[SOLVED] About using joomunited droptables

Hi Gauthier,

Please let me know if you find a solution.

I didn't find droptables that useful as I was looking for something that my clients could paste from word or excel and have a nice format rather than trying with JCE Editor - and be really simple.

Something like this:
www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables
tableizer.journalistopia.com/
but for Joomla

However - droptables seems too complex for my clients needs - they don't need graphs or themes. All they need is a table in the design I built - and couldn't work out a way to set the default theme. So - I spent the afternoon overwriting it - and hiding the features.

Hi Robert,

Our problem with droptables is more about the size of the table, as an entire table is stored in a single DB field, we can't make it very big.

Our solution won't be as easy as copy pasting from excel. We are asking developers to create a template that can display items as a table and we will import our items via csv import function. Each column will correspond to a custom field.

This is because we will soon have more than 1000 lines in our table, so the table itself is not as important as the possibility to search, sort and filter the table.
