BB Code Enhancements - BB Code [table]

BB Code [table]
by StGaensler

Description
This Hack provides a BB code [table] to add a table to the post
The skin of the table automatically fits the style because the CSS classes of vBulletin are used.

A table is simply made of some lines (will be the rows). The cols are seperated by |. So this will be a table:

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

A screenshot of a "ready" table is attached

Usage

1. install attached product XML through product manager (overwrite existing)
2. install at least one language pack in AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Download / Upload Languages -> Import Language XML File
   Important: Select the language you want to import the phrases into, not "(Create New Language)" - this won't work! If you use another version of vBulletin than I use enable "Ignore Language Version" to import the language pack.

Please note: (installing)
Installing this product will: (reverted during uninstall)

1. rename a existing BB code "table" to "table_saved"
2. add a new BB code [table]

If you want to have live sortable columns (JavaScript): Download attached sorttable.js.txt rename it to sorttable.js and place it into the /clientscript/ folder of your vBulletin. Then go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> BB Code [table] Settings -> Enabled Features Of This BB Code and enable sortable
Note: Including the file on the webpages where it is necessary is done by my product. So if sortable is disabled, it won't be included automatically.
If you want to have a icon for the editor you may use this for free: Download this icon and place it in your /images/editor/ folder.

Please note: (usage)

• Of course you can use vB Code and smilies inside the table!
• The first line defines how much columns are in the table. If the other lines have more or less colums they are cut off or filled with   (space)
• You can find a detailed description of the options (please read it before requesting help)
• Empty rows are (should be ) removed.

New features

• define colspan of cells
• small panel in AdminCP
• define CSS class of table and tablerows
• live sorting of table through clicking the head of a column
• defining maximum width of a table

Maybe planned features

• detailed description of the vB Code in misc.php?do=bbcode depending on the features enabled in AdminCP (planned for next beta version)
• define formatting (bold, italic), align (left, right, center) and width of the cols

Suggested but not planned features

• none

Known problems

• Bugfix of version 0.1.1 doesn't work if vBulletin should write template names into the source code

Version history:
0.0.1 - 0.0.5 internal releases for testing purposes (Thanks to Zombie79 from powerforen.de for testing)
0.1 first official release
0.1.1 fixed small bug: if a line ends with eg vbcode quote no new row was generated (should already have been fixed but did not work)
0.1.2 workaround: removed call to function bcmod(), it could also be done another way
0.1.3.x beta version described here (and following) - added admin panel, colpan and css feature
0.1.4 stable version - no significant changes to the last beta (0.1.3.8)
0.1.5.x beta version described here (and following) - added sortable, maxwidth, versioncheck, upgrade message, compatibility to vB 3.6
0.1.6 stable version - two bugfixes to last beta, {br} for posting linebreaks in a tablecell
0.1.7.x stable version - compatibility to vB 3.7 (description) - added tab seperated tables

This hack can be used for free. If you want to make a small donation, just contact me. We will find a way
I don't want this product to be distributed from other sources. Please don't upload it to other vBulletin related boards etc.

could not have said it better.

Under 4.0.3... it works

Tanks a lot

While I have no doubt that the CKE Editor can be improved upon (and probably will be, if not by vBulletin then by an add-on), in the meantime the built-in table feature works pretty well.

Depends on what functions you need, the supplied one only has limited functions and nothing what this mod offer. The CKeditor in vBulletin is still only an crippled version of the original.

See the report.

Please show me how to implement the following table that was made with this mod on the "brand new vB 4.1.4 CKeditor"

PHP Code:

