I have created a Discourse component to wrap native Discourse tables with some smarts via the datatables.net library. By wrapping your table with , you will automatically get a search box and sort icons.
You can pass native lib arguments by putting dt in front of their name like I’ve demonstrated with paging (Discourse strips namespacing via “-” or other special char). I’ve also written a quick column filter as well you can enable via filters=true.
I like it. I think I prefer the second table, where you can filter for the results of the columns per se. But would this modify ALL the tables?
While we’re talking, I think there should be one main page, accessible from the top bar that is a visual guide to all the sections we have. I saw you were creating an index of the howto page… I guess that’s kind of a start, although I think it should maybe be visual? Something where everything fits above the fold? I’ll come up w/ something if no one else has any cool ideas.
