CTA Table BB Code 1.1.1

[Andy.N]

Thank you very much @Steve F and @Brogan
It was a css I use to hide the extra table column in small screen. I wonder how I can use this bbcode [container] on that table.

 

[Rost35]

How do you use excel to get the bbcode?

 

[Paul B]

You still have to manualy enter all of the tags and content.
The concatenation function just makes it easier.

I installed this add-on per your instructions, in xenforo 1.2. Afterwards I realized it needed to be used with 1.3, I upgraded to 1.3.
1) Is this ok?
2) How do I make a table? An example would be helpful.

There's an example in this post: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/cta-table-bb-code.68237/page-2#post-720797

I noticed that linebreaks aren't nulled, so you can't use:

[table]
[tr]
[th]header1[/th]
[th]header2[/th]
[th]header3[/th]
[th]header4[/th]
[tr]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Without getting a lot of <br />'s above the table. You have to do this...

[table][tr][th]header1[/th][th]header2[/th][th]header3[/th][th]header4[/th][tr][td]something1[/td][td]something1[/td][td]something1[/td][td]something1[/td][/tr][/table]

But that's a trivial and expected issue with all the bbcodes.

I tried pasting this code (both versions) into the reply reply box in a thread, but the resulting post is just the code. Do I need to do something else?

 

[Big_Dog]

Bump. Please explain how to create a table using this add-on, keeping in mind that I'm a novice.

 

[Paul B]

Follow the instructions in the resource.

Create the table BB Code as per the example posted above.

I believe I did exactly that. First I followed these instructions:

1. Download and unzip
2. Import the .xml like any other add-on (not via the Import Custom BB Codes option)
3. Add this line to the top of EXTRA.css: <xen:include template="cta_bbcode.css" />

Then I pasted this text in the post box, both as normal text and as code:

[table]
[tr]
[th]header1[/th]
[th]header2[/th]
[th]header3[/th]
[th]header4[/th]
[tr]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[td]something1[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

What am I doing wrong? Does EXTRA.css need to have more than just the single line of code (<xen:include template="cta_bbcode.css" />) maybe?

 

[Big_Dog]

anyone?

 

[Paul B]

What's the problem?

 

[Big_Dog]

Please read my previous post.

 

[Paul B]

I have.

If you follow the instructions it will work.
Many of us are using this BB Code with no issues.

Hey @Brogan is there a way (SQL) where I can find all old posts with

tag and remove the line brakes to remove the <br> tags from appearing above the tables?

My XF install was imported from VB which has multiple table in various posts.

I am also planning to run the below SQL queries because most of the tables are not displaying because of the class

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message,'[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]<tbody>','[CONTAINER][TABLE]');

and

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message,'</tbody>[/TABLE]','[/TABLE][/CONTAINER]');

Edit: Added [CONTAINER] to minimize stuff breaking on mobiles

 

[Paul B]

SELECT * FROM xf_post where message LIKE '%[table]%'

 

[CountRock]

SELECT * FROM xf_post where message LIKE '%[table]%'

Anyway to remove the line breaks?

 

[Paul B]

It could probably be done with a custom script.

Otherwise it would have to be done manually.

Thanks, after running the find script around 22 posts have tables! Manual edits it is!

How do I remove the table borders please?

 

[Paul B]

Edit the CSS to suit.
