Entering and storing tabular data
Nick Urban - July 24, 2007 - 20:36
Hey All,
I'm looking for a way to let users enter and store tabular data. Something like Rails' Ajax Scaffold(http://www.ajaxscaffold.com) would be great, but regular HTML is fine too.
Most users will have just one table that they personally control, but certain users will be able to create multiple tables.
I tried using CCK with fieldgroup_table, but when I go to create a table it pops up four rows by default, with no obvious option to add more. I want users to start with an empty table, and then have the option to add rows to it one at a time.
Is there any way to do this with Drupal?
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks,

TAPIr
If you're programming something, take a look at TAPIr: http://drupal.org/project/tapir - I've never used it, but it looks fine.
