I'm trying to merge two cells of a table in mediawiki like so:
Current table:
hello
world
one
col
Goal:
Merge the two cells "one" and "col"
I found this excellent resource online where all the mediawiki table markup is explained: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting#Background_colors_in_sortable_headers
My solution was the following:
{|-
|Hello
|World
|-
| colspan="2" | one col
|-
|}
Yes, what you have found is good and if you edit cells via VisualEditor you just select cells you'd like to merge, and pop-up window appears. There you can click on merge and they merge.

I’m trying to extract a single row from a table.
I'm using google sheet to create the links and in cell D3 it contains this url.
https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/AAPL/options
I have several links in cell D3 to go through.
The word "Last Trade" appears several times in different tables but I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN THE VERY FIRST TABLE FROM THE TOP.
with this word and once this word is found i'm looking to extract the ROW just above it.
Below is the IMPORTXML, and its needs modification and it should be able to pull that last row.
=IMPORTXML(D3,"//tr[td1/#class='acenter inthemoney'][last()]")
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
For that row you will need:
(//tr[#class='last_trade_row'])[1]/preceding-sibling::tr[1]
And then pick the wright td...it's unclear which td you want. So if you wanted the third td the XPath would be:
(//tr[#class='last_trade_row'])[1]/preceding-sibling::tr[1]/td[3]
Its always the first table that ends with the word LAST TRADE and the row above it that i'm looking to extract, so in this case this is the row that i'm looking to extract, below is the picture.
https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/AAPL/options
In the above case where you want the first td the XPath will then be
(//tr[#class='last_trade_row'])[1]/preceding-sibling::tr[1]/td[1]
Quick Brief
I have a sheet with 3 tabs (Overview, Book 1, Book 2). The first tab (Overview) contains a lot of rows (Programs) with a lot of columns (information). I want to dynamically add these rows (Programs) to another tab (Book) whenever I checkmark them for that location, if possible!. To give you a visual idea:
Tab: Overview
Tab: Book 1
Tab: Book 2
Current solution
My current solution, for now, is making filters for every Book-name containing an 'x' and sort the programs alphabetically, and just copy-paste them to that given tab (book-location). However, this example above is just a tiny fraction of my actual document. I have over 300 programs and over 20 different books which have to be updated every-time I add or delete a program, which is time-consuming. Again, I'm not sure if the above is possible or if it needs another setup to achieve the same. Any idea/solution would be much grateful!
You can use the query function to achieve this:
For example put formula in Book 1 Cell A1 :
=QUERY({Overview!A1:H},"Select * where Col7 ='x' ")
Similarly in Book2 Cell A1
=QUERY({Overview!A1:H},"Select * where Col8 ='x' ")
I am using bootstrap to display and sort a table. I was wondering how/if I could implement a temporary arrow(or something) in each header in the table to indicate which direction it is being sorted.
Yes this is possible. For the header, add the following...
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Column 1 <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-sort"></th>
...
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
EDIT: I assume you actually want the icon to sort the table, as well.
This is dynamic behavior, so you won't be able to do this in pure HTML/CSS: you will need to use JavaScript. Here are the general steps that you would do to make this happen:
Store all of the table rows inside of a JavaScript variable
Inside the <th>, place another element, like a <span> or <img> that contains your arrow image.
Attach a click handler to the arrow, that sorts the array of table rows
After the array is sorted, use DOM API functions to remove the old table, create a new table, and then insert a new table in its place. Bootstrap usually is used with jQuery, so you can look at some jQuery functions to remove the table, build a new one (by going through the rows), and then render the built table to the page, in place of the old one.
There are a variety of libraries that do this, but you can accomplish it more simply by doing it yourself.
I need to disable (not hide) a single table row in a table with at least two rows. I've been searching for how to do it, but everything I've found tells me how to hide the row. I need to actually disable it so that the result is not submitted.
I'm using a template row and cloning when users add rows. On submit, the hidden template and the rows with actual data are all submitted. The database save fails because the hidden row doesn't pass validation.
<tr class="template" style="display:none">
<!-- This is the row to be copied and unhidden to add to the table -->
<td>company</td>
<td>department</td>
<td>line</td>
<td>account</td>
</tr>
It looks to me like you are going to duplicate the table row over and over again to create the table structure with javascript or something. Options:
You could remove the row from the DOM before submission or
jQuery('tr.template').remove();
you could select all the rows except it to submit
jQuery('table tr').not('tr.template').submit();
I personally do not think it is possible to have a table without rows, perhaps you mean you want to stylise your website without using a table?
If that is the case, then if your not already, set up a css file, with this you can edit and manipulate blocks for your website. ( I would post screenshots but my reputation isn't up yet ^-^ )
I would like to display in the same query properties of a page which is related to the pages im querying for.
Let's say I would like to query all the pages in the City category, which are located in Germany, and I want to display the title of the page, but also I want to display the surface data of Germany, for example.
Something like this: {{#ask: [[Category:City]] [[location::Germany]] |?mainlabel |?Location.surface }}
I know this wont work, but you can see what I want to achieve.
I'm not sure if there's a way to nest queries directly inside other queries. The normal method of doing it is using a template. So you might define a template (or subpage of the template if this going into a template) called {{tablerow}} that consists of:
<includeonly>
|- valign="top"
| [[{{{1|}}}]]
| {{#show: {{{1|}}} | ?surface }}</includeonly>
The <includeonly> tags are important for reasons I don't really understand, it produces errors sometimes if you leave them out. Then you just run an #ask query with format = template. (You can build the header into the query, but I find it simpler to just put it outside.)
{| class="wikitable smwtable sortable"
|- valign="bottom"
! [[City]]
! [[Surface]]
{{#ask: [[Category:City]] [[location::Germany]]
| format = template
| template = tablerow
| link = none
}}
|}
That will punch each result returned by the query through the template as {{{1}}} and generate a row based on it. If you have other data to return from the main query, additional properties that you ask for will come out as consecutive unnamed parameters (so if you include | ?population, that will go into the template as {{{2}}} and will need to be added to the row structure or it will be dropped).
