User fillable table

Permalink
Often I need to have a table with one or two columns where the user fills in a field or two. Is there a block where this can be done.

Thank you,

Todd

Hi rtcary,

Are you looking to create a table with predefined column header labels?

For general table creation, the rich text editor includes a table tool. The CKEditor table tool is full featured.

There are two table add-ons you can try:

What I really could use is where a user can fill in empty cells, let's say in one of the columns. The organization that has the website is a Rotary Club (www.greaterbendrotary.org) and there are times when we need to have volunteers signup for different time slots -- more than what can be done with a Form block.

Would this be for a members only page?

Do you use these type of multiple person signups on a regular basis? Is the number of volunteers per time slot fixed?

I am trying to think of what type of flexibility you would need and possible approaches.

This is a good example that was just posted:

Actually, it should be restricted to Member Only, however the site is new and no one is used to it yet plus a Club of older folks like me (thought I had retired from software design a LONG time ago).

If you are using concrete5 version 8, I think you could use the Form block and the Express Entry List block.

The easiest way might be to add a Content block listing how many volunteers you need for each time slot. You would use a Form block (it creates an Express Data Object and each submission is an entry) where people could sign up and select their time slot. On the same page with the Content block and Form block, you could add an Express Entry List block that lists all signed up volunteers. The list would include their name and time slot.

The above approach would be manual, and people would need to look through the list to see which time slots were filled. You could add Express Entry List custom templates to color code and group volunteers by time slot and create a tally of volunteers per time slot.

You definitely gave me some tools to look at -- new to my tool list.

Many thanks!
