Putting out a DB table....the easy way?

hi there,

I usually build up my tables manually by looping through a set of results inside a snippet and return the table. Is there an easier way of doing this using a template variable? I see a datagrid type and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Justin.

Not 100% positive about this since I’ve never used it, but I believe you can use a TV with @SELECT binding in the input, and give it an output widget of datagrid.

Datagrid output widgets do work, but are tricky to get them working properly. I think I posted my eventual success using an @FILE binding on the forums about 8 or so months ago.

Thanks guys......after trawling the posts...its really quite easy....and documented

You just @SELECT the table
and type in the column names....thats all there was to it!!!!

Once again modx scores highly in my "ease of use" CMS list!!
Excellent work on the latest version....
