Description

This function inserts a table. The table data must defined using the "table_rows" parameter. Use the "set-block" template function to specify the rows and the cells. The rows and cells are defined the same way as rows and cells are defined in HTML. Note that nested tables are not supported.

The "showLines" parameter specifies the drawing style of the table, it must be one of the following numbers:

  • 0 - Don't draw lines at all.
  • 1 - Draw only the inner lines.
  • 2 - Draw all the lines.

The "firstRowTitle" expects an boolean value. This parameter defines whether the first row in the table, should be used for column descriptions. With the "titleCellCMYK" and "titleTextCMYK" parameters the color of the cell-background and the text of the column titles can be controlled. The title font size can be changed with the "titleFontSize" parameter.

For the rest of the cells can the background and text color be changed with the "cellCMYK" and "textCMYK".

The size of the table and the space between the columns and rows is defined with the "rowGap", "colGap", "cellPadding", and "width" parameters.

The parameter "repeatTableHeader" defines whether the title should be repeated on each new page, if the table is stretched over multiple pages.

Comments

  • An example?

    Can you add an example of usage? I find it unclear how to pass the table_rows parameter.
  • Example?

    I`d likt to back Massimiliano Bariola`s request for an example of usage here. How to set up a PDF-based table is not obvious based on this documentation alone.
    • Re: Example?

      Take a look at design/standard/templates/content/datatype/pdf/ezmatrix.tpl for an example.
