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.

Can someone confirm that this mod is not an option for those users on vb4 who are using CMS/Blog built in tables and want to have tables on the forum?

I'm on vb4.03 as of now and am finding a solution to create tables in forum posts.

Wonder why vB has the table code for the cms/blog editors but NOT the forum?

thx.

What have i to do, to show this table correct ?

--- I'm running on vBulletin 4.1.2 ---

The Width of every column should be correct as bright as it needs (should get the width from the value content).

I'm thinking we'll need to rewrite the mod in 4.1.2 style and change the bbcode designator to something like [ftable]... or maybe [tables] so that it doesn't rename and create our cms table bbcode.

I had it working on my site, but it threw an eval code error and messed up page alignment as well... I removed eval and added a variable render, but it still threw out the error for some reason.

Instead I just added bbcode for each tag, used the regular sorttable.js file (not the one changed for this mod) added a call to it in the headinclude, and bammo. It takes a few more tags to do it, but it works.

Later I may take the time to translate this into 4.1.2, but as of now my site has sortable tables anyway.

can someone simplify or add modified plugin file directly so we can run on vb 4.2.1 ?

Do tables still work for CMS and Blogs with your modifications? Previously having this mod for having tables in forum posts negated the ability to have tables work in CMS =S

[A.Chakery]

Thanks for this mod,

But when I use this mod , the XHTML Validator gives me too many errors related to the table made by this mod.

any idea ?

[HolyKiller]

2 A.Chakery's: Screw on validator or w8 for vB 4.1.4 (new editor with table function)

BTW: This works fine on 4.1.1, but ill update my forum to 4.1.3 tomorrow, so i hope it will be fine
