00:07 hi this is ryan from wrap Weaver
00:09 classroom calm and like to introduce you
00:11 to the power grid stack from Joe workman
00:13 power grid enables you to add HTML based
00:16 tables that are very flexible and you
00:19 can style these without any knowledge of
00:21 CSS and so you can see in this example
00:23 that we've got a basic table created
00:25 with power grid that displays upcoming
00:26 events and there are four columns with
00:29 three rows of content in one header row
00:31 and so power grid supports header rows
00:33 which you can see here in the blue and
00:36 then it also allows for rollover effects
00:39 as you go down the content of the power
00:43 grid stack and so let's take a look at
00:45 the edit mode we'll see how this is all
00:46 put together first I've got my power
00:49 grid body stack power grid comes with
00:51 both the body stack and the power grid
00:54 row stack and you can find these both in
00:57 your library once they're installed in
00:59 order to utilize power grid you first
01:02 need to add the body stack and then
01:05 place the roast X inside of it and you
01:07 have spaces presented for your rose if
01:10 you select the number of rows in the
01:13 stacks HUD for the power grid body stack
01:15 and so there are a tremendous number of
01:17 rows available you can go all the way up
01:19 to 60 rows of stacks and so if I go back
01:23 down just a bit we'll take a look here
01:26 and if I scroll down you'll see the open
01:28 slots for more roast X you would just
01:31 simply grab your row stack and drop it
01:33 into the space and then customize the
01:36 rows and so while we're looking at the
01:38 Rose stack let's look real quick at the
01:40 inspector HUD for it it's a very basic
01:42 and simple two options one is the number
01:44 of columns for the stack and then
01:47 whether or not it is a header column my
01:49 header column stack is located above
01:52 right here in this space and so if I
01:55 were clicking to the inspector HUD for
01:56 that stack you would find that header
01:58 column is selected and then I've got the
02:01 number of columns set to four it makes
02:03 the most sense of course to have all of
02:04 your roast axed set to use the same
02:08 number of columns and so these three
02:10 that I'm utilizing in this case all have
02:12 four columns
02:13 again that is through the inspector for
02:15 the roast deck itself and just what the
02:18 slider you set the number of columns
02:20 that you would like to utilize so let me
02:22 go back into the body stack itself and
02:25 we'll go and scroll down to the three
02:29 rows that I'm currently utilizing next
02:32 we have the option to use the header row
02:34 which I do if you disable that that
02:36 makes this header row disappear you can
02:39 see it reappear when I select it right
02:41 there next is the color of the header
02:44 row and the color of the header text so
02:46 once again let's take a look at that
02:47 where we've got the header row in this
02:49 blue with the white text and that gives
02:51 it a nice header at the top of the stack
02:55 next we have the border if you would
02:57 like to provide a border around each
03:00 piece of content in the stack you can do
03:02 so with a thickness size here with a
03:04 slider you can set a style for the
03:06 border in this field and in the color as
03:09 well you can also choose to only display
03:11 the border at the bottom and you can
03:13 also choose to not display a background
03:15 color unchecking that I'm checking the
03:18 option for no background color would
03:19 really make it a very basic table as you
03:22 can see here of course if you do this
03:24 you might want to adjust your roll over
03:26 and we'll look at that in just a moment
03:29 finally we have options consuming you
03:32 want background colors to set those
03:34 colors here for even odd rows in the
03:38 hover color and the hover text and
03:40 speaking of the hover you can choose to
03:42 turn that off and disable it with the no
03:44 hover option and then finally if you're
03:47 going to be building a large table then
03:49 you might want to display the show
03:51 sizing tips option that places some more
03:54 information at the bottom of the power
03:56 grid stack which talks about how to set
04:00 the width of your columns in order to
04:03 add content to those because as I
04:05 mentioned you can add I'm not only a
04:07 massive number of rows but also within
04:11 each row stack you can add a massive
04:13 number of columns and so up to 16 you
04:16 can see those stretched across the page
04:17 here and so you can really build some
04:21 very very large tables using the power
04:24 grid stack but it
04:25 very simple to set up in style without
04:28 any coding knowledge whatsoever and so
04:30 that is the power grid stack from Joe
04:33 workman
04:43 you"}]
