Edit the CSS to suit.

Thanks, should've picked up on that - all sorted.

Off the wall question here: Would it be possible to use Table BB Code to display the member list as a table (kind of like a gallery)?
If so, how would I do it?
If not, is there a way to do it?

Not with this add-on, it is for post content only.

Hi @Brogan, thanks for the add-on
first i wanted to share a website that i used to convert Office tables to BBcode - http://theenemy.dk/table/

I have an issue with the add-on, the table is coming out well, how ever it shows with allot of space from the header of the reply box (like someone pressed allot of Enters to skip lines - more than 1000 lines!!!)

thanks for replying!


The problem is showing both in the Xenforo reply box and also with the XenZine Articles addon

Hey,
I have one problem. When i use the

There is a huge space of nothing between the text and the actual table. see here: http://gyazo.com/8500579c33c1a192f8889654ab58b780 And we just use a normal code: http://gyazo.com/ed9a71632649b8ed6cb193bb0fdcaa16
and this happens in the Xencarta Wiki and a normal topic post.
any way I can change this?

You are too fast, and i am changing my rating <3

@wirtheim, it is not possible to make this work without the line break issue.

It is an issue related to the editor, not the bb code.

 

[wirtheim]

Oh...
Well... make it core (with out the br bug )

 

[Dan Hawkins]

It's not really a bug is it? It's just the editor reading everything in a Rich Editor/Text format... A line break = automatic < br > being inserted.

Does this happen if you use the BB Code Editor?

Didn't try... will do next time ill use it, Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to reliably convert excel data to table BB code so it can be used with this add-on?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, I do it all the time.

You will need to create custom spreadsheets to suit your own needs.

 

[Emil JaBo]

Great, thank you for confirming. I have instances where members have information contained in excel in tables and they copy and paste it directly into the posting text editor and clean it up a bit to look sort of ok but it doesn't look as clean and concise as a proper table. This add-on presents the data in a very neat way. Would you mind giving me a brief explanation of the process of creating the table in the text editor using excel data? Is it easy enough for me to leave it to forum members to do on their own whenever they wish to enter a section of their excel tables?
