I am looking to see if this product will meet my needs. I have spent a great deal of time in the sandbox and I think it generally works perfect for what I am after...however there are a few issues I still need to sort out. I should note, that I don't know PHP or CSS.
I will have a large table (10,000+ rows) with aproximately 13-15 columns of data. 2 of those columns are images. I will upload this data into an SQL database and use server side processing. Right now the data will be in one table, however I have considered if it needs to be moved to a relational database instead.
I would like the table to show aprox 5-7 columns per result which includes the 2 images. When I build a table, it looks terrible. (some of the data in the column is long latin words like: Discoglossus pictus)
I looked at master tables plugin as a solution, but the client really wants the images to be available on load.
Imagine a site like the one attached with each bullet point is a data source (in my case a column) and there are 2 images - much smaller that can be expanded. (Note - I am using an ecommerce site to demonstrate what I am after, however the info I need to present is NOT product info.)
I considered using CSS coding to adjust a column, row, but it didn't work in the sandbox when I tried.
You should be able to do that with string-type columns and HTML editor.
However, bulleted list would look like new rows, without seeing the bullets on front end.
Adding images is not an issue. You would be able to do it, again, with string columns by adding images with img HTML tags:
<img src="url-to-the-image">
So, you would be able to add a couple of images in line, like that without issues.
To make the bullet points hyperlinks, you would use <a href:
<a href="url">Text</a>
Choosing how many columns will be included in a table can be done through the query itself, by choosing only specific columns, or you could simply go to column settings and hide some of them.

<td rowspan="4">
<div class = "bulleted Text">
<ul>
<li>Splashback Poison Frog</li>
<li>Adelphobates galactonotus</li>
<li>(Linneas 1875)</li>
</ul></td>
You guys are smart. I figure there has to be a solution but I just can't figure it out! Thanks in advance.
