Can I create a layout in cornerstone and then populate the content of each element using a custom PHP function?

[insecureabnormality]

I have a database of content that I want to use for the content in multiple pages.

I have PHP functions written to return the data I need for each element such as:

Title
Source Image Path
Description
etc.

Can I use cornerstone to build a page layout and then use the data I want to return for being the content of the headline element, image element and text element I am going to put on each page?

I saw there is a feature called loopers which looks like it could be used for this purpose but I’m not sure? I already have the PHP functions written so if it is possible to do it this way that would be better?

Can you please advise if it is possible to do what I am trying to do? and if so what is the best way to implement it?

Thanks in advance! (I hope! )

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for writing in!

You can have your function as a Looper Provider Custom filter. You might want to check this out:

You can use the Looper feature in returning the needed information within Cornerstone.

Hope this makes sense.
