Plugin Fancy Table

Use this wiki plugin to display data using the odd/even table style. Settings allow the table to be sortable by multiple rows, cause rows to span multiple columns and vice versa, set individual column widths and align text horizontally and vertically. Beginning with Tiki12 add sorting, filtering and pagination using the tablesorter parameters (separate tab below).

Plugin Manager error: fancytable plugin not found

Prerequisites and Tips

  • In order to use tablesorter,
    • Javascript must be enabled (enabled by default at Control Panels > Features > Programmer (tab)
    • jQuery Sortable Tables must be activated (at Control Panels > Features > Interface (tab)
  • Sorting a table with cells that span multiple columns or rows can give unexpected results
  • Any | that you don't want interpreted as cell dividers may need to be placed inside of the ~np~ and ~/np~ tags.

Examples

Sorting, Filtering and Paginating

There are a number of options that allow the user to filter, sort and paginate a table. Below is an example that demonstrates many of these options.

This code:

The jQuery Sortable Tables feature must be activated for the sort feature to work.

 Tip
Shift-click on column headings to sort by multiple columns.

Automatic Totals

Automatic columns, row and table totals can be added. In addition to sums, the totals can be the count, max, min, mean, median, mode, range, varp, vars, stdevp, and stdevs (click here for a description of these options). The number format can also be set to apply to all totals or specific formats for each. The example below has all three types of totals (column, row and table) as well as variations showing totals based on whether values are hidden or not, including due to filtering.

{FANCYTABLE(head=" Fruit | Number | Vegetables |  Amount" sortable="type:reset" sortList="[0,0],[1,0],[2,y],[3,y],[4,n]" colaligns="left|right|left|right" tsortcolumns="type:text|type:digit|type:word|type:digit" tsfilters="type:text;placeholder:Type to filter...|type:range;from:0;to:200|type:dropdown|type:range;from:5;to:60;style:popup" tsfilteroptions="type:reset" tspaginate="max:5" tstotals="type:col|type:col;filter:hidden|type:col;filter:all|type:all|type:all;filter:hidden|type:all;filter:all|type:row" tstotaloptions="ignore||ignore|" tstotalformat="#,###.")}

Multiple live filtering

In a simpler example, all you need to do is set sortable to y, in addition to being able to sort each column, you also get a line with fields to filter your data by matching a search string in one or more columns.

Example from http://i18n.tiki.org/Status :
This code:

Copy to clipboard
{FANCYTABLE(head="Language code (ISO)|English name|Native Name|Completion|Percentage|Number of strings", sortable="y")}
ar | Arabic | العربية | {gauge value="2,29" size="100" showvalue="false"} | 2,29% | Total: 14923 %%% Translated: 341 %%% Untranslated: 14582 
bg | Bulgarian | български език | {gauge value="0,01" size="100" showvalue="false"} | 0,01% | Total: 14922 %%% Translated: 2 %%% Untranslated: 14920 
ca | Catalan | Català | {gauge value="39,22" size="100" showvalue="false"} | 39,22% | Total: 14996 %%% Translated: 5882 %%% Untranslated: 9114 
...
{FANCYTABLE}

Then you can sort by one or more columns, and filter you results by searching for some string in one or more columns. In the example below, sorted by one column ("Percentage"), and filtered by content in another column ("Native name" containing "de"):

Cells Spanning More Than One Row Or More Than One Col

If the cell begins with (multiple) \, then the cell spans (multiple) rows. Define lesser cols in the following rows.
If the cell begins with (multiple) /, then the cell spans (multiple) cols. Define lesser cols in this row.

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{FANCYTABLE( head=" Col 1 | Col 2 ")}
\\1,1 (spans 2 rows)|1,2
2,2
//3,1 (spans 2 cols)
{FANCYTABLE}


Would produce:

Col 1 Col 2
1,1 (spans 2 rows) 1,2
2,2
3,1 (spans 2 cols)
