Newbie needs help in getting started

Mango

Hi,

I am VERY new to wordpress, php etc and i was wondering if there is a simple explanation that i could follow to tell me how to set up your plug in. I'm talking very simple at least until i learn more about php etc (i do have sone html so i guess i'm not starting from being a complete dummy!)

what i am trying to achieve is a searchable table, so that a user who wants to know which cars have an engine size of say 2 litres and has 4 doors, can choose from a drop down menu and then search the table. The table would then return only the cars that had 4 doors and a 2 litre engine

I already have my excel spreadsheet prepared or can save as a csv


thanks in advance of any help

Firstly create an HTML table with your data in it. Then simply apply $(...).dataTable(); to it :-). Example: http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html . You need to include the jQuery and DataTables source obviously, and then any styles you want. Look around the site and the examples.
