An excellent module which provide dynamically added fields (CCK). I'd like to suggest the following features:

  • Ability to lock the number of rows or columns. For example, I know that my table will have 3 columns, and I don't want the user to be able to change it
  • Ability to lock the default title row. For example, I know my table will have the column headings (a) First name (b) Last name (c) Age, and I don't want users to be able to change it.
  • Instead of being able to enter the number of columns/rows, I'd like to be able to optionally display:
    • Add column; Remove column
    • Add row; Remove row
  • Ability to set the minimum and maximum number of columns/rows.
  • Ability to be able to require the number of rows/columns that have information.
  • Ability to define text and labels:
    • "The first row will appear as the table header."
    • "How many Columns:" / rows
    • "Rebuild table"
    • Add column/row; Remove column/row

Thanks. I already use that.

However, it would be nice to be able to configure all other options e.g.
- Hide "Import from CSV"
- Lock ability to edit header

etc

Try my patch at http://drupal.org/node/764788#comment-3817136; it makes the CSV upload a per-field option.

It would be nice to be able to lock certain rows and columns also.

I've done some further hacking on making specific cells readonly, and support for simplistic formula.

Simplistic formula sounds like an exciting addition. Nice one.

I have a use case (a D7 contrib module) that Tablefield might be able to solve.
The formula code sounds a bit overcomplicated to my use case, what should be the best is probably:

In field settings, provide an option to lock the table. This means no changing of numbers of rows / columns, and no changing of cells which are already filled in.

An additional option might be to allow the table to be unlocked for certain roles (a permission).

EDIT: Posted a patch that allows default values to be locked in D7 (the second part of my idea above), at #1051070: Lock default values from editing on node add/edit

Thanks for all of the thoughts. I'm going to commit the patch from bojanz which will take care of setting static cells: #1051070: Lock default values from editing on node add/edit

I'll try to look into the code to restrict rebuilds based on perms.

Also, thanks for being patient with the new features - got a new baby and a very fulltime job, so that slows things down :)
