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:
install attached product XML through product manager (overwrite existing)
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)
rename a existing BB code "table" to "table_saved"
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)
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.
A good mod and I've installed it - but what do you mean by misused?
Well, tables are meant to display stacks of data.
But on most webpages they are used as layouting tool - you could do the same thing with this table BBCode in posts. That's what I was reffering to.
It wasn't meant negative!
More like "what else I can do with it"
Oh right - I didn't want to have this installed and find out someone could use it maliciously to disrupt the layout of the forum, I couldn't see how the could but thought I'd missed something.

Huh?
I didn't say that.... :speechless:
I don't think it can be used maliciously to break the forum layout.... more like a nice "feature" to add some more formatting to a post like, lets say, a picture on the right and the text on the left of the picture, rather than just under it....
Just like it's common practice on web pages (even vB).
I didn't mean my comment negative.... sorry if it sounded so.... :ermm:
