Using TWiki Variables in the Format Parameter

  By default, variables in <initial value> (of text input field) and <label text> (of fixed label) get expanded when a new row is added. This can be used for example to add a timestamp to a label. You can escape characters with format tokens if you do not want that.

Edit Table Plugin

Changed:
<
<
This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an [ Edit table ] button if preceeded by an %EDITTABLE{...}% variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box, a date field, etc. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.
>
>
Edit TWiki tables in place, using edit fields and drop down boxes, without having to edit the complete topic.

Simply add an [ Edit table ] button to an existing table by writing %EDITTABLE{}% directly above the table. This can be added to tables that are formatted with TablePlugin: add the EDITTABLE variable just above or below the TABLE tag. It can also be used without any TABLE tag.

Customize entry fields by specifying the format: use a text field, a drop down box, a date field, radio buttons or checkboxes.

Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.

 

Per Table Settings

Changed:
<

Add a %EDITTABLE{...}% variable just before an existing table to make it editable, or add the variable anywhere in a topic to start a new table. Parameters:

... will get expanded to 31 Oct 2024 22:57 when the new row is created.

To prevent variable expansion: escape the format variable with formatting tokens (particularly $percnt).

For example:
%EDITTABLE{ format="| text, 20, $percntY$percnt |" }%
... will create a new row with $percntY$percnt. In view mode this is temporarily translated to %Y% and subsequent rendered as DONE.

25 Dec 2007: 4.7.1: Arthur Clemens: Added warning if include parameter topic does not exist.
22 Dec 2007: 4.7: Arthur Clemens: Changed handling of escaped variables. To escape TWiki variable, use formatting tokens such as $percnt.
16 Dec 2007: 4.6: Kenneth Lavrsen: The plugin prevents TablePlugin from initsorting the table being edited. This is done by temporarily appending the attribute disableallsort="on" to the TABLE tag of a table being edited. Additionally all header sorting is disabled while editing a table by setting a hidden formfield sort to "off". Disabling sorting while editing is needed now that the EditTablePlugin supports moving rows up and down.
01 Dec 2007: 4.3: Arthur Clemens: added support for TablePlugin headerrows and footerrows; updated edit button
16 Oct 2007: 4.2: Arthur Clemens: refactoring, bug fixes.
07 Oct 2007: 15182: PTh: Added VarEDITTABLE to have it listed in TWikiVariables

Edit Table Plugin

This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an [ Edit table ] button if preceeded by an %EDITTABLE{...}% variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box, a date field, etc. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.

The following example shows a simple table with key/value rows. The default edit field type for the value column is a text field. This is overloaded by a selector for the Gender, and a date picker for the DOB. This is typically used by TWiki applications where new topics with tables are created based on a template topic.

  • ALERT! Bug: The Plugin fails if the table is at the very end of the topic (without a new line) Always ensure there is a newline after the table
 
  • This Plugin does not support TWiki table formatting like Multi-span cells (e.g. | ... ||) and cell justification (e.g. |  centered  |   right |)
  • There is a performance issue when editing a large table, say, with more then 50 rows
  • Variables like %ATTACHURL% get expanded unless they are in a label

Edit Table Plugin

This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an [ Edit table ] button if preceeded by an %EDITTABLE{...}% variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box, a date field, etc. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.

Line: 10 to 10
 Add a %EDITTABLE{...}% variable just before an existing table to make it editable, or add the variable anywhere in a topic to start a new table. Parameters:

Parameter Comment Default
Changed:
<
<
header Enable static header if "on", e.g. disable editing of the first row;
Else specify the header format of a new table like "|*Food*|*Drink*|".

