After several weeks of studying Shindig and the sample container, I would like to create my own container that will deal with my own social data (on a local MySQL database).
I thought of duplicating the "socialdata/samplecontainer" and "socialrest/samplecontainer" folders, and changing the classes to read from my database instead of the XmlStateFileFetcher.php. However, in this case I also have to change index.php to read from my folders instead of the samplecontainer folders, and then I may have problems when updating the SVN. Is there a better way to connect Shindig to an existing database?
