I am currently using NEOS CMS and on my site there are a lot of tables which are added by editors directly using the backend and no code is needed. The table are now needed to be sortable via the jquery datatable plugin. The problem is that the plugin requires the table to have a thead tag to identify table headers. Like below

<table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Column 1</th>
        <th>Column 2</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Data1</td>
      <td>Data2</td>
    </tr>
    <tbody> 

</table>

But the NEOS CMS creates table in the follwing format 

    <table>
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <th>Column 1</th>
            <th>Column 2</th>
          </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Data1</td>
          <td>Data2</td>
        </tr>
        <tbody> 

    </table>

Hence the jQuery is not able to find the thead and doesn't work. My question is, is there any workaround for this problem in the plugin so it works with the format. Or any other javascript library which does everything like datatables ?

Thanks in advance.

In the new User Interface you can enable the CK Editor 5. There you can set much more properties in the table like head, etc.

I made a short test and I got following code:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">test</th>
            <th scope="col">test</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Entry</td>
            <td>Entry</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Entry</td>
            <td>Entry</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Here is a short article about Neos and the editor: https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-is-in-love-with-ckeditor5.html

Do you know, that Neos has is own Discourse and also a Slack? Here you'll find all the links: https://www.neos.io/docs-and-support/support.html

  • Does this work with "neos/neos": 3.1 ? Yes I know about it. I asked the question on there slack channel as well and the recommendation was to manipulate javascript to make it suitable for the table hence I did. – Muhammad Tashfeen Nov 20 '18 at 16:15
  • This I don't know. I would update to at least 3.3, as this is an LTS Version. On Neos 3.1, you get no bugfixes anymore, just security fixes… – Jon Nov 23 '18 at 10:38
  • Only works starting from Neos 3.3, but given that 3.3 is the oldest supported version you should upgrade to that anyway. – ChristianM Dec 05 '18 at 13:08
