drupal filterable/sortable table from existing data -
i have existing database holds information upcoming meetings in organization. able display information in datatable type of format upon can filter , sort information (possibly jquery sort). can point me kind of tutorial give me idea of how this? assume can cck , views, i'm not sure involved.
thanks
views handle data manipulation (like filtering , sorting) might want do; , views 3 can utilize backend datasource (previously, needed use drupal's database). if want robust , not one-time import, views way go.
the trick going learning views api , writing module. api documentation stored in advanced help module; in addition that, you'll need learn how views 3 handles third-party datasources. there isn't documentation yet (views 3 still in alpha) if @ apache solr views (which uses solr backend) , extendr (which uses flickr views backend) can parse how they're doing it. extendr more geared proof-of-concept, might easier parse.
