Data Table enter data

[Paul Janzen]

Hi,

Is there a way to enter data to the Data Table particle other then trough the UI?
It takes a lot of time and clicking to get all the data in.

Or, another question, that leaves to the same end. Where ist the data saved? One can edit that file (or database) then, and have it shown on the page.

Thank you

Hi Paul,
“Is there a way to enter data to the Data Table particle other then trough the UI?”
Sure but it requires technical skill. If you interested in modifying Outlines outside of the Gantry 5 administrator, please navigate to your /THEME_NAME/custom/config/outline_id/layout.yaml (particle data are stored via layout.yaml )
Please take a look this screenshot https://imgur.com/4FbiY9n

You can find the layout ID via URL, example
http://localhost/particles/administrator/index.php?option=com_gantry5&view=configurations/31/layout&theme=g5_hydrogen&ba18df5ea9d033d20537f735e5a95480=1
So 31 is the layout ID that you are working on
