Automatically Update HTML Table

Permalink
Is there a way to update a HTML table remotely?

On the site I am working on, I need to display a list of audio on the front page. Since my clients are clueless about HTML, I am wondering if there is a way to put the files on the server and then include a file that will tell it what to put in the table cells?

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance!!

You could add the audio files to a particular file set within Document Manager and then use the Document Library add-on to display those files within a sortable and searchable table:

Great idea, but a little painful for the pocket.

Would either:

Or:

Do what you are wanting to achieve?

There is a free 'list files from set' addon that is easy to write templates for. As examples, I have some image file templates for it in the marketplace (also free).

That would be perfect, if I could tell it what to put in the columns. I am trying to set this up so that a person who doesn't know anything about HTML can upload the files painlessly. If there was a way to read the contents of a .txt or .xml file, then it could read the file and place each new line into separate cells of the table. If that is not possible or is too difficult to set up, then I am open to other options.
