Interface or simpler documentation? #3

I was a bit confused about how to setup my data source and was surprised how simple the resulting union data source file actually was. I think it would be great if this extension could either feature an interface to create the union data source (this would only need the pagination settings and a multi select box of all existing data sources) or simply offer an example union data source (which would only consist of a few lines of code which would be easier to understand).

By the way, this is a gorgeous extension, Brendan! So thanks a lot!

This is planned for down the track, these first couple of releases were a proof of concept. I just wanted to know if it could be done, and thankfully, it looks like it can be :D

As soon as you have understood how to set things up it works perfectly. A really helpful little thing this extension :)

@nils I've been working on an interface for creating Union Datasources today, it's on the integration branch, care to test?
