  11  == Description ==
  12  
  13  WP-Table Reloaded enables you to create and manage tables in your WP's admin area. No HTML knowledge is needed. A comfortable backend allows to easily edit table data. Tables can contain any type of data and additional JavaScript libraries can be used to extend it with features like sorting, pagination, filtering, and more. You can include the tables into your posts, on your pages or in text widgets by using a shortcode or a template tag function. Tables can be imported and exported from/to CSV, XML and HTML.

  21  Dieses Plugin erlaubt die komfortable Verwaltung von Tabellen in WordPress. Dafür werden keine HTML-Kenntnisse benötigt. Die Daten werden in einer Eingabemaske eingegeben und mittels eines Shortcodes in Artikel, Seiten oder Text-Widgets eingebunden. Zusätzlich können einer Tabelle mit einer JavaScript-Bibliothek weitere Fähigkeiten, wie Sortieren, Paginierung und Filterung hinzugefügt werden.

  47  == Frequently Asked Questions ==
  48  
  49  = Can I use wp-Table and WP-Table Reloaded together? =
  50  
  51  Yes! You can have both wp-Table and WP-Table Reloaded installed in your WordPress! They will not interfere (as they are not using anything together). They are completely independent from each other.
  52  If WP-Table Reloaded finds the wp-Table database tables, it can import the found tables into it's own format, so that you can completely upgrade from wp-Table to WP-Table Reloaded.
  53  
  54  = Support? =
  55  
  56  If you find a bug or have a feature request, please don't hesitate to tell me about it.
  57  You would help a lot if you could add an issue ticket in the [issue tracker on Google Code](http://code.google.com/p/wp-table-reloaded/).
  58  Feature requests may also posted in the comments on the plugin website.
  59  
  60  For other help or support questions (especially with CSS), please use the [WordPress Support Forums](http://wordpress.org/support/). Please [open a new topic](http://wordpress.org/tags/wp-table-reloaded?forum_id=10#postform) there (with the tag "wp-table-reloaded") and email me a link to the thread (or post it as a comment on the plugin website). Thank you!
  61  You may also make feature requests using this method! Don't be shy!
  62  
  63  = Requirements? =
  64  
  65  In short: WordPress 2.8 or higher
  66  
  67  = Languages and Localization? =
  68  
  69  The plugin currently includes the following languages:
  70  Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, Finnish, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish.
  71  
  72  I'd really appreciate it, if you would translate the plugin into your language! Using Heiko Rabe's WordPress plugin [Codestyling Localization](http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en/) that really is as easy as pie. Just install the plugin, add your language, create the .po-file, translate the strings in the comfortable editor and create the .mo-file. It will automatically be saved in WP-Table Reloaded's plugin folder. If you send me the .mo- and .po-file, I will gladly include them into future plugin releases.
  73  There is also a .pot-file available to use in the "languages" subfolder.
  74  
  75  = Where can I get more information? =
  76  
  77  Please visit the [official plugin website](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/) for the latest information on this plugin.
  78  
  79  Die Webseite des Plugins ist auch [auf Deutsch](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-deutsch/) verfügbar.
  80  
  81  == Usage ==
  82  
  83  After installing the plugin, you can add, import, export, edit, copy, delete, ... tables via the "WP-Table Reloaded" screen which appears under the "Tools" section in your Admin menu.
  84  Everything should be self-explaining there.
  85  
  86  To show one of your tables in a post, on a page or in a text widget, just include the shortcode [table id=<the-id> /] to your post/page/text-widget, where <the-id&gt is the ID of your table (can be found on the left side of the "List tables" screen.)
  87  
  88  After that you might want to change the style of the table. You can do this by entering CSS commands into the "Custom CSS" textarea on the "Plugin Options" screen.
  89  You may also add certain features (like sorting, pagination, filtering, alternating row colors, row highlighting, print name and/or description, ...) by checking the appropriate options on the "Edit table" screen.
