Great idea, I have always needed a way to allow my clients to easily edit tables and this does just that.
Love all the the options added since I first tried this addon out awhile back in a site, the table views make it easy to create many views using just one table.
The Bad...
Max Characters is set to 255 for the input fields, which is fine for certain things but for a product database it just didn't cut it. We went in and changed it to allow more chars in the fields.
The BB like code is annoying, It should allow html as well.
The Ugly...
This component, based on web standards is very poorly coded. Just inserting a table with a mere 2 columns and 6 rows pulls a whopping 41 errors on the W3C validation service. That doesn't cut it for me, for a component in which you are now charging people to use.
When editing table data you are forced to do it in tiny little edit boxes, which when you are adding 500+ characters into fields can get quite annoying. I went in to the admin form and simply added... style="width: 100%" on the input box to make it easier to see.
All in all this is a great addon with great potential but I have to say that these validation problems need to be sorted asap.
I will be disecting it this afternoon to try to get this all valid, which for something i just paid money for, I really think i shouldn't have to do. i bought this to save time, not eat up more of it.
