This plugin was originally written by Steven Danz. The current version fixes security bugs and incorporates several patches by other contributors.
This is a simple plugin that will display CSV data in table form. The data can either be inline between <csv> and </csv> or be read from a file in the media area using <csv namespace:test.csv></csv>.
If you are planning to use csv files in the media area, you will most likely need to include the .csv file extension in mime.local.conf so you can upload .csv files. Something like this should get you started:
csv application/msexcel
The <csv> tag allows for additional options to be specified as well as a file reference.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
hdr_rows=<n> | Format the first <n> rows of data from the CSV as column headers. Default: 1 |
span_empty_cols=[01] | Create colspans for each empty (two adjacent commas) cell following a cell with content. Default: 0 |
delim=<char> | The delimiter used between cells. Specify tab for a tab separated file. Default: , |
Cells that include a comma as part of the data are expected to be contained between double quotes, which is the typical behaviour of most systems when exporting .csv files.
