is it possible to colspan in django tables 2

Question

is it possible to use colspan in django tables 2? I have 5 rows with 4 cols, but i want my second row to be with 1 col colspan=4

How can i do this? Is it possible.

Here is my code:

class FavoriteContactTable(FavoriteTable):
    date_added = tables.Column()
    address = AddressColumn(empty_values=(), orderable=False)
    email = tables.EmailColumn(accessor='swimmer.user.email')
    phone = PhoneColumn(empty_values=())

    class Meta:
        model = Favorite
        fields = ('address', 'email', 'phone', 'date_added')
        attrs = {"class": "table table-condensed table-striped table-hover"}

Answer 1

It is possible to add a colspan to a Column with:

tables.Column(attrs={"td": {"colspan": "4"}})

However, this would make all the rows for that column span 4 cells instead of just the second.

Another solution is to override the table template:

class FavoriteContactTable(FavoriteTable):
    template = "path_to_template"

It should extend django_tables2/table.html template and then override the table.tbody.row block.

Probably the easiest solution is to do it with jQuery/Javascript.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(column_no)").attr("colspan", "4");
});

I haven't checked the Javascript but it should be something along those lines.
