Category: documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Will Glass-Husain (wglass) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: add example of <display:column> with body to tutorial Initial Comment: Hi, I've been noticing that new users again and again (me too, when I started) have a question like: http://www.mail-archive.com/displaytag-user% 40lists.sourceforge.net/msg01625.html *** New to using the display taglib and am stumped by this on. Is there anyway to put more than one data column in a single table column? In my case, I'm trying to output names. The names are stored as firstname, middlename, and lastname; each individual columns in the database table. I'd like to output them like "lastname, firstname middlename" all in the same column. *** Usually there's at least one wrong or overly complicated answer (use a new property, use a Decorator) before the optimal answer: use <display:column> with a body. This tells me there's a lot of users out there who never learned this. I suggest an example of this be added VERY PROMINENTLY to the website. Maybe in the tutorial page under basic usage. (It is pretty basic - I use it all the time). http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/tut_basic.html <display:column title="name" > <c:out value="${row.first_name}"/> <c:out value="${row.last_name}"/> </display:column> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=536616&aid=1015480&group_id=73068 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ displaytag-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/displaytag-devel
