Szaki Table (Joomla Extension)
Szaki Table is a Joomla Extension that allows sorting a table by any column header.
I used it on a client’s site to make a list of educational opportunities sortable by date, location, type. All was well until we added a column for cost and entered cost in US Dollars using the $ sign.
The entire table was replicated in the cell with the $!
Fortunately one only needs to “escape” the $ by including before the guilty character.
In researching the extension’s website to see if this had been covered already, I discovered that the extension has many more possibilities — but the English version of the developer’s site is hard to decipher. I’ll consider this for future projects if a client needs to have interactive data tables. I think you’re supposed to be able to get the table code from pasting in a csv (with semi-colons rather than commas)! That’s worth investigating!
