    Why are you developing Content Display Modules only?

    Posted 14 years 1 week ago
    • Hi, I know Rockettheme is a template club - as suggested by its name.

      However, that approach assumes we ( users) create content somehow and your ( Rockettheme) extensions are developed to display it.

      For example, you have developed great content display options in your demo contents ( like rt-grid ) and if somehow I knew how they work, I could use them in my content - they would help me a lot.

      If you had a decent "charts for content" component, I would use it. I know there are third party extensions like Artio Fusion Charts - but come on, how useful is a component that does not allow inserting new rows at a specific place that I want to insert it ? How useful is a component that does not have "Copy Chart" functionality ?

      I have tried to use RokFeatureTable to display it in an article and "Modules Anywhere" could not handle it. I read the forum and it suggests to create a new module position and then insert it using "loadmodule"... If I want to use it in a lot of articles, this is absurd.

      So, I have a very good looking component that has a great functionality but it only works as a module and I can not use it. So, all I can do is to use HTML tables. Or a Tab component.

      If Rockettheme would find a way to use their moduel components in content without those hassle, it would be really great.

      Regards,

    • Hello,
      I think the same about the RokFeatureTable.
      I've also used html tables, simply taking advantage of available styles in the template, so I have obtained an acceptable look
       
<table>
<thead>
<tr class="contentbox5">
<!-- Begin Row head -->
...
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="contentbox4">
...
</tr>
<tr class="contentbox5">
...
</tr>
<tr class="contentbox4">
...
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr class="contentbox6">
...
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
