HTML Grids, and Notification issues | Forum

John

Just a couple of questions.  Is there a way to make grids made in html show up in oxwall?  I have organized some of our public domain material, but when I put the code into oxwall, the grid lines do not show up.


Also, I have been having issues with email notifications going out.  It used to work instantaneously, but after all of the updates it seems to have stopped.  I assume my chron job is still correct, given that hasn't changed at all.


Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thank you again for this wonderful program

By saying grid, you mean the contents made in grid layout or the grid-like table borders?

About cron, some other plugin might have caused the cron to run.

Good news, I got the notifications to start working again by doing the manual smtp settings, so that's no longer an issue.


I shouldn't have used the word grid, I should have said table.  The table itself, when in html, doesn't appear to want to show up when put into oxwall.

John, can you give a sample code with "grids" ( table border) that you used in custom HTML widget but that didn't get displayed?

Sure:

<html>

<head>

  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"

 http-equiv="content-type">

  <title></title>

</head>

<body>

<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1"

 cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td>1</td>

      <td>1</td>

      <td>1</td>

      <td>1</td>

      <td>1</td>

      <td>1</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>2</td>

      <td>2</td>

      <td>2</td>

      <td>2</td>

      <td>2</td>

      <td>2</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>3</td>

      <td>3</td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td>3</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>4</td>

      <td>4</td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td>4</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>5</td>

      <td>5</td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td>5</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>6</td>

      <td>6</td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td></td>

      <td>6</td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>

</table>

<br>

</body>

</html>

John, you will need to use inline CSS styles, since Oxwall already has styles for table borders, and it will ignore borders in the table that were assigned via attributes ( like you did border="1").

For example:
<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%; border:1px solid;" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
....
</table>

Result:
