Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module adds a field formatter for a no-more tables approach to field collections. This is heavily, heavily based on the work by Tim Plunkett in field_collection_table.

This field formatter is based on a nested field collection approach to modeling table data, which is described here:
http://fourkitchens.com/blog/article/responsive-tables-field-collections-and-field-formatters

Essentially a field collection which represents a table with two text fields for variable headers and a nested field collection inside of that field collection that represents rows.

Field Group {
  Field Collection for Table (1 or more / set to 1 initially) {
  Header 1  - text field (provided with default heading values)
  Header 2 - text field (provided with default heading values)
    Field Collection for Table Data (1 or more / set to 1 initially) {
      Row data 1 - text long (w/ WYSIWYG editing)
      Row data 2 - text long (w/ WYSIWYG editing)
    }
  }
}

This approach is further described in a subsequent blog post that will be published on 9/16/2013.

Right now the theming of the admin set up of this is not super great, will work on improving this soon.
