I emailed you a detailed response.

> [...] command(s) I need to get WP-Table Reloaded tables to look like those from wp-Table.

Just download the Example File 2 from http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/#usage
and copy the contents into the textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen (or append it to your theme’s style.css).
Your tables should then look like the ones created by wp-Table.

Best wishes,
Tobias

For example please see this URL:

http://www.cvcbike.org/?page_id=963

Here the table “CVC rides from Thousand Oaks” is done with wp-Table, while “CVC rides from Westlake Village” is done with WP-Table Reloaded.

I see at least these differences but do not know how to control them in WP-Table Reloaded:

1. Column width, in pixels
2. Boldface for header row
3. Different alignment for individual cells (column 1 = centered; column 2 = flush left)
4. Font size
5. Alternating light/dark background in rows, even though this is enabled (I recognize the docs say this still must be coded in CSS, but don’t know what to code)
6. Description below instead of above table (above is preferable in this case)

I’m sure this is all easy for a CSS wizard but I’m just a beginner. Thanks in advance for pointers on proper WP-Table Reloaded table styling.

thanks for your question – and for searching if a solution existed!

The error you are getting is caused by a missing library in the PHP installation on your server, the “iconv” library. Although the function “iconv” is usually included in PHP 4 and 5 (see http://www.php.net/iconv), it is not installed on your host. Webhosters sometimes don’t install it (for reasons I don’t know).

To solve the problem, please ask you hosting provider to add the “iconv” library to the PHP on your server. Then everything should work fine.

Best wishes!

What was the hosting problem Jimmy referred to? I’m getting this same error when trying to import a table using CSV:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function iconv() in /usr/home/cvc/www.cvcbike.org/wp-content/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/php/parsecsv.class.php on line 553

Thanks!

the best would be if you email me your idea and describe it as precisely as possible.
I don’t really have time to chat, because I’m busy with university.

Thanks!

I was having problems adding tables to my WordPress sites until I came across your plugin. Fantastic mate!!! Just what I needed. I have a plugin idea I would like your feedback on. Can you email me so we can chat?

thanks for your comment.
Regarding your problems:
1. This is most probably an issue with the CSV files. Please email me some sample files that are not imported correctly.
2. I don’t really understand what you mean, can you provide more information or maybe screenshots on this?
3. Also hard to tell from here. I assume there is some problem with the URLs.

I’ve hit on some problems, in order of priority:
- Some tables are parsed correctly from CSV into WP-Table Reloaded. Most of them are not. In both cases I haven’t changed the list separator (it is “;”). I don’t know why this happens. Even more, if I change a field in a CSV that is correctly parsed, it will most likely be parsed incorrectly the next time.

- When a add and fill a blank table, I can change name and decription and table contents. But when I do an upload in XML, CSV or through the table form, I can’t change anything.

- When I hit either one of the buttons “Update Changes”, “Save and Go Back” or “Cancel”, I am always directed to the list tables menu.

Any ideas? Plugin conflicts?

Cheers,

Friso.
