XF 2.2 Tables: Properties and Color

[Gsk8]

Coming from VB, we are seeing major differences in Tables. See below. Is there a way to do this in XF? Thanks!

1. Table properties can no longer be defined. Especially missed are "class" which allows full grid, outer border, and no grid; and width, which could be defined relatively as percentage of page width or absolutely as pixel count.
2. colspan, as a modifier for [TD], allowing a table entry to take up multiple columns is also missed.
3. Also bgcolor (background color), also a TD modifier, is missed.

The built in table function in the editor doesn't have support for that.

Thanks Brogan. Are you familiar with any add-ons for this?

Not personally, but you can check here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/

• Click the TABLE BBcode button to insert a table
• Click the code button to enter code mode instead of WYSIWYG
• At the top of the table, edit the [TABLE] line so it reads, for example, [TABLE="class: grid, width: 60%"]

text1	text2	text3
row2	row2	row2
row3	row3	row3

This used to work. Apparently not with XF 2.2.

This would have been really helpful. Was it an add-on?

No. It was just an edit in the code view of the message box.

I THINK that used to work on XF 2.1.x.

I ported that trick over from vBulletin 4.2.5
