Nope. Sorry, BSquared. Tables are not an option because A) I'm not convinced the custom BBCode is entirely secure, B) because that custom BBCode is complicated to use and I really don't have the time to teach people how to use it and/or trouble shoot problems I know most people will have, and C) because depending on how someone configures a table within a thread it might affect (stretch maybe?) the layout of the page frames. To demonstrate my point about complexity, here's an example of what you'd have to manipulate in order to add a simple table to a thread:BSquared wrote:I tried to compose a table in a PM today, but apparently the [table] bbcodes were ignored (and came out in the preview as "[table]," just as they do in this posting). Which bbcode codes are supported here? Just the ones in the little square boxes on the posting pages? In my quest, I went to the FAQ, which says something about a link on the posting page to bbcode help, and I couldn't find that, either.

OK, points well taken (although I did find a page that would generate the BBCode for you if you typed in a more "normal" table). Tabs don't seem to work, either. How would you advise someone who wanted to post, say, a schedule of one's projected JMT hike?ERIC wrote:...To demonstrate my point about complexity, here's an example of what you'd have to manipulate in order to add a simple table to a thread:

Yes, the BBCode help section link is on the posting page. It's a text link located just below the red devil emoticon. Here's a shortcut to the link to make it easier: faq.php?mode=bbcode" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
BBCode tags in phpBB3 will only work if the associated html replacement has been added to the BBCode admin area.BSquared wrote:...(although I did find a page that would generate the BBCode for you if you typed in a more "normal" table).
I've added a simple 3 column and a simple 2 column BBCodes you can play with. The buttons are named "col3" and "col2" and are next to the "Font colour" button in the posting screen. Here's an example of the 3 column code.:BSquared wrote:Tabs don't seem to work, either. How would you advise someone who wanted to post, say, a schedule of one's projected JMT hike?
Code: Select all
[col3]This is the first column. I hope you really enjoy reading the important content of this first column.|This is the second column. I really hope you enjoy reading the important content of this second column.|This is the third column. I really hope you enjoy reading the important content of this third and final column.[/col3]| This is the first column. I hope you really enjoy reading the important content of this first column. | This is the second column.

Your other option is to attach an Excel spreadsheet to your post.BSquared wrote:Tabs don't seem to work, either. How would you advise someone who wanted to post, say, a schedule of one's projected JMT hike?
If you have a two column list, you use the "col2" BBCode button mentioned above. And unfortunately, no, there's no way to simply cut and paste from an Excel spreadsheet or Word doc with columns and place the content into a column BBCode. Also keep in mind these are column BBCodes, not table BBCodes. An example two column list would be typed something like this:rlown wrote:ok.. Thought of a simple problem with the example. :retard: If i have, let's say a two column list in excel or word, and i want to post it as a table using the "col3" example, i must decouple the table into the two separate columns and then work madly at the spacing between the columns, esp if i want spacing between the items. There's no way to just import from either excel or word into a "table" area?
