Introduction

This mod provides responsive tables to several TNG displays using the Tablesaw jQuery plugins

For a complete discussion on responsive tables, see the TNG Forum entry on Responsive Web Design

Table headers use a data-tablesaw-priority attribute to be eligible to toggle their display. The data-tablesaw-priority is a numeric value from 1 to 6, which determine default breakpoints at which a column will show.

The breakpoint defaults are:

Priority Toggle Breakpoint Typical Target Devices Device Orientation Widths
data-tablesaw-priority="persist" Not eligible for toggle, always shows
data-tablesaw-priority="1" Shows at (min-width: 20em) (320px) smaller smart phones in portrait orientation iPhone 3 portrait 320x480
data-tablesaw-priority="2" Shows at (min-width: 30em) (480px) smaller smart phones in landscape orientation

Requirements

  • a working TNG installation
  • an installed current version of the Mod Manager
  • a backup of the files shown in the Impacted Files section

Pre Installation

If you use any of the mods shown in the mods that conflict section, you need to uninstall those before installing this Responsive Tables mod

Automated Install

  1. Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
  2. Extract the appropriate zip file to your TNG mods folder.
  3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the appropriate mod for your desktop genealogy program.

Post Installation

  • You also need to install the following mods for Responsive Tables to work on the browsesource and cemeteries show map pages:
    or the Responsive Tables-2 Citation Master Basic mod shown below
    or the Responsive Tables-2 Showmap Burials mod shown below
  • If you use mytngstyle.css to change the color for fieldnameback on your site, you will need to update your mytngstyle.css to add .tablesaw-cell-label so that you have something like the following
.fieldnameback, .tablesaw-cell-label {
    background-color : #D0E0F0;  /*    was  B6D1E4; */
}
  • If you're using a TNG template, then you would make this change in templates/templateX/css/mytngstyle.css
  • If you're not using a TNG template (e.g. using TNG on a WordPress site), then you would make this change in css/mytngstyle.css
Note that you need to install the Mobile Site No Previews to resolve the screen width issue with the search results pages caused by the person or family preview if using TNG 10.1 or TNG 10.1.1

Order of Installation

You should install the mods in the following order, that is those marked -2 before those marked -3

  • Responsive Tables
  • Responsive Tables-2 - Browse Sources
or Responsive Tables-2 - Citation Master Basic (no longer available) since it was not constructed correctly
  • Responsive Tables-2 - Showmap
or Responsive Tables-2 - Showmap Burials
or Responsive Tables-2 - Burials-More Details
  • Responsive Tables-2 - Search
or Responsive Tables-2 - Search Tree ID
  • Responsive Tables-3 - Branch Sort
  • Responsive Tables-3 - Media Display Columns Mod
  • Responsive Tables-3 - PersonID Note
  • Responsive Tables-3 - Private Notes
  • Responsive Tables-3 - Tree ID

Order of Uninstall

You should uninstall those marked Responsive Tables-3 before you uninstall those marked Responsive Tables-2 and the Responsive Tables mod itself. In other words you need to uninstall in the opposite order from what you installed. Note that if you are updating the Responsive Tables mod itself it is not necessary to uninstall the Responsive Tables-2 mods.

You must uninstall the Responsive Tables-3 mods related to the Responsive Tables

Note that if you do not uninstall the Responsive Tables-3 - Tree ID before uninstalling the Responsive Tables you will be forced into a file recovery situation.

and will have to restore the browsetrees.php module before you can install the new version of the Responsive Tables mod since it will return
line 441: %location:% code fragment not allowed here in the %target:browsetrees.php% section of the config file.

Responsive Tables make an incompatible modification to the header row of the sources table in browsesources.php. Citation Master Basic v10.1.0.3a corrects this by removing it's own modification to that header row, with the downside that the table titles no longer reflect the content of the columns. v10.1.0.3a is recommended for any TNG users having both Citation Master and Responsive Tables installed. Otherwise, for full functionality, Citation Master Basic v10.1.0.3 is recommended. Note that testing has only verified the installation compatibility of Citation Master and Responsive Tables, along with the preservation of Citation Master's functionality. Any assistance with verifying Responsive Tables functionality is appreciated.
Note that a version of the Responsive Tables - Citation Master Basic was provided to the Citation Master Basic mod developer that support the functionality of both mods.
if you do not use the Citation Master Basic mod, then
you need to install the responsive_tables_browsesource_v10.1.0.2.zip mod to get the Responsive Tables in Browse Source
This new mod by David Beckwith moves the burial location to the header and eliminates the Tree Name column if you only have one tree
note that this mod needs to be uninstalled prior to installing the Responsive Tables mod
you need to install the responsive_tables_showmap_burial_v10.1.0.2.zip mod

if you do not use this mod, then
you need to install the responsive_tables_showmap_v10.1.0.2.zip mod
and for TNG 10.1.1, you need responsive_tables_v10.1.1.2.zip
while this mod does not show a Mod Manager conflict with the Responsive Tables mod, if installed the toggle no longer works on the All Burials table in showmap.php
a Responsive Tables version of this mod is required, if you use this mod

Anniversaries not mobile friendly Ken Roy V10.1.0.1k Anniversaries does not pass the Google Mobile Friendly test The form input fields are wider than the screen at 320x.

Thumbnails display Bernard Wortelboer V10.1.0.2 One remark about the implementation of the responsive tables mods on my site. I noticed that, after installing the responsive tables mods, my thumbnails for my desktop (my setup: max 100x100px) are much smaller (max 60x60px). When I uninstall the mods, the thumbnails are according the setup (max 100x100) for desktop. $sitever variable is missing from the function getSmallPhoto in the Responsive Tables updates to genlib.php v10.1.0.2a
Search Heather Feuerhelm V10.1.0.2 Responsive Tables - Search shows partially installed after installing the Responsive Tables - Tree ID mod Reworked the Responsive Tables - Tree ID mod to remove the modifications to search.php and famsearch.php and created a Responsive Tables - Search Tree ID to be use if you used the Tree ID mod v10.1.0.2a
