Customize display columns?

  • Hello,

    This is a terrific plugin, I just have one simple question that hopefully is a simple answer.

    I am using tablepress as the plugin for my tables and placing .footable into the css. Now when doing this, the settings for footable carry over to each table. If I have a table that needs to display say 5 columns instead of 3 which is what I have in the footable settings, can I override that one specific table for mobile and desktop views?

    Thank you for your help!

  • Hi,

    you could maybe experiment with using multiple CSS classes here, like

    .footable.tablepress-id-123 ... {

    at the beginning of the CSS selector.

    Ok I think that would be a good start. I am not the greatest with this stuff so any more explanation or an outline would help. I am also assuming I could override the master settings for breakpoints to just display say 3 columns for a larger breakpoint (one that is not achievable) instead of 4 columns which is what the setting have?

    Any additional thoughts?

    Hi,

    sorry, I’m not familiar with those CSS breakpoints and their settings, so I can’t really help with that ??

    Hey Tobias,

    In regards to the above comments… I am using tablepress which is your creation, I didn’t know footable was also you??

    I know that in the above you mention trying to use
    .footable.tablepress-id-123 … {

    the 123 would be the table number that I am wanting to customize, however what would the rest be referring to … {

    This is where I get a bit confused.

    Also would this go into the plugin options portion of tablepress??

    Hi,

    no, I’m not the developer of FooTable ?? One table plugin is enough for me ?? I just happened to read your post, as it’s related.

    Yes, the 123 would be the ID of the TablePress table in question.

    The rest is the remaining part of CSS that you want to use, e.g. something from the TablePress FAQ examples. With my code, I just wanted to show how you could extend the CSS to also recognize that .footable class that you added.

    Regards,
    Tobias
