Issue Summary

Your nice little module is invaluable, and very handy and powerful.

One limitation through...

Can you please give the user the ability to EXPOSE the group-by options.

This will eliminate the need to manually create multiple views each time for every grouping pivot.

Thanks and regards
Bakr

Also, it it possible to give the user the option to customize what shows in the table caption.

Some thing like:

- add a custom text field
- show the value of other columns as well.

Real Example:

I using t-highlighter to list some employees, and I group them by Department.

I want to be able to show the name of division next to the department as well. as such "Department.Division"

Best wishes,

Too bad I am not good in php, though I am a veteran Lasso programmer (lassosoft.com)

Project:	Views Table Highlighter	» Views
Version:	6.x-1.1	» 7.x-3.x-dev

@bakr: Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Views Table Highlighter just extends Views's built-in Table style. Exposing the "Group by" selector would have to happen upstream in Views.
