feincms-simpletable 0.4.0

Table content type for feincms: copy-paste cells from spreadsheets to admin, get them displayed as html table on your website

feincms_simpletable is a feincms plugin that adds a new content type for tables. Just copy-paste your data from Calc or Office spreadsheet into SimpleTableContent in admin, and it will be automatically converted to html and rendered as such on your website

Current limitation: merged cells are not supported

Quick start

1. Add “feincms_simpletable” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'feincms_simpletable',
   )

2. If you intend to use it as feincms content type, register SimpleTableContent for your Page model (or any other Base-derived model) like this:

   from feincms_simpletable.models import SimpleTableContent
   # ...
   Page.create_content_type(SimpleTableContent)
   
   # tables will be rendered as
   # templates/content/feincms_simpletable/default.html

3. (optional) It is possible to define TYPE_CHOICES for SimpleTableContent if you want to render tables using different templates:

   from feincms_simpletable.models import SimpleTableContent
   # ...
   Page.create_content_type(SimpleTableContent, TYPE_CHOICES=(
           ('default', 'default template'),
           ('other', 'some other template'),
           # ... (other types)
       )
   )
   
   # tables will be rendered as either of these, depending on admin choice:
   # templates/content/feincms_simpletable/default.html
   # templates/content/feincms_simpletable/other.html
   # ...

4. If you want to add SimpleTable fields to your existing models, simply subclass it:

   class Product(Base, SimpleTable):
       # ...

5. Migrate your models

Usage

1. Add a SimpleTableContent to any feincms page in admin, then add data by copying it from your Calc or Excel spreadsheet into content field

2. Models inheriting from SimpleTable are editable just like any other django model
