NRehman April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I'm trying to create a table in a thread. Does anyone know how to do this? 5 colums with multiple rows. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ward April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I'm trying to create a table in a thread. Does anyone know how to do this? 5 colums with multiple rows. Thanks! I worked on that for a while. Best I can tell it can't be done. The editing field won't take HTML and the built-in editor doesn't have a column feature. Even more annoying, when you add spaces to try and align everything, the extra spaces are all deleted when it posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRehman April 28, 2008 Author Share April 28, 2008 I'll try it an see... Thanks! However, can't we create a table? Why does the "code" button not work with HTML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltwayBandit April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 I was doing some digging on this. Tables have not been defined in the bb code for this board. I do not know about enabling html code. I don't know that we will do that. I can create the code for tables, however I don't know that it will be all that useful. I'm sure there are people who know how to code a table in html, but I would guess that most don't. on another note.. I was playing around and did add one new feature! Yes it is annoying and silly, but I'm sure folks around here will have fun with it. [move] insert moving text here [/move] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeltwayBandit April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 wow, thanks craig! that's a completely useless and annoying feature! Thank you. I think. I was mostly just playing around with the bbcode to see how it works. I am going to try and implement the table functions as well, they are a bit more complicated than my first attempt. I can get the basic functions in, but it would require a knowledge of html programing to write a table. I'm trying to work on making/finding a script that will make it more user friendly.

jakaufman April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 (edited) I think that adding an image of a table from excel will be your best bet. the effort of taking a screenshot and putting it online isn't as much as coding a table in the boards the moving text is fun though Edited April 28, 2008 by jakaufman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ward April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 if i could just do html code to do a table, that would be convenient. can we make that an option? i can actually code them much quicker than the excel screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almon April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 if i could just do html code to do a table, that would be convenient. can we make that an option? i can actually code them much quicker than the excel screenshot. I agree. Using tables to format the post would be a great improvement. Also enabling the <object> tag would be cool, then we could post YouTube videos without going to YouTube.

treesprite April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 Supposedly is you put a piece of html in UBB tags it will work, but I've never personally tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeltwayBandit April 29, 2008 Share April 29, 2008 if i could just do html code to do a table, that would be convenient. can we make that an option? i can actually code them much quicker than the excel screenshot. Quite possibly. I would need to check with those who have more power than I before turning that on. (I also need to double check that IPB actually allows html tags, I think it does but I would have to check). Supposedly is you put a piece of html in UBB tags it will work, but I've never personally tried it. Nope. It won't work. UBB code tags have to be defined, they do not default to html. Of course, the definition is usually html, since most people are familiar with that. However, the move tag that I just made is actually a shortcut for a much longer html code string. I agree. [b]Using tables to format the post would be a great improvement[/b]. Also enabling the [b]<object>[/b] tag would be cool, then we could post YouTube videos without going to YouTube. Thanks for the input. I actually looked at enabling the <object> tag, I just need to clear it through the powers that be first. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal April 29, 2008 Share April 29, 2008 Enabling use of HTML within forums exposes a lot of security risks for the board and users. As a result, most boards default to bb code only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
