Introduction

This mambot/plugin is based upon modified version of the following scripts:

SoftComplex's Tigra Tables
HTML Table Filter Generator v1.6* By Max Guglielmi (mguglielmi.free.fr/scripts/TableFilter/?l=en )
Standardista Table Sorting (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?id=162528 )

* The new Joomla 1.5 Native version uses v1.9 of the Table Filter generator script

The original Tigra Tables JavaScript component applys nice visual effects to HTML tables on the client-side making them easier to read, it has been modified to work with a table filter (HTML Table Filter Generator) and table sorter (Standardista Table Sorting) to provide a powerful yet relatively easy to use mambot script to provide useful features to tables.

Nicer Tables Features:

• alternating rows colors, either by fixed colour or CSS
• onmouseover row effect, either by fixed colour or CSS
• easy row (un)marking with mouse click, either by fixed colour or CSS
• all colors configurable either by colour (not Joomla 1.5 native) or CSS
• table header and footer offsets configurable **
• multiple independent tables configurations per page
• only a minute to set up
• general or per table settings
• relatively fast, light and robust

** Footers cannot be used when sorting is required, filtering will remove the footer on selection.
