Thanks for your help on the UI Themes which I got working, but I've realised that didn't solve my overall problem.

Is there an easy way to make the formatting of an Ari JDatatable, match the formatting of an Ari JTableSorter?

I find the formatting of the JTableSorter much better in the table I'm creating (smaller text, colours for both headings and table body etc.).

I tried combining the scripts:
E.g.

{arijdatatable}
{ariJtablesorter}

...table

{/ariJtablesorter}
{/arijdatatable}


but then the jtablesorter completely overrode the jdatatable and so even thought the formatting was great, I lost the search function - which is critical for the table.

I was thinking there might be an easy elegant solution to this.

Any help much appreciated.

Kind regards, domc

Sorry, but it is not possible to use plugins in this way. "ARI JDataTable" and "ARI JTableSorter" can wrap "ARI CSV Table" and "ARI SQL Table" plugins, but it is not possible to wrap "ARI JDataTable" with "ARI JTableSorter" and vice versa.

And there's no css style or something else which I could easily set in the script which will let me use the formatting for the jtablesorter within jdatatable?

Kind regards, Domc

Probably this post will be helpful.

That is excellent and I have got it to work by adding that css. Many thanks.

The only thing I would add for someone following this thread, is I created the file component_name/css/template.css in my front end and then used the following code (in order to include that file) in my view/tmp/default.php file:

$document = &JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addStyleSheet('components'.DS.'com_component_name'.DS.'css'.DS.'template.css');

in order to get it to work.
