Displaying table content

  • marcfest started the conversation

    Hello, is it possible to use your plugin to display the contents of a table not as a table or chart, but sequential as part of a page layout and with different styling (font size, etc) used for content from different columns?

    For example, the display on the page may look like this (with A1 and A2 using a larger font than the lines below, "B1, C1" and "B2, C2").

    "A1"
    B1, C1

    "A2"
    B2, C2
    ...

    I want to use this approach to display the contents of a table containing testimonial texts, names, organization and titles.

    Thank you for letting me know.

    Hello Marc

    Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

    I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.

    Perhaps you could extract the data of an existing table in new tables, so you can display those new, "mini" tables on the page using shortcodes. Our development team is looking into adding the single-cell shortcode, but at the moment that is not possible.

    So, to use this approach, you could use SQL Query based tables to extract only desired columns.

    Do you maybe have an example of the table from which you'd like to extract content, so I can take a look and offer some advice? To apply different styling, you can use some custom CSS.

    Kind Regards,
