Hi, is there a detailed PDF instruction manual on how to use the plugins - or rather how to programme the {} bits as I try to modify the look of my csv table:

e.g.

{arijcsv2table url="images/stories/csv/test1.csv" select="0,1,2"}

The above code works but the table is very long!


Right, now how do I add the wrap around to get it to be shorter with a next button perhaps using for example JTableSorter.

I copied the example and pasted the file url in and I get the same code showing on the web page:

{arijtablesorter url="images/stories/csv/test1.csv" select="0,1,2"}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>column1</th>
<th>column2</th>
<th>column3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>content1</td>
<td>content2</td>
<td>content3</td>
</tr>
</table>
{/arijtablesorter}

Any help greatly appreciated please, I am a zero programmer!

Hello,

ARI JCSV 2 Table can't use with ARI Table Sorter plugin. You can use ARI Table Sorter or other data table plugin with ARI CSV Table plugin, for this use the following code:

{arijtablesorter}
{aricsvtable file="images/stories/csv/test1.csv"}{/aricsvtable}
{/arijtablesorter}

Thank you, it looks similar as before, except the first one does looks better and I was able to select my columns the way I wanted e.g. 0,1,2

With the second component how do I make it so it shows 10 rows at a time? And selected columns only?

Hello,

try the following code, please:

{arijtablesorter paging="true" pageSize="10"}
{aricsvtable file="images/stories/csv/test1.csv"}{/aricsvtable}
{/arijtablesorter}

ARI CSV Table can't select only specified columns, but you can submit feature request for this feature here www.ari-soft.com/Feature-Request-for-ARI-Smart-Content/ and we'll implement it in future release. Now for do it you can use the following trick:

Use this code:
{arijtablesorter paging="true" pageSize="10"}
{aricsvtable file="images/stories/csv/test1.csv" className="myFirstTable"}{/aricsvtable}
{/arijtablesorter}

And create CSS Template in 'CS Template' section on backend of the component with the following text:

TABLE.myFirstTable TD,
TABLE.myFirstTable TH
{
display: none;
}

TABLE.myFirstTable TD.actCell_0,
TABLE.myFirstTable TH.actCell_0,
TABLE.myFirstTable TD.actCell_1,
TABLE.myFirstTable TH.actCell_1,
TABLE.myFirstTable TD.actCell_2,
TABLE.myFirstTable TH.actCell_2
{
display: table-cell !important;
display: block;
}

Thank you once again, it is starting to look like what I wanted.

I will carry on playing around. I also need to learn some CSS so I can customise the cell background colours etc.

You know I really like the CSS Template you have in the Administrative pages of Joomla. Makes it easier to store the css files. Saves me having to ftp in at the backend.
