Hi,

I am looking on how to build a basic table editor with semantic forms.
I would love to have an empty table in my form, with only the cell
headers visible. The 'add another' button would add a next row to the
table.

My current implementation looks like this
Template:TableHeader:
{| class="wikitable"
! First Column
! Second Column
! Third Column
|}

Template:TableRow:
{| class="wikitable"
| [[has first column::{{{FirstColumnValue|}}}]]
| [[has second column::{{{SecondColumnValue|}}}]]
| [[has third column::{{{ThirdColumnValue|}}}]]
|}

Form:CreateTable:
{{{for template|TableHeader}}}
{| class="formtable"
|}
{{{end template}}}

{{{for template|TableRow|multiple}}}
{| class="formtable"
| {{{field|FirstColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|SecondColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|ThirdColumnValue}}}
|}
{{{end template}}}


This provides a semi-workable solution, which looks ugly. Because the
content of every cell will be different, there is no visible table
rendered. Also, a large amount of space is displayed between every row
(and the header).

I tried to refactor my form to wrap the rows into a table in the form
itself, but that messes up the page.

Form:CreateTable2
{| class="wikitable"
! First Column
! Second Column
! Third Column
{{{for template|TableRow|multiple}}}
{| class="formtable"
| {{{field|FirstColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|SecondColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|ThirdColumnValue}}}
|}
{{{end template}}}
|}


An ideal situation would be to be able to use 'compound' forms,
something like:
Form:CreateTable3
{{{for template|TableHeader}}}
{| class="formtable"
{{{call Form:CreateTableRow}}}
|}
{{{end template}}}

Form:CreateTableRow
{{{for template|TableRow|multiple}}}
{| class="formtable"
| {{{field|FirstColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|SecondColumnValue}}}
| {{{field|ThirdColumnValue}}}
|}


Is there a solution to my problem in the current release of Semantic
Forms, or should I search for another solution?

Thanks!
Johannes
