Hi devs, I’ve noticed that users often try to make simple tables filterable/sortable. And LT are too complex for simple tables.
Actually we do implement the feature already in xwiki-platform (tablefilterNsort.js.js + icons) but we don’t make it easy for users to use it. Right now a user has to know the magic incantation. They can find the doc here: * http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiSyntax?syntax=2.1§ion=Tables&xpage=print * http://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Table+Sorter What I’d like to propose is to 1/ Include a new core macro in xwiki-platform that would allow to transformation a table into a sortable/filterable table, as it’s done by http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Make+All+Wiki+Tables+Sortable+Macro: {{table [sort="true|false" filter="true|false” oddEven=“true|false”}} |=heading1|=heading2 |cell1|cell2 {{/table}}} 2/ In the CKEditor UI when inserting a table, offer several checkboxes for Sortable, Filterable, OddEven and have the WYSIWYG editor insert this table macro when checked. My rationale for wanting to include it is because I consider this to be a basic use case (core use case) that would benefit from being by default in any flavor of XWiki. WDYT? Note that if we should not agree to have it by default then it also doesn’t make sense to have tablefilterNsort.js in xwiki-platform IMO.
