I hope this is the correct place to ask this, my apologies if not.

In the instructions for using Table Manager it says...

The tables can be displayed in any node simply by typing: [tablemanager:1]

What I don't understand is where this is typed? I've tried in the content area of a page node with php input selected but no joy. It's probably really obvious?

Cheers by the way for a fab CMS.

many thanks

Mark

You put it in the content area with everything else. Make sure you have the tablemanager filter enabled for whatever filter you're using (enable it on the Input Formats page)

(1) navigate to

Administer >> Site configuration >> Input formats

and choose "add input formats"

(alternatively, point your browser at {BASE ADDRESS}/admin/settings/filters/add)

(2) activate the "Tablemanager filter" check box

(3) give the new filter a name like "using Tablemanager filter"

(4) save configuration

(5) create a post or blog entry or whatever with the text "[tablemanager:1]" appearing somewhere in the body of the post; note that you must have created at least one table with tablemanager for the command to mean anything (the "1" refers to the number of the table you want to display)

(6) IMPORTANT: when creating the post (or when editing the post after it was created), open the "Input formats" section (scroll down the page if you don't see it; should be right below the text input box) and select "using Tablemanager filter" or whatever you named your new filter

Step (6) is what activates the tablemanager filter so that it is applied to the post. If you don't have the filter activated on your post, then "[tablemanager:1]" will just appear as text in your post. If the filter is activated, then "[tablemanager:1]" will be replaced by table 1.

If you are adding a table to an old post, make sure to perform step (6).
