BB code tables 1.0 for vB 3.5.x

This plugin permits the creation of a table in a post! Tables support for thread postbit, post review and post preview!

This is a just port which is based on the original JohnWoo BB code tables 1.0 hack for vB 3.0.x . This is posted with his permission. All credits to the original author!

How it works :
1) starting code is [table] or [table 1 2 3] where
1 2 3 any numbers separated by space
first - border
second - cellpadding
third - cellspacing

- ending tag is always [/table]
- table lines separated by line break
- each line can have 7 styles. To specify a style add in the beginning number and ^ symbol without spaces
example:
2^
you may skip 7^ - it is default (alt1) style
- cells in line separated by |
- there is no need to add | before first and after last cell
- each cell can have each own align. Use align mark as a first symbol of cell without spaces
blank (default) - left
= - center
~ - right

- if number of cells different in lines, last cell of shorter lines will get colspan= with needed number

so table in post may look like

[table 1 3 0]
1|2|test 16798789789797979799879797979|4|5|6|7
1^~right with colspan
2^333|=center with colspan
3^1|2|left with colspan
4^1|=center without colspan|3|4|5|6|7
5^1|blablabla|3|4|5
6^1|2|3|4|5|6|7
[/table]

Minor bugs:
a)It inserts an empty cell if you leave a space after the [table] tag, so the first line has to be like this
[table 1 3 0] 1|2|test 16798789789797979799879797979|4|5|6|7
b) you can not use other bbcodes or smilies inside the table tag as they will not get parsed...

You can see demos at the screenshots

AFAIK yes (allthough i don't have a fixed width style to test it).

Dear EvilHawk, I think that it is better working with phrases!
so, I changed the text in your xml, and I replaced it with some vbphrases
bb_table_title
bb_table_explanation
bb_table_example
bb_table_usage
so, by adding 4 phrases to the system, we can change or translate it easily
Here is what theese phrases should replace:

bb_table_title:
Table


bb_table_explanation:
Creates a table with parameters.


bb_table_example:
[table 1 3 0]<br/>
1|2|test 16798789789797979799879797979|4|5|6|7<br/>
1^~right with colspan<br/>
2^333|=center with colspan<br/> 
3^1|2|left with colspan <br/>
4^1|~center without colspan|3|4|5|6|7<br/>
5^1|blablabla|3|4|5<br/>
6^1|2|3|4|5|6|7<br/>
[/table] 


bb_table_usage:
[table]table contents[/table]
starting code is [table] or [table 1 2 3] where 1 2 3 any numbers separated by space (
first - border
second - cellpadding
third - cellspacing

- ending tag is always [/table]
- table lines separated by line break
- each line can have 7 styles. To specify a style add in the beginning number and ^ symbol without spaces example:2^ you may skip 7^ - it is default (alt1) style
- cells in line separated by |
- there is no need to add | before first and after last cell
- each cell can have each own align. Use align mark as a first symbol of ceil without spaces blank (default) - left
= - center
~ - right
- you can use any other BB code inside cells :)
- if number of ceils different in lines, last cell of shorter lines will get colspan= with needed number

I also include the new xml file(I just changed that part, nothing else )

Hello again, I think there is a bug!
When I type an url in a cell, and the system makes it a link with [url] tag, the link is wrong.
If the url is http://www.site.com, then the link will be: http://www.site.com\"/
What could it be?

Just saw this myself. Doing the same thing.

I suggest to use this hack instead https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107985

Hello,

here's a code correction for bbcode (like url and image) working :

Replace all code like that (in modules) :

$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("~(\[table.+\[/table\])~iUse", "fetch_html_table('\\1')", $this->post['message']);

by :

preg_match("~(\[table.+\[/table\])~iUs", $this->post['message'], $matches);
$replace = fetch_html_table($matches[1]);
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("~(\[table.+\[/table\])~iUs", $replace, $this->post['message']);

Explanation :

the e search option of preg_replace escape simple and double quote.

it's great code but complicated in used. However, thanks for advance
