Creating a file download list using a table
When I use <txp:file_download_list … wraptag=“ul” class=“filelist” > I get a nice “<ul class=“filelist”> tag.
If I change wraptag=“ul” to wraptab=“table” then it ignores the class and I just get <table>!
Is this expected behaviour and if so, does anyone have a simple way round it?
Thanks,
Doug.

It’s when you ask a simple question and get no responses that you start to think that maybe you’ve asked a REALLY stupid question and should check the FAQ… can’t see anything obvious though…

Re: Creating a file download list using a table
When I look at this piece of code in function file_download_list:
if ($wraptag == 'ul' or $wraptag == 'ol')
{
return doLabel($label, $labeltag).doWrap($out, $wraptag, $break, $class);
}the class is only added when using ul or ol. But it looks like you can easily add table yourself.

Thanks for the reply Els. What’s the reason for limiting the class to a wraptag of ul and ol though? Seems a bit restrictive for no real reason!

Sorry, I don’t know, you’ll need a developer to answer that one… Probably because it’s a list, and the only proper way to show a list is in list tags?

I’m guess it would be pointless to wait for a “<txp:file_download_table>” tag though! ;-)
I’ve modded the function’s code – now I just need to find a nice obvious place for my virtual post-it note so that I remember next time there’s a txp update.

A better solution would be to write this as a plugin or to submit a patch to the txp-dev mailinglist.

Now you’re going to make me read up on writing plugins and/or submitting patches! ;-)

Re: Creating a file download list using a table
I’ve a tag that I wrote to display download links in tabular form included with this plugin : download_stats it hasn’t been updated since TXP version g1.19 because there didn’t seem a purpose to do so, but it might give you a starting point.
