Could you provide more details? Are you referring to the CLI test site or the main site? ''cos I don't think I ever backported any use case functionality back to the main site.

Th preview is fixed (thanks) , but the edit isn't yet. The tags flow outside the edit field.

Hi Andrew, Working with the php table tags is a pain, especially with large tables like the Index.

Is there a better/simpler way to do it? I would suggest HTML code embedding, but it eats a lot of characters (like php) for tags, and I hit the 60k mark with relatively little data.

If it is not easy to do in the forum, can there be a special page in the site for the tool index that a user like me can edit?

Thanks

I don't quite understand what you are referring to.

Are you trying to add a large table to a forum post, or a large table to a database entry?

Do you have an example of what kind of table you are trying to add?

The forum (or the site but separate from the entries) .

Something like this.

Ideally it would be sortable, filterable etc, but a static table should do for now.

Thanks. I do have a tool on my desktop for the conversion. The constant editing and updating is the more cumbersome part.

I wish there was a way to set column size in forum tables.

Maybe define a new tag eg. [tdw=xx] that specifies the <td> width in percentage? The other size unit for width is pixel value, which I don't is appropriate to use.

I think it would cause a problem with mobile phones, so maybe yeah, % is better.

Whatever you see fit, I think it needs two things:

1. A way to apply t to the whole column.
2. % of regular post width, not screen (or else it would be too wide).

Code: Select all

[table]
[tr]
[tdw=70]70% of table[/tdw]
[td]Regular[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[tdw=70]Row 2, Column 1[/tdw]
[td]Row 2, Column 2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
yields:
70% of table Regular
Row 2, Column 1 Row 2, Column 2

Doesn't work if table has headers (th) 😕


Since it is gonna apply to the whole column, why not [thw]?
