Not Reading CSS

The whole point of tablemanager is that it uses the standard call to theme_table and so, uses your current themes css file. *That's* what you need to alter... Enabling tablemanager.css is completely experimental and only allows you to do so much... This is because you're essentially creating a conflict as both your theme and the tablemanager css files get imported for the table. I would assume your theme takes presidence here - hence my view that it's your theme you need to change.

TBH it's a pity that the theme_table call doesn't allow you to specify style tags for all the table elements, then you could completely separate tablemanager tables from normal tables and theme them differently.

Hmmm... Wait... You did actually enable the css in settings didn't you? Just checking as you said 'no changes made any difference'? I know the file is accessed correctly as I have it working myself (just as the standard default) here

Pobster

When you enable it does it display the background picture like mine does in the link I gave you above?

...I confess I'm intrigued :o)

Pobster

Ah no you see there *is* a background picture - it's a sort of shimmery grey background which repeats itself across the table. It's not the standard which is a plain 'matt' grey.

You know you can set 'class' tags within the html elements part of the filter, you could then reference them in the tablemanager.css file.

Pobster

I'll knock you up an example if you'd like? (later)

Pobster

Okay just to give you a range of options, you can either;

Specify your styles from the node you're using

Or,

Change the tablemanager0.css file (call so, as there used to be a tablemanager1.css file but I noticed a HUGE bug with the way Drupal works so I had to get rid of it).

For the first way you'd do something like this;

[tablemanager:1, NULL, FALSE, NULL, class = special]

The table code output will then look like this:

<table class="special">

Now the (stupid in my opinion) thing about this is that it *only* affects the table tag itself and not anything else associated with the table, such as the <tr> and <td> tags. That means you can only set styles for that particular table tag and not the rows and cells inside it without affecting other tables you may have on your page (which kind of includes everything from your header, events, footer, etc...)

Anyways, to see it working type this:

<style type="text/css">
table.special {font-size: 24pt;}
</style>

[tablemanager:1, NULL, FALSE, NULL, class = special]

Erm, I'm a bit busy at work atm, so I'll give you an example of using the css file a bit later.

Pobster

Just for some clarity with what I've written above, type this instead;

<style type="text/css">
table.special {font-size: 24pt;}
tr.odd {font-size: 12pt;}
</style>

[tablemanager:1, NULL, FALSE, NULL, class = special]

See the point I'm making is that *any* table which utilizes <tr class="odd"> will obviously be affected... It's a shame theme_table doesn't apply a class tag to every table element.

Pobster

Incidentally... Don't forget that you can now 'theme' cells (was quite proud of this!) by using this when entering data;

[class = special]Paul

Which tablemanager processes and displays as;

<td class="special">Paul</td>

Then as above, you can add styles/ themeing etc, blah...
