Footable - icons / theming #247

Closed donluz closed 10 years ago

I'm having difficulty in two areas; perhaps you can shed some light on these?

  1. The icon for expansion is some square looking thing, definitely not what your examples show. I have Awesome Fonts loading, but I'm not sure about the Glyphicons. I read where yours using "icon-fonts" and I'm not sure how to use those; I suppose that's what's missing? Is that part of either of the Foo files, JS or CSS?
  2. My table is not theming. I'm using Bootswatch for themes since Bootstrap only offers its default. I've switched between my BootSWATCH themes and STRAP default just to see if I can get working, but nothing changes theme-wise in the table; the header is always a light blue and the rows' background a light gray (which all looks good; it's just not applying the theme).

My understanding of BootSwatch is that it has just taken BootStrap and updated the settings to provide different "themes". Given that understanding (if correct) and the fact that I even tried just plain old Bootstrap (3.2), I must have missed some other step to make this work.

I would greatly appreciate any insight regarding these topics.

Thank you!

UPDATE: I have things working, but I had to use another solution since I never heard back anything in 6 days. Of course I understand those working on things which are not actually "freebies" to earn a living and don't have a lot of time to devote to supporting those using such freebies :-)

FYI - I think your approach to responsive tables exceeds that of ANY other. I've looked at them all! The next best thing of your approach is the (forgot name) one which allows you to use a drop-down list and select the active columns. Your approach beats that one hands-down; the others out there are just not practical for smaller devices as they show all the data all the time; yours shows selected columns and upon a click - it's all there.

Before I got to rambling... your work combined with the "dataTables-responsive" work make for a great solution. I never got the Footable to work properly with tabs; the tables simply wouldn't hide the columns without a screen refresh. This "dataTables-responsive" which basis his work on your Footable must have addressed that as it works great! Keep up the good work on your end and thank you!
