Table in thread

[Limerick]

Hello all,

I'd like to know if it is possible to insert a table in thread.
I've seen forums (don't remember which, maybe SMF) where it was possible to choose number of lines and columns with the mouse, the way it is possible to do with MS Word.

My question is, in fact, to know how it is possible to put words (or phrases) in an ordered manner in a thread. (Not sure to be clear...sorry ).

For instance, it is possible to use indent, but it will be for the whole line. I'd like to do it just for the next words.

See this example below :

1st thing : Word #1
Second thing : Word#2
Third thing : Word #3

What I'd like, is to have all my 3 Words to be aligned, without adding spaces to do so.

Does anyone understand what I'm trying to say

Tables are not possible without enabling HTMl code (not recommended). If you want to preserve formatting for tabs then you can use a code block:

	1	2	3
1	a	b	c
2	d	e	f

Thank you Jake for your answer.

So it is not possible to format a text easily ?!?

[Jake Bunce]

You have to use something besides tables unless you enable HTML.

Why don't you reccommend enabling HTML?

Limerick, I forget the link but there are hacks in the vbulletin.org search there.

Enabling HTML has serious security issues.
I've seen multiple forums hacked because the admin allowed HTML.

[ang2el]

Thanks Colin F I won't allow html.

This is something I've sought myself for a couple of years. Even bbcode-based tables create their own problems (mainly administrative overhead).

Hello ang2el,

Thanks for your reply.
I will search on vB.org (I think I did before), but do you this hack needs HTML to be enabled ?

[ang2el]

no, it doesn't need HTML to be enabled, its a BB Code hang on let me see it........


Yh, I got the XML file I install it in my 3.5.4 but its still working in 3.6. I forget its link in the VB thanks to the gentle man who created this mode.

I have attached the XML file you can upload it and use the code according to the image and you will get the result.

How it works :
1) starting code is - table lines separated by line break
- each line can have 7 styles. To specify a style add in the beginning number and ^ symbol without spaces
example:
2^
you may skip 7^ - it is default (alt1) style
- cells in line separated by |
- there is no need to add | before first and after last cell
- each cell can have each own align. Use align mark as a first symbol of cell without spaces
blank (default) - left
= - center
~ - right
- if number of cells different in lines, last cell of shorter lines will get colspan= with needed number
so table in post may look like
[table 1 3 0]
1|2|test 16798789789797979799879797979|4|5|6|7
1^~right with colspan
2^333|=center with colspan
3^1|2|left with colspan
4^1|=center without colspan|3|4|5|6|7
5^1|blablabla|3|4|5
6^1|2|3|4|5|6|7
[/table]

I could get another table code link at vbulleting.org its http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=107985 according to your need you can use anyone.

Thanks to those who created.

But I wonder why VBulleting don't think about integrating table code by themselves.

[forteanajones]

Not to be a tattle tale or anything, but I thought it was not OK to upload products and plugins to this .com site.

Regarding why vBulletin doesn't have this particular feature, I'm pretty sure they have a roadmap and have to prioritize for development. I bet there's a long list of things they themselves would also like to include that have to get scheduled.

limerick wanted to have a table code, didn't find the link so uploaded, I think moderator will do the needful.
