New versions of TableField module for D6 and D7

Submitted by Kevin Hankens on Fri, 06/25/2010 - 06:40

I just got around to making some final commits and packaging two new versions of the TableField module. The D6 version backports the "import from CSV" functionality. The import was the most requested feature, so there ya go! You can now import any valid CSV file to any table. The D7 version adds a super convenient rebuild function using the #ajax features of the Forms API.

For those of you who haven't tried it, the TableField module lets you add tables to your nodes with a convenient input widget. In Drupal 7, you can add tables to any entity. Any help testing the new modules would be greatly appreciated!

Quite similar to Matrix Field module

Hi there!
This module seems quite similar to Matrix Field module (http://drupal.org/project/matrix)

What´s their difference?

Matrix Field lets you create

Matrix Field lets you create a fixed matrix of input widgets. You end up with the same table structure for every node. TableField lets you create different tables for every node, or multiple tables per node with distinct structures. The idea is to have a very generic input widget. More here.
