I'm brand new to Joomla and am trying to figure out the first steps for using JDataTable. How do I put the "Usage" and parameters into a module or article? Does anybody have an example, maybe also an example using a database?

I've spent many hours looking for documentation about this. I guess the first steps are too basic to be documented, I'm probably the only person that doesn't know how to do this.

Thanking you in advance for help.

Hello,

If you want to embed a plugin to an article, just place plugin code into
article. For example, if you want to add 'ARI JDataTable' to an article,
open necessary article and place the next code into an article:

{arijdatatable bPaginate="true"}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>column1</th>
<th>column2</th>
<th>column3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>content1</td>
<td>content2</td>
<td>content3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content4</td>
<td>content5</td>
<td>content6</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
{/arijdatatable}

We recommended to switch editor to plain text mode if you use a WYSIWYG
editor because in design mode WYSIWYG editors can add some extra HTML tags
which can break plugin code.
