repeater Table

[Martijn Geerts]

Started a new module for creating <tables> from repeater fields.

Feel free to grab it from github, do with it what you want.

It only works for simple text based fields inside a repeater.

To use it:

$table = $modules->get("RepeaterTable"); // initialize
$table->thead = true; // (bool) true/false, default = true, will render <th>
$table->indent = 3; // (mixed) false/int, where int is the level of indentation, default: false
$table = $table->render($page->repeater); // repeaterfield called repeater

<!-- output -->
<table class="table-repeater">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th class="col-1">Fieldlabel field 1</th>
			<th class="col-2">Fieldlabel field 2</th>
			<th class="col-3">Fieldlabel field 3</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr class="row-1">
			<td class="col-1">data for field 1, first repeater item</td>
			<td class="col-2">data for field 2, first repeater item</td>
			<td class="col-3">data for field 3, first repeater item</td>
		</tr>
		<tr class="row-2">
			<td class="col-1">data for field 1, second repeater item</td>
			<td class="col-2">data for field 2, second repeater item</td>
			<td class="col-3">data for field 3, second repeater item</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

For the HTML purist, I have added source code indentation where you can set how many tabs you wish to append before each element.

Please let me know if I should add this to the modules directory ?

Does someone have a good name for this ?

You're welcome. For me building tables is always time consuming.

That's going to save a lot of time, thank You!

Do you intend to make the output customizable in the future? Like soma did with his MarkupSimpleNavigation?

I have no plans to develop it further then this. For me it's just a time saver to build tables. If more people really like this module I can continue on this one. And add it to the modules directory to.

Can imagine I build in support for normal PageArray, manipute output etc.

@KaMeKuN, please talk in forum and not in PM.

If things are confusing for you, it might be confusing for others to.
