    Hi, I'm new to modx and so far I love it.
    However I'm on a project where I would like the client to be able to manager the contents of a table on a page. The client does not understand html and it has to be fool proof.

    Hence I thought the best way to do this would be to create a dynamically configurable Grid TV input type that I can configure when creating the TV.

    Now I'm not sure on how to go about this. I saw the samples in the documentation, how ever I need a little more guidance to get this done.

    Can anybody help?

    Thanks.

          Hi Bruno,

          Thanks again, the TV is working great for my purposes.
          However there is one minor drawback:

          The site I'm creating is in german and I need to be able to use Umlaute (ä, ü, ö, etc) and I can't get them to show properly, either they are UTF encoded or the HTML entities are neglected.

          Could this be a feature that goes into your next release?

          Best,
          Matt

            Hi Matt,

            look for parts like this in fields.php and migx.php and change them:

            $col['header'] = htmlentities($column['header'], ENT_QUOTES);


            ->

            $col['header'] = htmlentities($column['header'], ENT_QUOTES, $modx->getOption('modx_charset'));
