Trouble with tables

    Since it’s my first post – hello everybody! 🙂

    Currently I’m working on a small project – intranet system for the bank I’m working for. Actually it’s quite simple – it’s more like a blog. Unfortunatelly – i’ve got a small problem with the interest rates table, that i’m working with (I’ll have to do the same tables for a few more things). The whole table will be in a sidebar.

    Here’s the previev:

    Where “stopy procentowe” = interest rates, 3.03.2011 – date of the last actualization, and the rest is a content. “WIBOR na dzien” – input field that shows the interest dates for a specific date.

    How to make such a table? I know that it can be quite simple, but I have no knowledge on this subject.

    I’ll be very grateful for helping me on this matter.

    Hope for some responses,

    Mike

    does it even need to be a table?

    looks like you could do that with floating list items in an unordered list quite easily..

    i personally hate coding tables.. so i fire up dreamweaver.. go to design view.. insert->table.. fill in your details and boom your done.. copy and paste back into wordpress..

    Here is one that i made for you..

    <table width="446" border="0">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">Column1 Header</th>
    <th scope="col">Column2 Header</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

    Thanks man, but as I told you – i’m just a beginner… i understand, that i need to put the code into my sidebar code, but how to get data from specified date?

    it sounds like your are trying to create a custom widget.. something i would say definitely needs to happen in the raw code rather than through the dashboard..

    where is the data being pulled from? an online resource? posts? if it is somewhere other than data that is on your own WP installation you are going to need to pipe the information in.. either via json, rss, xml or ajax..

    i know i just threw a lot of jargon at you 😛 but what you are attempting to do isnt really in the realm of ‘beginner’ unless you can find a plugin someone else has created..

    Nah – i know the jargon from the old times ;P

    my idea was: insert the data as posts in the WP, where the title woulde be like “WIBOR 10.10.2010”, then post the data as simple lines and put the lines into the table (or into div), and simply ad a input box to show the post from specific date. Wouldn’t that be easier than creating a plugin or a widget?

    much easier.. however isnt very dynamic.. this means that in order to update your interest rates someone has to manually go through and change all the data.. but it is much easier…

    adding an input box to get posts from specific dates isnt too hard..

    have a look at

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts

    and

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query

    to help you with being able to select posts from certain dates..

    Ok, thank You – i’ll take a look

    And by the way – in my bank, in order to prevent any data-stealing and stuff like that, computers are connected through the lan, and that’s why it has to be updated manually, there is no possibility to make it automatically 🙂

    I’ll be working on that since monday, so I’ll be using Codex a lot 🙂
