Re: Joomla! developer with an interest in Scottish and/or glass history?

I should have said content category instead of folder. I split most books into 20 to 50 pages sections dependant on content, keeping each chunk to around 50k of html. In this particular case few others provide content. Using the split section of read more is irrelevant as it is all research material...

Re: Joomla! developer with an interest in Scottish and/or glass history?

Difficult to say at the moment but several thousand over about 5 years, with most in multiple categories. All will link to either Joomla content or to a folder with sections of books.

Re: Joomla! developer with an interest in Scottish and/or glass history?

A new extension that seems to be good for that particular function is Joomsuite Content.

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/

Unfortunately 1.5 only and I cannot upgrade yet, have to wait for my other extensions to be proven in 1.5

Re: Joomla! developer with an interest in Scottish and/or glass history?

Thank you. Looks reasonably promising on first trial, although I will have see when I have added a few hundred categories as managing how the categories display is a bit limited (Cannot see how collapse so it always opens with all categories...) If it is that simple to do I wonder why no-one has mad...

Re: Need help to make templates for an AIDS and TBC education project

Going for converting a design to a template is a lot of work and if you can pay for it you would probably best going to a commercial organisation as it will need to be upgraded as Joomla goes. But there are thousands of templates out there and many of those will be supported through upgrades to Joom...

Re: Table to database

OK, I assumed you were the developer. No my problem is displaying the table itself: My original data was built as a single html table but managing this is tough now, when it gets to thousands of entries... murder and it shows  in a wrapper HERE So I installed the database and put in a few trial...

Re: Table to database

That appears to be a formatting tool for content created in another editor whereas this thread is about a table that the users defines fields and can then enter data, a simple version of Access but with no means to format the output. Or am I misunderstanding the discussion on that extension? If your...

Re: Table to database

Did any of you get anywhere with this. A big problem is that it puts all the fields on top of each other and url's in a field do not work.

I am surprised that this is the only user controlled database extension on Joomla, presumably they are difficult to develop.

Re: Table to database

Had contact with the Table Manager author and am now trying out the 'Unstable'  version, which seems to work at basic level. But I am a bit nervous of putting a lot of data in, on the other hand, the data is at least in a file instead of a document. But I am still open to any other suggestions....

Table to database

Hi, I currently have an HTML table displayed in a wrapper, it is too big (soon will be ten times the present size)  to be a single item of content and cannot be split as it will grow dynamically... I tried the Table Manager extension but that specifies joomla 1.0.5 and has SQL errors in 1.0.11....
