Hi

I recently purchased the Data Table Pack, for the purpose of displaying Sortable Tables that contain Genealogical Data (Births, Deaths, Marriages, etc.), as well as wanting them to be searchable. I had already purchased the Sortable Tables extension, which turned out to be a waste of money as it would have been extremely time consuming to enter in the information, so I'm not giving up on this one!!!!

I have attempted to follow the instructions that you provide so that I can achieve what I want, but am rather confused by them. You can see what I currently have at this link, but I am unable to work out how to make the Data sortable, add the Search at the top, and also how many Results per page. I have entered the Code in HTML format within the Editor I use, so that is not the problem.

So, using the Table at the link I provided, could you please assist me with the correct Code that I need to achieve the desired effect?

Once I see that, then I will have no problem adding the numerous Tables that I still need to add (Births, Deaths).

Your assistance with this would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

Tikva

Hello,

It seems that you have placed HTML table in incorrect place. Place it between {arijtadatable} and {/arijdatatable} tags and should work fine. If you have any difficulties, provide access to your Joomla! backend by email (info@ari-soft.com) and we'll help you.

Ummmm, I didn't place any HTML table in the code at all. This is exactly what I have entered in my Editor (JCE) in HTML mode:

{arijdatatable}
{aricsvtable file="/genealogy/documents/Sinnamon_Marriages.csv"} {aricsvtablecolumns} {aricsvtablecolumn id="DATE" alias="Date" width="20%" className="idg"} {aricsvtablecolumn id="GROOM SURNAME" alias="Groom Surname"} {aricsvtablecolumn id="GROOM FORENAMES" alias="Groom Forenames"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="BRIDE SURNAME" alias="Bride Surname"} {aricsvtablecolumn id="BRIDE FORENAMES" alias="Bride Forenames"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="PARISH" alias="Parish"} {aricsvtablecolumn id="CIVIL DISTRICT" alias="Civil District"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="COUNTY" alias="County"} {/aricsvtablecolumns} {/aricsvtable}

Use the following code instead of your code, please:



PS: You forgot to close {arijdatatable} tag.

Awesome!!!! Thank you so very much! Finally I have found the right extension to enter all the Data I have.

Money well spent!

Sorry to be annoying, but wanted to know how to left align both the table data as well as the table headers, and also how to add borders, and the border color? I realise that it requires editing/creating a CSS Template, but the new template that I have created doesn't seem to be affecting the end result.

Many thanks in advance!