- Drop down box:
  | select, <size>, <option 1>, <option 2>, etc |
- Fixed label:

- Row number:
  | row, <offset> |
- Date:
  | date, <size>, <initial value>, <DHTML date format> |

Per Cell Settings

Changed:
<
<
The edit field type can be defined for each table cell by placing an %EDITCELL{ "type, ..." }% variable after the cell content. This is useful to override the per column %EDITTABLE{ format="..." }% settings, or to create tables with key/value rows. All edit field types of the format="..." parameter are supported, e.g. to define a text field, type: | cell content %EDITCELL{ "text, 20" }% |
>
>
An individual edit field type can be defined for each table cell. Place an %EDITCELL{ "type, ..." }% variable at the end of the cell content. This is useful to override the per column %EDITTABLE{ format="..." }% settings, or to create tables with key/value rows. All edit field types of the format="..." parameter are supported. For example, to define a text field, type: | cell content %EDITCELL{ "text, 20" }% |
 
Changed:
<
<
It is also possible to place the edit button into a cell instead of default location below the table. Type | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit this table" }% | to show a button, or | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit table, Image-URL" }% | to show a button image with alternate text.
>
>

Initial Values

By default, variables in <initial value> (of text input field) and <label text> (of fixed label) get expanded when a new row is added. This can be used for example to add a timestamp to a label. You can escape characters if you do not want that:

 
Text: To Escape:
$quot Double quote ("). Alternatively write \" to escape it
$percnt Percent sign (%)
$dollar Dollar sign ($)
$nop or $nop() Is a "no operation"

Date Field Type

Edit Table Calendar Example The date field type allows one to choose a date with a popup calendar. Popup calendar works for Netscape 6.0 or better, all other Gecko-based browsers, Internet Explorer 5.0 or better for Windows, Opera 7 and Konqueror 3.1.2. The ... button is inactive if the browser cannot support the popup calendar. It uses the nice Mishoo DHTML calendar, see also TWiki:Codev/JavaScriptDatePickerForForm

Per Cell Settings

The edit field type can be defined for each table cell by placing an %EDITCELL{ "type, ..." }% variable after the cell content. This is useful to override the per column %EDITTABLE{ format="..." }% settings, or to create tables with key/value rows. All edit field types of the format="..." parameter are supported, e.g. to define a text field, type: | cell content %EDITCELL{ "text, 20" }% |

It is also possible to place the edit button into a cell instead of default location below the table. Type | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit this table" }% | to show a button, or | %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit table, Image-URL" }% | to show a button image with alternate text.

Note: The EDITCELL variable cannot be used by itself; place an EDITTABLE variable at the beginning of a table where you want to use EDITCELL variables.

Date Field Type

The following example shows a simple table with key/value rows. The default edit field type for the value column is a text field. This is overloaded by a selector for the Gender, and a date picker for the DOB. This is typically used by TWiki applications where new topics with tables are created based on a template topic.

Table Buttons

  • In page view mode:
    • - turn the table into edit mode
  • In edit mode:
    • - save your changes
    • - save your changes without alerting subscribed WebNotify users
    • - add row to the table (if enabled)
    • - remove last row from the table (if enabled)
    • - cancel without saving and release edit lock
 

Examples

Line before table: %EDITTABLE{ header="|*Nr*|*Text field sandbox*|*Drop down sandbox*|*Timestamp*|" format="| row, -1 | text, 20, init | select, 1, one, two, three, four | label, 0, %SERVERTIME{"$day $mon $year $hour:$min"}% |" changerows="on" }%

Date Field Type

Edit Table Calendar Example The date field type allows one to choose a date with a popup calendar. Popup calendar works for Netscape 6.0 or better, all other Gecko-based browsers, Internet Explorer 5.0 or better for Windows, Opera 7 and Konqueror 3.1.2. The ... button is inactive if the browser cannot support the popup calendar. It uses the nice Mishoo DHTML calendar, see also TWiki:Codev/JavaScriptDatePickerForForm

Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, for example, %EDITTABLEPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

  • One line description, shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
    • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes

  • Set DEBUG to 1 to get debug messages in data/debug.txt. Default: 0
    • Set DEBUG = 0

  • Default for change rows flag: on, off, add
    • Set CHANGEROWS = on

  • Language of DHTML calendar, pointing to attached calendar-<code>.js language file: en, de, es, fr, jp
    • Set JSCALENDARLANGUAGE = en

  • Additional options of DHTML calendar:
    • Set JSCALENDAROPTIONS =

Note: The Plugin looks for the JSCALENDAR* settings first in the TWiki Preferences, then in above Plugin settings

Edit Table Plugin

This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an [ Edit table ] button if preceeded by an %EDITTABLE{...}% variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box or a row number. Multiple tables per topic can be editable, but only one at a time canbe edited.

