How to apply formatting to .csv table plugins?! 14 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
Could one of the users (or ARI staff) quickly offer me a few more thorough instructions on getting the formatting to work for ANY of the smart-content plugins that display CSV files as tables on joomla articles.

I've got a simple schedule .csv file and I've gotten it to display but I feel like there is a gap between the basic instructions (getting it on the page) and somehow applying these nice graphic features to the table.

All I'm looking for is a more complete set of instructions showing how to make a smart-content table that LOOKS LIKE the DARKNESS themed table on this page ---> http://smart.ari-soft.com/ari-jdatatable.html


I wonder if someone could simply share the actual plugin syntax used on that page above to produce that table? I'm thinking that would help even more than the instructions on that page!

I've tried to follow the instructions on several of the plugins, but all I get is my .csv file displaying as plain black and white table. No search (as in the page abve) no formatting, etc....

Yes, I realize you put the various parameters into the plugin tab. You set the variables you want, but I failed in my attempts. I'm guessing I have to wrap certain plugin tags inside other plugin tags, and alsy apply some styles. I really want to do my part and read the instructions rather than clogging up the forum, but I need some help.

(Note, not a joomla noob. Run 10+ joomla sites, with lots of extensionis over the last three years now.

Hello,

On our demo site you see "ARI CSV Table" plugin which is wrapped with "ARI JDataTable" plugin. If you want to do the same on your site, do the following steps, please:

1. Place in article "ARI CSV Table" plugin.

2. Wrap it with "ARI JDataTable" plugin. It will look like:

{arijdatable}
{aricsvtable file="data.csv"}
{/aricsvtable}
{/arijdatable}

3. Open 'ARI JDataTable' plugin settings page on the component backend and set 'Using jQuery UI themes' parameter to 'Yes'.

4. Open 'ARI JQuery UI Loader' plugin settings page and set 'Default jQuery UI 1.7.2 theme' parameter to 'darkness'.

That's all.

Regards,
ARI Soft

Still nothing but a black and white table. 14 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
Dear Admin,

I have done exactly as you said but there is still nothing but a black and white table. The settings you specified are definitely set.

Below is the syntax I used on the page. The top shows what you asked me to try.

The bottom shows what I tried before posting on the forum.

They both display about the same exactly thing... with no formatting at all. (My licenses are all updated, all the settings in the backend under this component show files as writable.

You can see the actual output here, with a space between both tables.

{arijdatatable}
{aricsvtable file="schedule.csv"}
{/aricsvtable}
{/arijdatatable}

{arijdatatable}
{aricsvtable file="schedule.csv" }
{aricsvtablecolumns}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="course" alias="Course" width="20%" headerClassName="head"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="location" alias="Location" headerClassName="head"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="date" alias="Date" headerClassName="head"}
{aricsvtablecolumn id="price" alias="Price" headerClassName="head"}
{coltemplate}{$NAME} - {$ID}{/coltemplate}
{/aricsvtablecolumn}
{/aricsvtablecolumns}
{/aricsvtable}
{/arijdatatable}

Could you provide temporary access to your Joomla! backend by email that we can investigate this issue? It seems like conflict with 3rd party extension that uses jQuery javascript library.

Try now, please. We have installed 'System - ARI Smart Content' plugin instead 'ARI Smart Content' Joomla! plugin. This plugin helps avoid conflict between the 3rd party extensions. It was conflict with 'System - JB Library' plugin.
