The demo for the ARI Smart Content: ARI CSV Table plugin includes {coltemplate}{$NAME} - {$ID}{/coltemplate}. I figured out that {$NAME} - {$ID} inserts the values from the two columns into a single column, but I've not been able to find out how/what else {coltemplate) can be used. Where do I find the information? Also, how do I select just the columns I want to display?

Hello,

{coltemplate} is used if you want to format value from the selected column. It is also possible to use values from the same record from another column. For example if CSV file contains Price, ID, ProductName columns their values can be used in {coltemplate} with help of the following variables:

{$Price}

{$ID}

{$ProductName}

Thank you for the quick reply. What do you mean by format the value? Can I trim zeros from numbers and/or use a substring operation on a string? What formatting options are available?

It is possible to use the following filters:

* html_truncate truncates HTML string. Can accepts two parameters. The first parameter is string length and the second parameter is more text;

* lower_case transforms string to lower case;

* restore_tags restores HTML tags in truncated HTML string;

* strip_tags strips HTML tags. In the first parameter you can indicate safe tags;

* truncate truncates string. Can accepts two parameters. The first parameter is string length and the second parameter is more text;

* upper_case transforms string to upper case;

* number_format works like number_format PHP function;

filters are used in the following way:

{$Name|html_truncate:10}
