Adding Table Formatter

Applied patch in #1 to 7.x-1.x-dev (Mar 4) and it functions properly.

It works great, @7.x-1.x-dev (Mar 4)

can u please make it clear and tell us what is the use case of this Table Formatter?

We are creating a project management system, where a purchase order include line items. Typical purchase orders are listed in table format, with each line as a single ordered item with quantity, description, and price. Having all the information in one node is ideal, thus using Field collection.

r u telling me that it's for showing something like an excel sheet in a node?

joostvdl, I applied the patch and see the table option among the Format options in the dropdown menu. I cannot find any more options. How do I control which content is in the columns titles and can I have row titles? Can this table format be made available for both data input and data display?

+1 for #9 : table format for i/p & o/p

joostvdl, I have worked with the table function a lot today and see that the field labels are the column labels (titles) as you wrote. I guess I do need to look somewhere else for a solution because I lack the skills to create it myself.

I need a table with 4 rows and 3 columns including labels (for the rows and columns). I'll have to look around for the table data input modules you mentioned, do you know their names by chance? I just hope that they work with field collections since that is what I have been using.

confirming the patch works

It seems there is a problem with displaying node references.
I get the following messages

•Notice: Undefined index: access în node_reference_field_formatter_view() (line 382 in /var/www/kalimera/sites/all/modules/references/node_reference/node_reference.module).
•Notice: Undefined index: #markup în field_collection_field_formatter_view() (line 708 in /var/www/kalimera/sites/all/modules/field_collection/field_collection.module).

Is there anyone else experiencing the same issue?

And also file fields are not displayed.

I am getting similar error as #16 for taxonomy term reference fields. Problem does not exist with normal formatting, and is only with table formatting.

>Is it possivle to add it via an extra custom module?
Yep, and I think this is the best-way to do it for additions, so the author can care about maintaining it properly. Of course I'm happy to add links to any field-collection related extensions on the project page.

Also, marking as needs work due to previous comments.

What happened to the table formatter patch? Has it been removed from dev? I installed 7.x-1.x-dev (15 June) and the table option is not appearing on the display format options?

I applied the patch (manually) to 7.x-1.x-dev (June 15). I set the table format and the collection appears in a table as expected but I get the following errors at the same time. Can someone help please.

#9: i/p form for table can be helpful
I have attached an image (edited from a screenshot of tableform)
http://drupal.org/project/tableform

I've created a Field Collection Table module, with the code from #1, but fixing the errors described in #21 (taxonomy fields). I have yet to test the node reference code, but that will come shortly.

awesome! I've added a link to it on the project page.

@tim.plunkett: Thank you but how do i install it?

@calculus, I've just made a 7.x-1.x-dev download, but it won't show up for a couple hours. In the meantime you could use git: git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/project/field_collection_table.git

OK thank you.
