Description
Saturn Tables provides a construct for methodical and organized construction of WordPress List Tables, the native format WordPress uses to display tabular data in the administration area. These are the type of display tables used for Posts and Pages, and are commonly used in major plugins. Designed for coders, this plugin is usually for projects involving data outside the WordPress data structure.
With simple PHP and MySQL programming, this plugin will construct beautiful and seamless data tables for custom datasets in the administration area of WordPress. It is much easier than constructing custom data table displays, pagination and other functionality from scratch. Little HTML or styling is needed, the tables appear seamlessly into the administration area.
