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.

heres my eg..

[table="head;sort=16d,15;autonumtitle=Rank;width=12 em"]#|CLUBNAME|MATCHES|POINTS

1|a|0|0
2|b|0|0
3|c|0|0
etc etc etc
16|q|0|0[/table}

what i then want is if club b has played 1 match and gets 3 points, this team is sorted as number 1 at the top like this

1|b|1|3
2|a|0|0
3|c|0|0
etc etc etc
16|q|0|0

So it has to sort from more than one thing, both #, Clubname,Match and points at the same time

i hope you get what i mean and is this possible??

should say that i use this on vbadvanced as a left coloumn info

Auto Number - Don't forget to add in "autonum=1" to your table definition.

For the sorting, it goes by column number. In your example, you are using column 15 and 16, with 16 sorting in descending order, and then by column 16 in ascending order.

If you do not have 16 columns, change those numbers to the column number.

If you want to sort it by number of points (descending) and then number of matches played (ascending), then your code could look like this:

[table="head;sort=4d,3;autonum=1;autonumtitle=Rank; width=12em"]#|CLUBNAME|MATCHES|POINTS
1|Team A|3|16
2|Team B|3|18
3|Team C|4|20
4|Team D|3|13
5|Team E|5|23
6|Team F|4|21
7|Team G|3|25[/table]

But if you wanted it to sort by the number of matches played (descending) and then number of points, it would look like this:

[table="head;sort=3d,4;autonum=1;autonumtitle=Rank; width=12em"]#|CLUBNAME|MATCHES|POINTS
1|Team A|3|16
2|Team B|3|18
3|Team C|4|20
4|Team D|3|13
5|Team E|5|23
6|Team F|4|21
7|Team G|3|25[/table]

about the messing eveythin up, by edit, is it olso when you center the table, because it is the only time i got the mess up.

Love this mod but im having real problems getting the sorttable working properly
The table contains a lot of numbers and when you click the heading it sorts them by first digit only.

For example
1008,6,201,704,500,304,

Would be sorted to
1008,201,304,500,6,704

I'd want it to be sorted like:
6,201,304,500,704,1008

How do I make it look at the whole number?

I tried your numbers in a table and the column sorted properly. I've found that sometimes sortability is affected by blank spaces between the |'s. Check that there are no blank spaces.
