Are there any maintainers for this module? Just wondering becoz I don't see any updates from the creators for a long time now. Are there other similar modules ?

Hi AvindSingh,

I'm the developer of Ajaxtable, and am very sorry that I haven't been able to plug in the time to roll in the patches from the community or port it to Drupal 6. There are a couple things keeping me from doing so:

1. Work has gotten crazy, lots of stuff to do, not a lot of time to do it in.
2. I've developed an alternative module, that takes a different approach to the same problem. It's basically Ajaxtable 2, but it's such a vastly different piece of code, that I've created a separate module for it. The module hasn't been released yet, as there's still a couple bugs to work out, but it's functional and I plan on releasing it in the next month or so. With the new module, all the configuration can be done via a configuration form, instead of in code.

If you (or anyone else for that matter) is interested in co-maintaining this module, I would be glad to open it up so we can keep this code a bit fresher.

Thanks!
Chris

Cool! Good to know that Ajaxtable 2 is in the builds. At the same time a little worried if there are any serious issues with Ajaxtable1.
It would help the community if you let us know what limitations of A1 will be addressed in A2.

I've just started evaluating this module and also a little new to Drupal and the code maintenance processes. But soon I should be able to help in maintnance of this module.

Thanks!
Arvind

I am interested in ajaxtable2 also; the only problems I have had with ajaxtable were
- the impossibility to pass parameters to a table, which is solved
- incompatiblity with queries using GROUP BY, also solved
- impossible to export as CSV a table, which should be easy to implement.

If ajaxtable2 does the above and more things it is welcome and I will help as much as I can to it (despite I go on holidays in one week to a non internet place).

I have just corrected some more problems when using queries with GROUP BY; now when sorting columns with ALIAS it uses the alias

I can't afford to spend lots of time to develop ajaxtable further, but I use it in one of my projects and I would like the bugs I corrected and minor improvements I have done make their way to the "oficial" release in order others benefit of them. Should I send them to you or you make me a co-mantainer? I have never used CVS and don't want to mess things.

I don't understand your question, I thought when using ajaxtable you define your SQL as you want, using joins, groups, etc.... There were just some minor problems using search, but they should be corrected in my version at #278523: passing parameters to a table; but I don't use drupal6 so I don't know if they will help you.
Otherwise, in short I will be starting a new project using drupal6 and maybe your port of ajaxtables is useful to me, could you post it?
