Change <td> width when using table class

[eluser]max123[/eluser]
I want to have different <td> widths for different columns. How can i do it using table class. That class allows only to give a fixed <td> width for all <td> s.

Thanx

well, you can always extend the table class with your own version that allows you to pass in a td width (or array of options), or you can hand-code your tables. Other than those two options, I personally won't be able to help you as I haven't used that class before.

flaky, the standard Table Class only permit one change for all <td>... the best option is make tables by hand or extend the original Class......

I have the same problem, and my solution (whitout complications) is hand-coded tables :-(

The answer of @theprodigy is good too....

How can we inform these kind of issues to the codeigniter developers. So that they can fix this in the next release

Find for 'codeigniter 2.0' or 'codeigniter 2.1' in forums....

Simple solution works for me (based on the example in the CI manual):
Basically, when setting the table template, set the 'heading_cell_start' tag to <th> = ''. (i.e. empty string)
In the set_heading function include the <th> tags with width attributes when setting the header fields.
I usually also set the 'heading_cell_end' tag to empty as well although it's not really necessary - I just personally find the header declaration easier to read when both opening and closing tags are in the set_heading function's field.

Example (in a controller):

Code:

$this->load->library('table');
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT `name`,`description` FROM my_table");
$this->table->set_heading('<th width="75">Name</th>', '<th width="150">Description</th>');
$tmpl = array (
              'table_open'          => '<table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">',
              'heading_row_start'   => '<tr>',
              'heading_row_end'     => '</tr>',
              'heading_cell_start'  => '',
              'heading_cell_end'    => '',
              'row_start'           => '<tr>',
              'row_end'             => '</tr>',
              'cell_start'          => '<td>',
              'cell_end'            => '</td>',
              'row_alt_start'       => '<tr>',
              'row_alt_end'         => '</tr>',
              'cell_alt_start'      => '<td>',
              'cell_alt_end'        => '</td>',
              'table_close'         => '</table>'
              );
$this->table->set_template($tmpl);
echo $this->table->generate($query);
