The easy way is to use the DEFAULT TEMPLATE, it is a table.

Create a type of content called PRODUCTS with 5/6/7 custom fields and assign them to the DEFAULT TEMPLATE create a menu item linked to the category and that is it.

Advanced solution is to create a custom module template that is a table.

thank you for the reply.

What I am actually trying to do is this

<?php if ((isset($item->positions ) ) ) : ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="table-responsive table-bordered table-hover">
<table class="table">

<?php foreach ($item->positions as $field) : ?>
<thead>
<tr>
<?php echo $field->display; ?>
</tr>

</thead>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<tbody>
<?php if ((isset($item->positions ) ) ) : ?>
<?php foreach ($item->positions as $field) : ?>
<tr>
<?php echo $field->display; ?>

</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ((isset($item->positions ) ) ) : ?>
<?php foreach ($item->positions as $field) : ?>
<tr>

<?php echo $field->display; ?>

</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ((isset($item->positions ) ) ) : ?>
<?php foreach ($item->positions as $field) : ?>
<tr>
<td> <?php echo $field->display; ?></td>

</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</tbody>

</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I can dynamically add text field to this using frontend submission.

The problem is if I want to add an image+text inside the table. If I can load the textarea just like the simple text field then my problem is solved

I even tried loading a module via field but I cannot add prefix and suffix to modules...(<td> </td>)

I addded fields and using <td> prefix and suffix, I can get them work inside the table...(simple text only)

Why don't you create 2 positions per <td> ?

This way you can have many fields inside the same td?

Sorry but my head is hurting at the moment

Is this what you mean by creating two positions?

Code:

<?php if ((isset($item->positions['tablerow1']  ) ) ) : ?>
		<?php if ((isset($item->positions['tablerow1a']  ) ) ) : ?>
		<?php foreach ($item->positions['tablerow1'] as $field) : ?>
			<?php foreach ($item->positions['tablerow1a'] as $field) : ?>
          <tr>
            <?php echo $field->display; ?>
            
          </tr>
		 	<?php endforeach; ?>
		  <?php endif; ?>
		  	  <?php endif; ?>
