Display as table

The plugin generates an UL for me, that’s fine but I’d like to display as a table. I’ve tried to modify the template but I end up with a white screen – I don’t understand the code in the template.

Does any kind person have a working example of a table display?
Thanks

Thanks for that showcase.

I’ve managed to a basic table to work, here’s the code:

//Add 'starting' tag. Here, I'm using an unordered list (ul) as an example:
$lcp_display_output .= '<table class="lcp_catlist">';

foreach ($this->catlist->get_categories_posts() as $single){
  //Start a List Item for each post:
  $lcp_display_output .= "<tr>";

  //Show the title and link to the post:
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_post_title($single, 'td', 'lcp_post');

   //Show date:
  $lcp_display_output .= ' ' . $this->get_date($single, 'td', 'lcp_post'); 

   //Post Thumbnail
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_thumbnail($single);

   //Close li tag
  $lcp_display_output .= '</tr>';
}

// Close the wrapper I opened at the beginning:
$lcp_display_output .= '</table>';

That’s all fine, but how to I create a table head?
