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.

Apparently, I must have missed that. Thank you very much. I'll try it out now!

[ArchangelX]

Fantastic, it works! Having a little trouble getting the live sort to work, though...hmm.

[GBSteve]

bumping this... any javascripters out there willing to take a stab at fixing the poor sorting issue? at this point i'm willing to throw some dollars at the problem.

[KHALIK]

Installed, great mod.

But when you have, sort does not function properly when 2/3 sorts are running withing the same table.

how do you do rowspan in this mod?

[Mum]

I am trying to centre inside a cell, but it's not working. I've read through the 10 pages but can't find anything about it except someone else saying it doesn't work. Can you please help me?

Hello
I installed this mod tonight and think its wonderful, however I'm needing to be able to put an image on each row. How exactly do you go about putting images in? I insert an image and it just puts the link instead. Can someone please help?

[Bulent Tekcan]

Is it compatible for vB 3.6.6 ?

[mccollin]

How do you not have a header row?

[StGaensler]

Sorry to you all. For some unknown reason my subscription of this thread has been removed...

If you want to centre text then simply use the bbcode [center] in the cell. This works in any cell, exept the cells in the last column (due some code in vBulletin...). Formating with css would be better but currently it is not possible to format a defined column, sorry.

Images (through vB code) should work outside of a table as well as inside.
It could be that you have to enable Admincp -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Allow Dynamic URL for [IMG] Tags for this image, but I don't recommend this.

Unless stated otherwise my Add-ons always work with the current version of vBulletin.

I'm not sure if I really understand you. If you don't want to have a header row, simply don't define any... Don't write the bold code into your post: [table="head"]
