Changing cell properties

Hi,

OK here's my replies and limit you may encounter:

Different individual color cells >> Yes you can do that
Adjustable row/column sizes >> Yes you can do that
Different font color per cell >> Yes you can do that
Merging cells >> Yes you can do that
Scroll bars - vertical and horizontal >> Yes you can do that, it depends of the responsive mode you enable, it can be scrolling or column hiding with priority
Hyperlinks - I assume a hyperlink can be placed in any cell? >> Yes you can do that
Printing a table >> It's not Droptables related, more something handled by your browser. There's no dedicated CSS layout for print
Can a table be downloaded to CSV or Excel, or saved to PDF? >> Yes in xls from admin, there's an export option

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Thank you Tristan. That's what I needed to know.

Hi guys,

With regards to adding hyperlink to cell, how would I do that?

Thanks,
Gavin

Hi,

You have to switch cell format to HTML and use the editor.
Note that link is added to content in the cell not to the cell itself.

Cheers,

Thanks Tristan. I'm trying to hyperlink to other joomla articles, is that possible? I just notice that the option to link to a URL but rather link to articles?

Hi,

A new version is about to be online tomorrow with an option to load editor buttons (it includes article links).

Cheers

Thanks for this. Just received the update and installed. How would I hyperlink to an article? I'm looking in the backend but not seeing anything obvious

Hi,

The link manager and editor haven't change but you can activate "article" button to make links to Joomla articles.
it has to be done through the component configuration.

Cheers,

Ah, didnt see that there. Thank you.

Hi Tristan,

Quick question. How can I get the articles that I hyperlink from the droptable to appear on there own and not surrounded by the modules that are on the homepage? For example, clicking on a hyperlink created in the droptable in my conference page brings the reader to this page:-

http://topsidesuk.com/32-conference/speakers/323-steve-moir-engineering-manager-sky-futures

I'm wanting just the article to appear on a new page but not in the format as the homepage.

Can you help?

Regards,
Gavin

Hi,

This is not a question related to Droptables but to Joomla. When you create a link to an article that don't have any menu link that point on it all the modules that are affected to All pages or All pages except are loaded. The trick is to create an hidden menu that point on this article or a category of article and setup the modules you want to display.