[TABLE]{colsp=5} [CENTER][B]Murder Victim - Offender Relationship by Race 2004[/B]{br}Source: Crime in the United States, 2004, Table 2.7[/CENTER]

 |{colsp=4} [CENTER][B]Race of offender[/B][/CENTER]

 | [CENTER][B]"White"[/B][/CENTER] | [CENTER][B]Black[/B][/CENTER] | [CENTER][B]Other[/B][/CENTER] | [CENTER][B]Unknown[/B][/CENTER] [noparse][/noparse]
[B]White victims[/B] | [CENTER]3123[/CENTER] | [CENTER]522[/CENTER] | [CENTER]37[/CENTER] | [CENTER]45[/CENTER] [noparse][/noparse]
[B]Black victims[/B] | [CENTER]228[/CENTER] | [CENTER]2784[/CENTER] | [CENTER]7[/CENTER] | [CENTER]48[/CENTER] [noparse][/noparse]
[B]Victims of other race[/B] | [CENTER]42[/CENTER] | [CENTER]23[/CENTER] | [CENTER]110[/CENTER] | [CENTER]2[/CENTER] [noparse][/noparse]
[B]Victims of unknown race[/B] | [CENTER]34[/CENTER] | [CENTER]15[/CENTER] | [CENTER]1[/CENTER] | [CENTER]18[/CENTER] [noparse][/noparse] 

{colsp=5} Note:  The FBI classifies Hispanics, Arabs and others as "Caucasians". The  "White" figure above therefore does not reflect actual White crime  rates, and is significantly inflated. When the actual population ratios  are taken into account and extrapolated in, the per capita rate ratio of Black-on-White murders to White-on-Black murders  becomes about 23.  Similarly, the per capita rate ratio of  White-perpetrator murders to Black-perpetrator murders becomes  (typically) about 9.5. This ratio is a measure of the relatively higher  propensity of Blacks toward violence, as compared with Whites.{br}{br}In  2004, there were 7039 US murders having a single perpetrator and a single victim. Of these murders, Blacks committed 3427 (48.7%) and Whites committed 3344 (47.5%). The Black per capita murder rate was 6.0 times higher than the White per capita murder rate.{br}{br}There were at least 859 interracial murders (12.2% of total murders), of which 545 were committed by Blacks (63.4% of interracial murders) and 270 were committed by Whites (31.4%). The Black per capita interracial  murder rate was 12.5 times higher than that for Whites. {br}{br}There  were 522 murders in which Blacks killed Whites (60.8% of interracial murders) and 228 murders in which Whites killed Blacks (26.5%). The average Black was 14.1 times more likely to kill a White than the reverse (in a one-on-one situation). {br}{br}The (White+Hispanic)/Black population ratio for 2004 was 6.18.{br}{br}[RIGHT][B][SIZE=1]Thanks to Jerry Abbot for the race and crime tables[/SIZE][/B][/RIGHT][/TABLE]

Before vB v4.1.4 I was using this modification. Now I uninstalled it, but there still remains it's icon in the editor (there is no custom BB code on this page http://example.com/admincp/bbcode.php?do=modify right now, which is weird)



Does anyone know how to remove it?
Thanks.

I had a big problem after with my forum after updating to 4.1.4 witch this (perfect) mod still installed (disabled during update). Even after uninstall the default "table" function was buggy.

So i restored my fresh backup, uninstalled this MOD, then upgraded to 4.1.4 and it's working now. The main problem is, all of the old tables lost. I mean, it does not left any unparsed "source" in the posts, it just disappeared. So i temporary established the backup forum as a "test" installation in "read only" mode, so any user can copy/paste old table to the new forum. Yes, a bit tricky, but it's ok

Dear all,

I used mod table for version 3.8.x, now i upgraded it to 4.1.1 and the mod table is no longer suitable. Therefore, the old posts using this mod are in error. I need the upgraded version for this function. Could you please do it and let me know the cost? Thank you very much.

[Alfa1]

The conversion from this table hack to vbulletin 4.1.4 is important. Please release a converter.

[Stefanus]

The "Table" in 4.1.4 does not have all the functions of this mod, and it does not look as if vB is going to give us the full capabilities of the full CKEditor,

Have a look at the capabilities of the full: CKEditor - Demo

Play with the capabilities of the table function in the demo and decide for yourself if vB is giving us the best or.....

I still use this mod in vB 4.1.4 because of the crappy functions vB has given us in their version is not up to standard and does not have all the functions this mod have.

"4.1.4 will have shitty tables in Forum via CKeditor"
