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.

a) Works nice here with 4.0.3.
b) Uninstall: Don't know either... Perhaps you can ask in the main forum, what excatly is beeing done, when uninstalling or how to be sure to 100% remove an AddOn... (and let us know here then)

Any update on css for vb4?

[Mastergumble]

A update on this for vb4 would be awesome, the cms editor to work with tables make a lot of things harder...

[bnimbhal]

I tried it in my Local Machine, and its not working even after adding 1, getting error

"Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in C:\xampp\htdocs\vb\includes\adminfunctions_options .php on line 727"


Using 4.0.3 (1)

Can someone please help me, I am not so good in coding

[leftwich86]

Getting error:

Unsupported operand types in /home/admin/public_html/community/includes/adminfunctions_options.php on line 727

This is when trying to activate sortable

[bnimbhal]

Its working fine with VB4

But having some problem, I have attached a image, and I want to create table like this ( Need to give brake ), can someone please tell me the way.

[mickknutson]

vb 4.0.4 seems to work, but I get image 404 errors:

But not sure where this is, or should be.

To all: Sorry, I forgot to mention a new small feature in my new version: If you want to have a linebreak in a tablecell only put {br} instead of it - this will be replaced by a linebreak.

Okay, I got this to work, using the {br}

Does anyone know how, in version 3.8 to set the table class to align at the top of each cell???

[John Streetz]

This won't install correctly in the latest version of vB. I get a database error. Can someone update this for vB4.0.x?

[Amiga Harrison]

This is working fine for me in vB4.0.4, with sortable tables disabled. I've had this installed since 3.X and it has continued to work fine.

It would still be great if someone could update this properly for vB4 and fix the sortable issue.
