That's a great idea! I personally don't mind the current system as it works well enough for me, but I'm always open to contributions if anyone decides to implement this.

Sorry for the necropost, but I found this article while searching online, and I've found there's an alternative solution that doesn't use plugins, I hope this can be useful for someone!

As mentioned in https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/issues/10405, you can simply copy the table data, for example form Excel, and paste it into your database.

However, the database must already have the columns correctly set to accomodate the data, and it must have enough rows to fit all the content. So you may want to use the "row menu" to add enough rows: hover on a row, then click on the 6 dots that appear on the left, then "Insert x rows below".

Select the top-left field in your table and paste, and that's it!

This method works pretty well, but it has some issues with dates and weird formats, so for example if your table has a column of type currency, you may want to first switch it to simple numbers, paste it into SiYuan, and then set the column to currency afterwards.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! That's so cool!

By the way, have you considered making the server FOSS? I love projects like this, but I also like to run my things on my own hardware ;P

Although I guess that any Wordpress API-compatible software would work...

The website mentions that it's compatible with the 发布工具 Plugin, but I'm having a bit of trouble in getting it to work, since the plugins'interface is in Chinese, it's very difficult for me to navigate it. Do you have a step-by-step tutorial to get it to work?

Other than that, it seems like a very well done project, good job!

The main issue, as far as I can recall, is not being able to set workspaces wherever I want. I think the only(?) allowed directory with a correct mapping on my host computer was the Documents folder, but on my machines it's synced via SeaFile, so that would create a conflict.

I will look for some when I have time, unfortunately I'm currently running the Flatpak version with my main workspace so I can't play with it too much, someday I'll make a setup for testing. Maybe I'm just misremembering and the other issue was the only one.

Personally, I have found the Flatpak release to be suboptimal out of the box. For some reason, the developer chose to map only a few folders to the outside of the container (like ~/Documents and not many others), so you can only create the SiYuan workspace in certain directories, and some features don't work.

After setting the application to use the host's entire FS via FlatSeal, the software works much better. I think someone needs to open a PR or issue for the Flatpak release to fix this problem, before it can be recommended.
