[Important!] New plugin: Tables.

New plugin time!

Today, I give you tables. A bbcode plugin that enables you to post tables when the need arises. I know this isn't the coolest or most exciting feature, but staff requested it. So, that means you guys get to play with it, too!

Disclaimer: As with any feature, do not abuse this. Play with it all you want in this thread but try not to make massive tables or anything like that or we'll have to implement restrictions that make this less fun Whatever rules the mods place on posting tables is up to them.

Here are the instructions from the plugin author. Have fun making sense of it. If this is tl;dr for you as it is for me, skip it and look below.

The whole option list should be wrapped with quotes.
Options are seperated by a semicolon
If an option has a value it is assigned with "equal to" mark. (option2)
If the value contains blanks or special characters it has to be wrapped with apostrophes. (option3)
If an option has more than one value they are seperated by a comma. (option4)

Description of options:
head
This option defines the first line as head, so the first row is shown as head of the table. If the table sould be sorted, the head is not sorted.

sort=1d,2,3
This defines the table to be sorted by column 1, then column 2, then column 3. The "d" after the first colum specifies the order: descending (default: ascending)

autonum=1 (equal to autonum) autonum=a autonum=A
Defines that a new first column containing a numbering should be inserted.
1 -> 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , 999, 1000, ....
a -> a, b, c, ... , aa, ab, ... , zz
A -> A, B, C, ... , AA, BB, ... , ZZ

autonumtitle=oneword autonumtitle='long value with spaces'
Defines the title of the autonum-column. Can be left empty.

width=123px width=45em width=67%
Defines the width of the table.

Most of the time, you won't even need to worry about that stuff. Here's a simple table that should work for most of what you'd want a table for.

head col1	head col2	head col3
row1 col1	row1 col2	row1 col3
row2 col1	row2 col2	row2 col3

Here is what the bbcode looks like.

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

Notice the | separating stuff.

I know this doesn't exactly look that pretty in the Temple theme (lol, temple, I know) but in the themes you guys actually use it looks great.

Play around, figure it out, have fun :3

This is cool	This is epic	Go Aniday!	Weeeee!
Test 1	Test 2	Test 3	ZU
Hello	goodbye	what	Catcha!

Just playing around with it. This is pretty cool!

Y	Y	Y
Y	A	Y
Y	Y	Y

...who's thinking we make a Community Crossword?

because we need SOME SORT OF REASON to use this

Favourite wizard.

+20 experience points for aniday, but still not a lvl 41

Only issue I have is that the button seems to be broken.

Whenever the higher ups get around to fixing the ftp login for me (evidentially broken from the server move) I'd be glad to upload the image the button needs.

oh so it's jason's fault, okay

I thought everything was Jason's fault until proved otherwise

That is a reasonable assumption, yes.

hooray! good job homogay. <3

Holy	♥♥♥♥	It's	A	Table

lolwut?

Too complex for me, but I'm sure if I ever need to use it I can count on someone to assist.

Aw man. This coding still won't work:

[table width="600" height="300"][tr][td background="http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/12/61/67/57/paiwun10.jpg" valign="top"]
[table]
[tr][td width="366"][td width="200" valign="middle"height="200"][center]
[font="Helvetica"][size="2"][color="#CC4400"][b]


You're fascinating indeed. :lol:


[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center][/td][/td][/tr][/table]
[/td][/tr][/table]

Where tested, it became:

[table width="600" height="300"][tr][td background="http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/12/61/67/57/paiwun10.jpg" valign="top"]

[tr][td width="366"][td width="200" valign="middle"height="200"]

You're fascinating indeed.

[/td][/td][/tr]

[/td][/tr][/table]

Why would it? That looks nothing like the explanation up top. This isn't HTML, you can't just replace < with [.

BB=/=html

though out of curiosity, can html be used in posts? I've noticed in the options "disable html" or something, though I don't know if I've ever seen anyone use it before (aside from Aniday last week, but he's a wizard )

I was just testing the table BBcode usable in another forum (that I have left since 2011).

I thought the new Table plugin would allow the same table BBcode implementation just like that forum.

I am sorry about that.
