thead and tbody needed do make table sortable/filterable

konrad

Hi,

I would like to use the jquery plugin DataTables (http://www.datatables.net/index) to make tables filter- and sortable in DokuWiki. Not sure if it will be a proper plugin or just a small hack. I figured out that tables rendered by DokuWiki don't have a thead and a tbody which are needed to get DataTables running. Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this easy and quickly? Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Konrad

DokuWiki doesn't know where your table head is. Consider this table:

| cell | cell | cell |
| cell ^ cell ^ cell |
| cell | cell | cell |

It's a valid table, but defining the table head is impossible.

I'd say in the above example that there's no THEAD, but that most tables start with a row of headers, and that when a table does so we could assume that this should be the THEAD, and the rest would be the TBODY. Maybe?

There is a Dokuwiki plugin that sorts tables by headers: https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:sortablejs

That's not entirely what you need but it may be a start.

Unfortunately it is not working with Weatherwax.

I've written to the plugin author and asked if he could update.

The sortablejs plugin has been updated to work with weatherwax.

Thanks go to Otto Vanio Vanio.
