Extension talk:Data Aggregator

Is there a version of this extension that reverses the rows and columns? So that the template fields are across the top and the rows are for each page? That would be very helpful to me because I need to be able to sort the values in each template field.

---

My English is very bad. Very good extension. Change the way of presenting the table and row value filter

Example: <da template="RMS/Document" rowtitles='project_number|project_title' excludes="project_number=86323" class="wikitable sortable" category="RMS"></da>

Code:

 * The extension: Data Aggregator allows users to aggregate data from different pages, 
 * those pages must be conformed to a unified template. Data Aggregator will pull the 
 * specific data field from those pages and compose it into a single table. This 
 * extension can be widely used in comparison table and automated information aggregation. 
 *
 * A portion of this code is based directly on the extension TemplateTable from C. Shaun Wagner.
