Heyho,
maybe I am missing something, but I can't get it working on a reliable basis.
I have an event list in a table. I want to add all the data by copy & paste or a way to "import" into the multi tv fields.
It is basically working if I use "vertical" display of multiTV. But since there are so many fields I would like to create a better overview for the user. The "horizontal" format breaks visually with too many fields and therefore does not fit. The "datatable" format looks quite nice for this purpose:
But here the "Paste Table Data" link/popup is broken and probably not working in general for the datatable format.
If I use the "vertical" display format for multiTV, there is another small problem, besides the visually endless list and annoying mouse dragging to put the events in order.
I could export my table as .csv, but I have texts as data that contain commas and semicolons. I can change the csv separator in the tv config file, but most table export tools only allow some fixed separators (comma, semicolon, space, tab) and my clients are usually no techies, so it's hard to explain.
Copy & paste directly out of the tables in the office tools seem to be wonky, so this is no option either.
So I have the feeling that I'm at a dead end here, at least for my limited understanding of Evo and PHP ;-)
- Is there an easy way to import data into multiTV fields (or maybe into documents) that I don't see?
- The richtext theme setting is not working for my field in the datatable popup form, If I use the "vertical" format it works. Is my way to configure the theme incorrect?
desc' => array(
'caption' => 'Description',
'type' => 'richtext',
'theme' => 'mini' // this breaks it
),
Not working for datatable popup form (but for other fields/tvs), what is a bit sad.
- Is there a way to export the multiTV fields in the manager?
I really want to push my use of MODX Evo to the next level, but I need to learn these day-to-day basics to use it more frequently for my clients.
