Table content into a list?

  • Hi,

    First off – I found this plugin very useful and it solves a lot of issued when it comes to formatting data, so thanks to the developer!

    I recently came across a problem where I need to export the data inside a particular table and create a list (ie:<ul>) in order to use it in my theme as scrolling text with jQuery (kind of like a news ticker).

    Initially I tried to pull the table’s data from the DB – but i don’t know how to extract the data since it’s stored in a custom format… Then I tried modifying the export html feature to export to an unordered list instead of a table – it works, except that I want to only show two specific columns in this list and the heading of the table must not be included. Additionally, I need this to work outside of the export.class.php file… Any ideas?

    Thank you,
    Ian

    Hi Ian,

    thanks for your question.

    Unfortunately, there’s no really easy way to achieve this, as the plugin was designed for tables.

    Your best chances should be to write a small plugin that filters the table output (which contains the table HTML code) and replaces the markup with that of a list.
    The best filter for this is probably wp_table_reloaded_output_table_id-'.$table_id in the render.class.php file.

    Regards,
    Tobias
