Datatable cards

The following demonstrates the use of Datatables with the paramater datatables-cards=true. If the results exceed the standard limit (100 items) the table/cards will be automatically navigable using Ajax. SearchPanes can also be simultaneously used.

This page contains the following components:

a popup form to create new gods (completed with picture)
a query with format datatable and datatables-cards=true in order to show items as cards
the following templates:
- Template:Demo_VisualData/Datatable cards/cards.css (used to style the cards)
- Template:GodsPicture (wikitext to display the card picture)
- Template:GodsAction (wikitext to display the card action: it contains a VisualData form to edit the relevant card data)

Form is loading...

{{#visualdataform: Gods
|title = Add god
|action = create
|edit-page = 
|return-page = Demo_VisualData/Datatable_cards
|view = popup
|popup-size = medium
|css-class =
|pagename-formula = Demo_VisualData/Datatable cards/<name>
|edit-freetext = false	
|edit-categories = false
|edit-content-model = false
|edit-target-slot = false
|target-slot = main
|default-categories = 
|default-content-model = wikitext
|preload=
|preload-data=
|layout-align = top
|popup-help = false 
|submit-button-text =
|layout = tabs
|submit-button-text =
|validate-button-text =
}}

(see the docs here)

The single cells of the table can be styled using the "data-label" attribute as follows:

.visualdata.datatable.cards td[data-label="picture"] {
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
}

(see Template:Demo_VisualData/Datatable cards/cards.css for the complete style)

The following templates are applied to specific printouts with the syntax |template?picture=GodsPicture or |template?action=GodsAction

Template:GodsPicture (wikitext to display the card picture)
Template:GodsAction (wikitext to display the card action: it contains a VisualData form to edit the relevant card data)

<templatestyles src="Demo_VisualData/Datatable cards/cards.css" /> 

{{#visualdataquery:[[name::+]]  
|schema=Gods 
|format=datatable   
|pagetitle= 
|?action=
|?picture
|?name
|?description
|?url=
|template?picture=GodsPicture
|template?action=GodsAction
|datatables-cards=true
|order=name asc
}}

(see the docs here, note that the printouts with an empty alias, like action= or url= are used to ensure that the property is available within templates, without showing it)