EditTablePlugin Global Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, for example, %INTERWIKIPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

  • One line description, shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
    • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes.

  • Set DEBUG to 1 to get debug messages in data/debug.txt. Default: 0
    • Set DEBUG = 0

Per Table Settings

Add a %EDITTABLE{...}% variable just before an existing table to make it editable, or add the variable anywhere in a topic to start a new table. Parameters:

Parameter Comment Default
header Enable static header if "on", e.g. disable editing of the first row;
Else specify the header format of a new table like "|*Food*|*Drink*|".
(no header)
format The format of one row when editing the table. A cell can be a text input field, a drop down box, a fixed label, or a row number. Cell definitions:
-Text input field (1 line): | text, <size>, <initial value> |
-Textarea input field: | textarea, <rows>x<columns>, <initial value> |
- Drop down box: | select, <size>, <option 1>, <option 2>, etc |
- Fixed label: | label, 0, <label text> |
- Row number: | row, <offset> |
- Date: | date, <sizet> |
"text, 16" for all cells
changerows Rows can be added and removed if "on";
Rows can be added but not removed if "add"
"on"
include Other topic defining the EDITTABLE parameters. The first %EDITTABLE% in the topic is used. This is useful if you have many topics with the same table format and you want to update the format in one place. (none)
helptopic Topic name containing help text shown below the table when editing a table. The %STARTINCLUDE% and %STOPINCLUDE% variables can be used in the topic to specify what is shown. (no help text)

Note: By default, variables in <initial value> (of text input field) and <label text> (of fixed label) get expanded when a new row is added. This can be used for example to add a timestamp to a label. You can escape characters if you do not want that:

Text: To Escape:
$quot Double quote ("). Alternatively write \" to escape it
$percnt Percent sign (%)
$dollar Dollar sign ($)
$nop or $nop() Is a "no operation"

Examples

Line before table: %EDITTABLE{ header="|*Nr*|*Text field sandbox*|*Drop down sandbox*|*Timestamp*|" format="| row, -1 | text, 20, init | select, 1, one, two, three, four | label, 0, %SERVERTIME{"$day $mon $year $hour:$min"}% |" changerows="on" }%

Nr Text field sandbox Drop down sandbox Timestamp
1 hello table one 26 Jun 2002 12:30
2   two 27 Jun 2002 12:40
<-- /editTable -->

If this plugin is installed you will see an [ Edit table ] button above; when you click on it you get this form:

Nr Text field sandbox Drop down sandbox Timestamp
1 26 Jun 2002 12:30
2 27 Jun 2002 12:40
(demo only, these buttons do not work)

Limitations and Known Issues

  • This Plugin does not support TWiki table formatting like Multi-span cells (e.g. | ... ||) and cell justification (e.g. |  centered  |   right |).
  • There is a performance issue when editing a large table, say, with more then 50 rows.
  • The Plugin fails if the table is at the very end of the topic (without a new line) Always ensure there is a newline after the table
  • Variables like %ATTACHURL% get expanded unless they are in a label.
  • Warning: This plugin uses undocumented functions to read, save and lock a topic. The plugin will likely break in a future TWiki release.
  • You cannot put two %EDITTABLE% statements on the same line in the source.
  • You can include %-vars now in select values, by quoting them with <nop>, as in %<nop>X% for ALERT!, say for instance:
    select,1,%<nop>X%,%<nop>Y%
  • date field type for the format parameter adds a button popping a javascript calendar to choose the date on browsers supporting it. It uses the nice Mishoo DHTML calendar at http://dynarch.com/mishoo/calendar.epl, that should be included in Cairo release, or see TWiki:Codev/JavaScriptDatePickerForForm for installing it on Beijing Release

    • Check above example if there is an [ Edit table ] button below the table in above example
    • Click on [ Edit table ], make changes and save the table
