Generate HTML Table (pipe)?

Hi all

The pipe sounds “Generate HTML Table” sounds like it could help me, but I’m not exactly sure what it does.

Could anyone help me underastand?

Does it create a new DB table?

TIA

I am not an expert on this Pipe, but I looked at it.

It does not create a new DB Table. Thats easy in Tadabase anyway.

What is does is turn a Tadabase table into an HTML table, with some styling. And it allows that HTML table (and data) to be stored in a tadabase field.

Why would you need this? Its a good question, as you can acheive the same with a Table page in Tadabase. Some users may be able to explain better than me. But I imagine that someone who wants to easily integrate Tadabase data into an external web site, this is one method to automatically create the HTML.

Thanks for the reply.

Now it definitely sounds like something I can use!

So I take it the HTML table is not editable?

I’ve been searching for a way to save all details page content to a DB table. By this I mean metadata such as headings and text, and also table records.

This way I have a permanent record that wont change when the details page changes.

I’ll update here if I figure something out with it!

Hi @tim.young

Could you possibly steer me in the right direction on this Pipe?

Thanks

@biota1 it was a pleasure speaking with you today and I believe we went over this on the call.

If anyone else is struggling to understand how to use this pipe, let me know and we’ll be sure to address it.

Thanks a lot for your time, @moe. This was definitely a big help!
