Use [credit_tracker_table] in a widget

[r-brown]

Can [credit_tracker_table] somehow be used in or as a widget? I tried that but the code is not interpreted unfortunately.

Our goal was to show the copyright table in the footer area instead of below the article.

Do you mind if I look into this?

Hi @Jaace - absolutely, thank you for your support!

@r-brown I've opened a PR for this here: #28

There is still one issue open - image preview isn't rendered in the widget if all available columns are shown (e.g. no values in the field Include Columns).

As soon as custom fields are added to this field - preview image is rendered

I'll take a look into this bug

This appears to be related to the styling in the theme being used. I see this happening in Twenty Seventeen, but if I install Twenty Sixteen, I can see all tables rendering properly, including those within widgets.

Some screenshots:
Twenty Seventeen, post_content

Twenty Seventeen, footer 1 "sidebar", as a widget.

Twenty Sixteen, post_content:

Twenty Sixteen, content bottom 1 "sidebar", as a widget.

Possibly we need to override some styles at css/ct-public.css (style: table.credit-tracker-xxx), so the table is rendered correctly regardless of the chosen theme.
