Tablemaker

Do you need a fast and simple way to show the content of one or more CSV-files on your Joomla! powered website? TableMaker is your solution!

Upload your CSV-file(s) en have each module process one file to generate it as a table on your site. Each module had different layout options, or you can write your own stylesheet in your template.

Basic options

Select CSV file

Select the file you want to show using the predefined Media Manager. Here, you can upload a new CSV-file as well. Another way to add CSV-files to your site is by uploading them through FTP in the folder 'images'.

Seperator

Here you can specify which seperator the CSV-file uses

Minimum characters to start searching

Enter the minimum number of characters to start a lookup in the table (if the lookup-option is enabled)

Captions

Leave this field empty if the captions are in the CSV-file. If not, enter each caption and seperate the columns with @#.

Pretext

If you need text in front of the table, you can enter it in this field.

Posttext

If you need text after the table, you can enter it in this field.

Lookup table

Option to activate a search field above the table.

Sortable

Option to allow visitors to sort the table by clicking on the caption. Columns can be sorted ascending and descending.

Allow HTML

If the CSV-file contains HTML, you need to activate this option, otherwise HTML-tags are stripped from the cells.

Pagination options

Show pagination

Turn this option on to have a long table split in different pages.

Number of rows per page

This sets the number of rows each page will show.

Alignment

This sets the alignment of the pagination element.

Links background

This sets the background color of the links to another page. This should be a hex value.

Links text color

This sets the text color of the links to another page. This should be a hex value.

Active link background

This sets the background color of the current pagenumber. This should be a hex value.

Background on hover

This sets the background color of the pagenumber when a visitor hovers over it. This should be a hex value.

Text color hover

This sets the text color of the pagenumber when a visitor hovers over it. This should be a hex value.

Let your table shine with your own styling

You want to control the styling of the table? No problem! You can disable the CSS-options in the module and style the table using only design elements from your template when showing the CSV-file.

What other people say

Version History

Version 1.2.1

• Pagination didn't work
• Code optimisations

Version 1.2.0

• [PRO] Added support for Tab delimitered files (both TSV and CSV)
• Lookup now has its own tab for its parameters
• HTML now has its own tab for its parameters
• [J3] Removed support for Joomla 3.10

Version 1.1.0

• [J5] Native support for Joomla 5
• Added support for upgrading from Tablemaker for CSV (opening the module is still required)
• Download ID should now be entered in the manifest per Joomla standard (no longer in the Gileba Framework plugin)
• [J3] Support for Joomla 3.10 is deprecated; Support for Joomla 3.9 and lower is removed

Version 1.0.2

• [J4] Make sure jQuery is loaded when Pagination or Lookup is enabled
• [J4] Remove joomlaimage information from URL
• Fixed a typo that prevented the color of the active pagination item to be used.

Version 1.0.1

• Added option to set the color of the active pagination item (previously only the backgroundcolor could be set).
• The field to set the minimum number of characters for a lookup in the table is now placed under the option to activate the lookup. It will only show when that option is enabled.
• All ID attributes now contain the ID of the module to be unique in case the module is used more than once on a page. This fixes a problem where lookup and pagination were not able to perform correctly when two or more modules are rendered on the same page. Check your custom CSS if you have used an id-attribute for styling this module (which is never recommended). All id-attributes have now changed to be unique in a DOM, as per definition.
• CSS ID-attribute 'csvtable' is only needed when the options lookup or pagination are enabled.
• Added version attribute to the manifest-file of the module.

Version 1.0.0

• First public release
