[Beta] bbcode Table Maker

This Hack is in BETA Status!

Version: 0.3
I have test it in vb3.5.0 / vb3.5.1 and it works perfectly! :laugh:

Changelog:
*[12.11.2005] Version 0.3
- correct some code to insert the new vbcode tags
- build new bbcode cache
- set new permissions (only Admin, Mods and Supermods can use the popup)

On a german wbb board community www.web-dynamic.de i found a little javascript code (Thanks to Snoopy for this nice code) - that can translate the given html code to bbcode - and here is now my vb3.5.x Version.

To see how this hack works: [ Flash DEMO ]

Description:
We all can include own vbcodes like [table], [td] or [tr] but it is very hard to create a table because you need a lot of code like the follow:

[table=50%][tr=tcat][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][td]3[/td][/tr][tr=alt2][td]A[/td][td]B[/td][td]C[/td][/tr][tr=alt1][td]F[/td][td]E[/td][td]WE[/td][/tr][tr=alt2][td]2w[/td][td]dd[/td][td]w[/td][/tr][/table]

Permissions:
When a user create a new tablecode and after he had transfered the code to the editor, he can delete some tags and your forum looks very bad after he save the post - i have set the permissons for the Popup so that only Admins, Mods and Supermods can use the PopUp.
=> product-bbcode-table-03.xml (15.2 KB) = only admins & mods can use the PopUp
=> product-bbcode-table-03_no_perm.xml (15.0 KB) = all usergroups can use this Popup

Installation:
After the Product Import you must only upload a small gif file for the Editor (look at the Attachments)
(copy it to ..../YOURFORUM/images/bbcode_table.gif)

Known BUGS:
The transfer from the popup to the WYSIWYG Editor doesn?t work at this time - i have try to find the correct code but i have no more time now . So when you have any ideas please help me to fix it.

Here is the old code from vb3.0.x :

var bname = navigator.appName;
 if (bname == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
 {
 var newins = opener.document.frames["htmlwindow"].innerHTML + insert;
 opener.document.frames["htmlwindow"].innerHTML = newins;
 opener.document.frames["htmlwindow"].focus();
 self.close();
 }
 else
 {
 var newins = opener.htmlbox.body.innerHTML + insert;
 opener.htmlbox.body.innerHTML = newins;
 opener.htmlbox.body.focus();
 self.close();
 }

I hope somebody can change it to run in the vb3.5.1 WYSIWYG Editor :ermm:

I will try to give my best support to you ... :nervous:

You really REALLY don't know how happy you will make me if you can get this functioning properly. Like seriously!!!!

I've been trying for days to get someone to port a table hack from vB3.0.x, as i'd tried all sorts of things and had failed miserably at every angle myself.

If there is anything I can do to help to get this one sorted let me know, i'll probably not be much use, but i'd try.

I am going to tag this for later reference.

In the next hours i will update my board to 3.5.1 and i hope i can change the code for 3.5.1
