Hello, how to make an Article table ?
The table must autofill articles and allow some sort of filtering, pagination etc.

Maybe you can use one of these extensions?

None of these can read files in the WYSIWYG web builder menu tree can they? Just looking for a way to preset my website articles (pages) in form of table like screenshot.

The "Bootstrap File Listing" extension can list files in a folder.

Yes you are correct, but I'm looking to provide number column, article subject.
Number of clicks is optional.

Also there is News feed ticker extension, I need something like it, but to be able to format data as my screenshot.

In that case, you will need to implement a custom script.

There is no even paid extension? :shock:
Most CMS sites have a way to present data in table. Does WYSIWYG web builder not have this feature?

Pages can only be presented in menu ? (would be overkill as long titles would not work here)
Pages can be only manually put into table with no pagination, clicks counts etc. 1998 style?

This functionality has never been requested before so that is why it does not exist.
Note that it is impossible to provide a standard solution everything that anyone can think of.

Well I hope this get done, along with FAQ table like extension as this is too very needed for any website. I don't imagine users filling tables by hand instead of using extension to do all the sorting, filtering etc.

As you know, you can post suggestions in the 'Suggestions' section of this forum.
Then, if more users find it useful I will consider it for future development.

Not exactly like your current website but an idea. I use this for one of my customers to list available training documents. It lists all the files in a folder on the server. There is a back-end admin page where they can upload new articles when they have them. I am using the Bootstrap File Listing extension.

I also thought about a commercial Knowledge Base script I have used. It would give you segmenting by category, search for documents, a preview of the article, and a link to the article. You could also use the Glossary portion to provide definitions of key terms for your audience. The script embeds nicely into a Wizzy page using an HTML object. This company has many handy scripts that are very affordable. This one is $19 single use or $29 developers version (I always license the developer's version) There is a full functioning demo you can play with to see if it would benefit your site.

Seems to complicated to for a simple create table task :roll:

The Bootstrap File listing is a Wizzy Extension and can be found:

https://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/bootstrapfilelisting.html

The PHPJabbers was offered as an option that could provide what you were asking for plus more. It is not complicated to setup and the price is cheap.

You referenced before that most CMS systems do (whatever it is you want). Wizzy is not a CMS site tool. I am curious, having read your numerous post and criticism, that this or that is not a part of Wizzy and should be added. You built your site with Joomla, a well-respected CMS tool; why don't you just stick with Joomla since it appears to have most of what you need?

Most of the sites I build, as well as most other developers here, are more static in nature and don't require a CMS. When the need arises, I have used the editable content tool provided with Wizzy or used several of the PHPJabbers scripts. Works well for my clients.

Wishing you the best and hope you find the tool that really suits your requirements.
