Adding Tables to Posts
I know we've all wanted to add a simple chart, excel type format, and the like to our posts but how vB is setup, it's a very hard to thing to do and make it look good. We've added a new bbcode which will allow you to add tables to your posts with ease.
Here is how we used to do it in the past when posting a simple schedual without tables; CEO – Goofyport...ET: 8:00am ... CT: 7:00am ... MT: 6:00am ... PT: 5:00am ... GMT : 12:00pm V.P. – Boingy Summit...ET: 9:00am ... CT: 8:00am ... MT: 7:00am ... PT: 6:00am ... GMT : 1:00pm CFO – Giggly Bay...ET: 9:45am ... CT: 8:45am ... MT: 7:45am ... PT: 6:45am ... GMT : 1:45pm C.J. – Crazyham...ET: 10:30am ... CT: 9:30am ... MT: 8:30am... PT: 7:30am ... GMT : 2:30pm Can now be easily converted to a nice reference table
= is the new shortcut on the post editor to help you get started with tables. When you click on it, it'll simple add [TABLE][/TABLE] to your post or wrapped around anything you have highlighted. You'll want to use "|" symbol to put between your different values to create your columns with. example: [table="head"]Boss|District|ET|CT|MT|PT|GMT CEO|Goofyport|8:00am|7:00am|6:00am|5:00am|12:00pm V.P.|Boingy Summit|9:00am|8:00am|7:00am|6:00am|1:00pm CFO|Giggly Bay|9:45am|8:45am|7:45am|6:45am|1:45pm C.J.|Crazyham|10:30am|9:30am|8:30am|7:30am|2:30pm[/table] or you can get really fancy with some html coding to the header to create the table at the top of this post.
coding example: [table="head;sort=3d,2;autonumtitle=rank;width=15em "]name|age|points Nicky|34|300 Marvin|28|482 Nadja|12|85 Tom|56|- Nadja|30|300 Henry|46|298[/table] Notice how the above example auto-sorted your entries on the table. It may seem a little complex but with some practice, trial, and error, you'll get the hang of it. |
