Hi All,
As this is my first forum post can I quickly say a huge thank you to all the contributors on here who have given up their time and effort, not only with the UDT project, but the whole DNN project and posting their great advice on these forums.
Two months ago I stumbled upon the DNN site being a complete novice web designer with little understanding of the Portal/CMS concept. A huge learning curve has taken place and I am now able to produce a professional looking site with modules to accomplish most tasks I need. This is truly amazing! so once again thank you all. Since I have spent the last two weeks using UDT can I extend those thanks to Sebastian, Stefan and the others here for this great module.
So on to my UDT display question.
I have created a table to store data from my site members and perform a few calculations on that data. This is a simplified version of what I have...
__________
user item a item b item c column a total column b total column c total
chris 1 4 7 6 15 24
john 2 5 8 6 15 24
paul 3 6 9 6 15 24
__________
Users add new row with data for items a, b and c and calculated field sums the column totals. I have paging setup and the calculations work fine across multiple pages.
This works perfectly but the layout leaves a lot to be desired.
I would like to achieve this...
__________
total a total b total c
6 15 24
name item a item b item c
chris 1 4 7
john 2 5 8
paul 3 6 9
x x x x
x x x x
x x x x
x x x x
x x x x
page 1 of x <prev next>
__________
i.e. a single row of the calculated totals presented static at the top of the page and staying there regardless of what page x of x I am displaying.
I initially though I could simply create another UDT instance in the container above but have it's calculations linked to the data of the table below but cannot figure out how to configure this - is this possible?
The other option I guess is a custom XSL layout but I have had little success in understanding the XSL posts. I definitely look forward to Stefans next XSL document which may make things a little clearer.
Hope this makes sense. If I am missing the obvious or have not found the previous post that answer this then my apologies.
Cheers,
Chris.
