This extension has not been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues.

Tagged with tables

This plugin is based on the plugin dbtables originally written by Stephen C. Many thanks.

Download and Installation

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Syntax and Usage

<itemtable c=name,[name, ...];[options]>
.
.
.
</itemtable>
<itemtable c=Column1,Column2,Column3;fdelim=:;header=Titel-Header>

Options

OptionDescriptionFormatDefault
c=name,[name,…]Names fields of the table which are separated by a comma; The order of the colums follows the orders how the columns are listed here For legacy reasons, the c{…}=colum could be listed for each individual column individually.
fdelimField Delimeter - representing how each DW-DB field is seperated Character :
headerTable Heading - representing the line in which a table name is defined Character
twidthWidth of the HTML table integer Undefined - Dokuwiki decides
norenderOutputs the DW-tables in Dokuwiki text format Charactier Undefined

Cellinput over several lines could be enclosed by the pair <tablecell> and </tablecell>.

Note that with twidth, and norender, you must assign some sort of value, for example, norender=1.

Examples

Standard table

<itemtable header=test;c=column_a;c=column_b,column_c;c=column_d;fdelim=:>

_line_a
column_a:text_a1
column_b:<tablecell>text_a2 \\ This is an example
how to fill a cell over several lines</tablecell>

_line_b
column_a:<tablecell>text_b1 \\ \\ As you can see, local DokuWiki CRLF sequences  
can be added to force a linebreak in the cell. Other formatting
elements could be used as well.
</tablecell>
column_c:text_b2 

</itemtable>

Result

Standard table not rendered

<itemtable header=test;c=column_a;c=column_b,column_c;c=column_d;fdelim=:;norender=1>

_line_a
column_a:text_a1
column_b:<tablecell>text_a2 \\ This is an example
how to fill a cell over several lines</tablecell>

_line_b
column_a:<tablecell>text_b1 \\ \\ As you can see, local DokuWiki CRLF sequences  
can be added to force a linebreak in the cell. Other formatting
elements could be used as well.
</tablecell>
column_c:text_b2 

</itemtable>

Result

test
column_a column_b column_c column_d
line_a text_a1 text_a2
This is an example how to fill a cell over several lines
line_b text_b1

As you can see, local DokuWiki CRLF sequences can be added to force a linebreak in the cell. Other formatting elements could be used as well.
text_b2

Suggestions / Bugs

  • Is there a way to put spaces in the column headings?
  • Eliminate the need for the first column as a description (i.e. no “_thing”) just start with the first named column.
  • Is there a way to put one entry over multiple cells (like HTML:rowspan or colspan) ?

DW plugin in table

I would like to use the "do plugin" in a cell of the table:

ToDo:<do USER DATE>TEXT</do>

Unfortunately it will not work. The do-plugin will not write any entry in his sqlite-database.

Any idea how to get it to work? 24.08.2011 Joachim

Table sortable and searchtable

It would be fine to have the table sortable and searchable.

I tried the following with searchtablejs plugin and sortablejs plugin, but is not working :!: Sorry, it is working, GREAT!:

<sortable>
<searchtable>
<itemtable .......>
......
......
</itemtable>
</searchtable>
</sortable>

  • Eliminate first column: Yes, this is really what I need.
  • Rowspan is already possible. Just put ::: into the cell which you want to be “rowspaned”.
    Colspan: I don't know how to do it. I think an extension of the plugin is necessary to enable it.

The most severe problem I have is that the table the itemtable plugin generates is always nested in another table (with only one cell). Is this a problem with compatibility? I'm using Release 2012-09-10 “Adora Belle RC1”.

I too have the problem that the table is nested in another table with only one cell.
