Hi Ed,
Looks like excellent work on table tag. I have a requirement where you may
be able to extend table tag to do this. Tell me if you are able to do this and
how long you think it would take.
1) I have a number of images that I want to display. 2) I will use a decorator
the display the image in each of the table cells. 3) The images are in order
and the natural order to look at them would be across and down. 4) I might want
to only display a particular number of rows per screen or I might only want to
display a particular number of images per screen and then choose to navigate by
rows or number of images. 5) If my image is a banner I might want to display
banner alone in a row in which case I would want the additional cells on the
current row being processed to be empty if the row isn't already empty (I
suppose this would be specified in the decorator). 6) I might want banner to
span a certain number of rows (I suppose this would be specified in the
decorator)
Proposed extensions:
If displaying one column in a List, rather than displaying the column
downwards.
1) I would like the ability to display the column across and down. So if you
define the number of columns as 3 (you would need a way to define this) the
table has the table would fill in as follows.
row 1 col 1, row 1 col 2, row 1 col 3,row 2 col 2 etc
2) There should be some way to do a skipped column depending on the data in the
row. For example:
table fills
row 1 col 1, row 1 col 2 and now you would usually fill in row 1 col 3 but
because of the data you are about to use or data in the previous column you
decide that you want to put data on the next row instead so you fill in row 2
col 1
3) There should be a way to define colspan depending on the data you are
inserting.
4) the "showing subsets", "auto paging", "sorting" etc should still work but
user should have the option of navigating by rows as well as items. So in
configuration you would say on a page you wanted to display a max of 5 rows you
might also say that you want to display a max of 20 items. The final display on
the page would be the number of rows if the number of items would cause more
rows than the max and it would be the number of items if you haven't exceeded
the row maximum but not more that the max number of items.
