I have downloaded Powertable and like most of what I see.
What I like:
* The ability to use more datasources than just a table and a single-column
query.
* The layout which is more readable and understandable than jqgrid from
plugin_wiki
I have certain questions and concerns though:
* Is there documentation somewhere explaining the options? I could only see
the demo-code. Some of the links on the page referring to the API does not
work.
* I have tested it this morning on a table with more just over 8200 entries
and it took 70-90 seconds on Firefox and 30-35 secondes no Chrome to reload
the page from localhost. That is not usable. Plugin_wiki's jqgrid does
this in less than a second.
It seems that it loads the whole table and does not make use of paging
while executing the query.
I have used the following settings:
powerTable = plugins.powerTable
powerTable.dtfeatures['sScrollY'] = '338'
powerTable.dtfeatures['sScrollX'] = '100%'
#powerTable.virtualfields = Virtual()
powerTable.headers = 'fieldname:capitalize'
powerTable.showkeycolumn = True
powerTable.dtfeatures['bJQueryUI'] = request.vars.get('jqueryui',True)
powerTable.uitheme = request.vars.get('theme','redmond')#'smoothness' /
'redmond' /'cupertino'
powerTable.dtfeatures['sPaginationType'] =
request.vars.get('pager','scrolling') # two_button scrolling
powerTable.datasource = db.joernaal
