Now it’s possible to use "last" instead of entering a specifing column-number when excluding a column.

1.0.8

Now it’s possible to use a custom delimiter for each row in a csv file.

1.0.7

Autodetection of line endings now supported. Works automatically on local files (on server)
\nPossible to specifiy custom line endings when loading external links (when CURL is enabled)

1.0.5

Now it’s possible to specify an extra class for the table. Example: If used together with the tablesorter plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-sorter/) you can add a class called tablesorter and combine these two plugins to
\ncreate a "tablesorted" html table generated from csv file(s) in realtime.

1.0.4

Now it’s possible to include or exclude columns in format 1,2,3 or 1-3. It’s also possible to combine these two eg. 1,2,3,7-9,13,14,15.

1.0.2

Semantic bugfix. When not defining a path an extra slash was included in the path. Now there are no extra slashes.
\nNow it’s possible to include a full url to fetch csv-files from external sources. CURL are used to fetch csv files from external sources, but if CURL is not installed, then php’s file() function is used but that requires that the server
\nhas allow url fopen enabled.

CSV to HTML is a highly configurable plugin that makes it easy to fetch content from file(s) (.csv,.xlsx, .json and .ods) and put content from that file/those files and display the html(table) on a page with a single shortcode. If using more than one file, content from all files are mixed into one single table instead of creating two tables.

The plugin fetches the actual content directly from the file(s) without having to import/export any file(s) manually. So any changes in the file(s) will be updated when you view your table(s). CSV to HTML is able to fetch both local and external files.

Get started with the plugin by moving on to the Installation tab. There’s a 4 step guide how you could start using the plugin. Good luck!

\n","downloaded":33509,"faq":"\n

\nIs your tables responsive?\n\n

The short answer is yes. From v1.60 the tables are responsive as default. If you want more advanced responsivity you have to modify css yourself.

\nWhy don’t you include any css for the plugin?\n\n

From v1.60 there are som basic css to make responsive table. It’s possible to turn this css off if having issue though.
\nThe goal is to make the plugin work as fast as possible as expected. By not supplying a lot of css the developer has full control over the design. If you know css, it’s easy to apply your style on all tables / invidual tables etc. From version 1.6 there are also some templates to use.

\nIs the plugin totally free?\n\n

Yes it is. If you feel bad about using this plugin for free, please write a review and/or give a donation to PayPal info@wibergsweb.se.

\nIs there a premium/pro version of the plugin available?\n\n

No there’s no need. This plugin offers a lot totally free. But an addon is on it ways for those people who wants even more! When it arrives, you will know! 🙂
\nFor now, the plugin’s existence depends on donations only.If you like the plugin, please consider donating. Please donate to paypal info@wibergsweb.se. Amount does not matter. I like coffee! 🙂

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. There are actually three steps. 1. Load csv-file or files into your wp-content/uploads directory. 2. Apply settings in form or manually in shortcode generator. 3. Copy and paste into page/post/widget.

Look at inspirational examples of what you can do with the plugin here: http://wibergsweb.se/plugins/csvtohtml/

A more detailed descrption of how to get this plugin working:

STEP1 – INSTALLATION
\n1. Upload the plugin folder csvtohtml to the `/wp-content/plugins/’ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
\n2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

STEP2 – PREPARATION
\nThe plugin can either fetch files locally from your server (or from an external resource). The plugin supports csv-files, Excel(xlsx-files only), ods-files (spreadsheet) and json-files. If using a json-file then you should set source type to JSON. In most cases the source type should be set to guess if not using JSON.

Local fetch

Create a folder called csvtohtmlfiles in your wp-content/uploads/ manually (e.g. wp-content/uploads/csvtohtmlfiles should be created)
Upload/copy your file to this created folder (e.g. wp-content/uploads/csvtohtmlfiles/testfile.csv). This cannot be done from media-upload (Use ftp, ssh or directly on your os to copy files to the webserver).

External fetch

Have an uri to your csv-file available/accessible from your computer (eg. https://[domain]/testfile.csv).

STEP3 – SHORTCODE GENERATOR
\n1. Begin to understand what you are able to to do with the plugin. Do this by playing around with the CSV to HTML shortcode generator. This is accessible in the admin dashboard – CSV to HTML/Shortcode generator or through the plugins page. Do this on a desktop computer for easiest management.
\n2. Try and click/modify settings and see the preview of the table to the right. This preview only shows how it would look like, but functionality such as search and pagination etc isn’t going to work.
\n3. If you want to see the current output based on applied settings, then you should click the update/preview – button.
\n4. Settings are splitted into different sections in the shortcode generator page.
\n5. The section "Debugging" shows known errors and gives warnings depending on your settings. It turns into red when there are any errors or warnings. This doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work but can be an indicator of somethings you must adjust.
\n6. You should see the "File management" section as a starting point for your settings. By default all csv files that exists in wp-content/uploads are used to generate a table (*.csv).
\n7. Change *.csv to the name of the file you prepared in STEP2.

Local fetch

Set Path(local) to csvtohtmlfiles or click on the button with three dots and select csvtohtmlfiles (if you have done previous steps you should see your folder csvtohtmlfiles here). In Fetch file(s) type the file(s) that you put into wp-content/uploads/csvtohtmlfiles
If an Excel-file is selected for fetch, then it is converted to a csv-file and the Excel-file remains intact (so there are two files that has identical data in the same folder). This may seem redudantant, but this is because the plugin fetches data from the csv-file and not from the Excel-file directly.

External fetch

In File(s) combined to this table put in your url that you prepared in STEP2. If your external file is a google spreadsheet, make sure it’s publicy available for download and that you have the full uri to your googlesheets workbook. Also set "add extension automatically" to no.
If you have more files you want to combine, then just add a semicolon (;) and add filename (local or external)

STEP4 – MAKE IT WORK
\n10. Play around with settings until you’re satisfied. In very few cases you should change character encodings but if you’re having issues with encoding, you could try and change these settings.
\n11. Copy generated shortcode and put the shortcode in a wordpress page or post to display table with the functionality you have set in the shortcode generator page.
\n12. If you don’t like the default design of the table(s), use your theme’s css to change the layout of your site/table etc.

SHORTCODE
\nYou can apply settings through text inputs, radiobuttons, select lists etc or simply adjust shorcode directly and click for a new preview/update. When you are done, simply paste the shortcode into a post or page (or widget if theme supports that).

If having issues that you cannot solve please send a mail to info@wibergsweb.se.
\nIf you like the plugin, please consider donating. Please donate to paypal info@wibergsweb.se. Amount does not matter. I like coffee! 🙂
