I love the formatting and flexibility of Smart Content, but I am having to use two different vendor's plugins to get the results I need.

I need a way to read in the CSV file to create the HTML table so your datatable plugin will render the searchable table.

Right now I am using your datatable plugin that includes CSV content from another vendors plugin but would like to have everything from on vendor to avoid conflicts.

{datatable autoWidth="0"}{artcsv2simpletable file="/files/orders/{JoomlaUserID}.csv" linedelim="\n" sortable="false"}{/artcsv2simpletable}{/datatable}

The Datatable with your jquery support is great, especially with the layout controls. The problem is that the CSV file is dynamic and changes based on the content being displayed so creating a pre-defined data source won't work. The other plugin reads the CSV file from a dynamic variable and then turns that over to the datatable plugin.

The Smart Content html table does this, but not from content, only a module. Is there another option from ARI?

Hello,

Do you want to use ID of currently logged user in CSV file name?

In my current case I have a plugin that displays the full path of the csv file like {{jev_upload_file}}...my example was something I tried to do as a workaround earlier. This is for data results that are uploaded and stored another events compnent--we upload a file that can be either xls, txt, or csv, etc. and then we use the plugin in the middle of your datatable plugin to create the html table that your plugin so nicely formats.

The extension contains "ARI Smart Content - Data Table" plugin. It can convert plain HTML tables to DataTable widget. For this wrap a HTML table with {datatable} ... {/datatable} plugin code. Read here about it.

Yes, I know...as you can see I am already using your datatable plugin. The problem is that I have to use another vendors plugin to convert the csv file into the html table for your plugin to run.

I was hoping since you already had a csv MODule, that a content plugin for csv to table would also be possible.

Thanks anyway.

Accordion to your first post, you use another plugin to use ID of currently logged user in name of CSV file. "ARI Smart Content" supports ability to use {$UserId} variable in CSV file name in data source settings.
