I came accross this same problem 2 wks or so ago and decided I coun't
live without that...! So I created my own helper, extending HtmlHelper
and implemented the function as follow;
[code location="my custom/extended helper"]
/**
* Returns a row of formatted and named TABLE headers.
*
* @param array $names Array of tablenames - if a tablename is an
array, index 1 should contain th options.
* @param array $trOptions HTML options for TR elements.
* @param array $thOptions HTML options for TH elements.
* @param boolean $return Wheter this method should return a value
* @return string
*/
function tableHeaders($names, $trOptions = null, $thOptions = null,
$return = false) {
$out = array();
foreach($names as $arg) {
if (is_array($arg) && isset($arg[0]) && isset($arg[1])) { // the 2x
isset() are pretty useless really... but well for the sake of
robustness!
$out[] = sprintf($this->tags['tableheader'],
$this->parseHtmlOptions(array_merge($thOptions,$arg[1])), $arg[0]);
} else {
$out[] = sprintf($this->tags['tableheader'],
$this->parseHtmlOptions($thOptions), $arg);
}
}
$data = sprintf($this->tags['tablerow'],
$this->parseHtmlOptions($trOptions), join(' ', $out));
return $this->output($data, $return);
}
[/code]
then, I use it like this;
[code location="any view"]
$th = array (
array($pagination->sortBy('weight','Order'),
array('width'=>'60px')),
$pagination->sortBy('name'),
array($pagination->sortBy('status'), array('width'=>'150px')),
array('Actions', array('class' => 'actions')),
);
$eoHtml->tableHeaders($th);
//
// note that you could still provide 'global' th options like this;
// $eoHtml->tableHeaders($th,null,array('class'=>'whatever'));
///
[/code]
I don't quite like the fact that names are linked with options, but I
really wanted to keep the same signature... plus, it makes a bit of
sense to link a specific header name with it's option(s)!
so.. the above code will generate a 4 column table headers,
column 1 is labeled Order, is sortable (because of the
$pagination->sortBy()), and has a fixed width of 60px;
column 2 is labeled Name, and is sortable - no other options (the
defautl css still applies)
column 3 is labeled Status, is sortable (...) and has a fixed width of
150px;
and finally
column 4 is labeled Actions, and will be generated a class="actions"
attribute.
Hope this helps...
Seb.
