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.

Hi first of all this mod is really good ,

the second thing ave a problem with the option {width=60%}

look at the attached picture plaese. Any ideas

[StGaensler]

Thank you for your compliments

Currently you can't define the width for a single column but only for the whole table. That is done this way: [table="width=60%"]

[benjaminbih]

Oh ok i understand,


Wird die n?chste Version von Table BBcode um diese Funktion erweitert ? ?

Yes, this feature is planned, but I can't tell you when I will get this done. Sorry As you can see, the last version of my mod is from last year...

I wrote the following table code in notepad and then pasted it in to a test post. Problem is the first column does not stay as it is written in the table code. The first column is inverted, with the numbers going from 9 (top) to 7 (bottom). Sometimes, the first column is totally not in order.

Also, I have to refresh my page after the page loads from posting to get the table's sorting links to work.

[Dave Hawley]

StGaensler, anyway I can use this great hack on English 3.5.4? I have tried installing these here but they show multiple errors on Import.

I'm willing to pay.

May I see the code you used? If you don't define a sort order the table shouldn't be sorted anyway.

That's "working by desing" - sorry. If a page contains an table, this table is initialised by loading the page. If you post it via ajax this doesn't happen. So you have to reload the page. I will look if I can overcome this, but I can't promise anything.

Its only a small change you have to make: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=127
vBulletin 3.5.4 doesn't know the field "executionorder" and spits out an error instead of ignoring it.

If you are still willing to pay, please contact me via pm

[Dave Hawley]

Thanks Stefan! Wonderful. I'll pay in smilies

how on earth do you override the "stg_table tborder" attribute?

I have tried everything, and all I see in my source code is "table class="stg_table tborder stg_table_test"

_test is the one I have created.

I've tried to overrun the class strg_table tborder with .stg_table tborder {border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;} or .stg_table_test tborder {border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;} without any results

Could you please help me?

thanks for the great mod!

PS: If I uninstall this mod, is there any way to uninstall the language file that was added as well?

[StGaensler]

Don't use tborder - its on the same "level" as stg_table and stg_table_test.

These lines should do it (first for all tables, second for your new class):

.stg_table {border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;}
.stg_table_table {border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px;}

Uninstalling the language: I don't know a vBulletin function for that. A way could be to use AdminCP -> Language & Phrases -> Phrase Manager -> [Find orphan Phrases] Delete all phrases containing stg_table and the phrase settinggroup_bbcode_table
