Table for plugin-list-category-post? [closed]

Question

I'm using the list-category-post plugin - is it possible to display the list of posts in a table?

I want to have a dynamic table showing all the posts in a category, so a user can search the table and select a column to sort by.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

This plugin does allow theming. Check out the "Other Notes" tab in the plugin page. As far as making it sortable, your path of least resistance is to use javascript. Here's a jQuery plugin that will do (almost) all the work for you. Hope that helps!

Cheers~

	Thank you for the response. So I can use the template theming to show the list in a table rather than a list? – mary hughes Jan 30 '12 at 18:43
	Yes, absolutely! As noted on that "Other notes" page, "You can use the included template as an example to start. It's in the plugin's template folder under the name default.php." – Matthew Boynes Jan 30 '12 at 18:55
	Thanks for your help. I've got the posts displaying in a table, do you have any tips on how to add a header row? I am completely new to php. I've copied the template code I am using below in another comment. – mary hughes Feb 5 '12 at 21:09
	//'starting' tag: $lcp_display_output .= '<table class="lcp_catlist">'; /*** Posts loop. */ foreach ($this->catlist->get_categories_posts() as $single): //Start a row for each post: $lcp_display_output .= "<tr><td>"; //Show the title and link to the post: $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_post_title($single, 'td'); $lcp_display_output .= "<td>"; //Custom fields: $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($this->params['customfield_display'], $single->ID); $lcp_display_output .= "</td>"; – mary hughes Feb 5 '12 at 21:10
