I am in the process of writing a thread, and I want to include some tables.

I have attempted text tables in code blocks, but those, unfortunately, have a max-height. A Pastebin-embed could work, but those only embed in light mode. Then there's the option to embed an image, but I would much prefer it if the thread viewer could copy/paste data from the tables and that the content is searchable and indexable.

Thus, hereby my suggestion to add table support. Thank you.

Here's an example implementation I found on MyBB by sarisisop.

You can also make it with Mycode if you don't want to use a plugin.

Configuration > Mycode > Add new mycode. You need to make 4

Table

Code

\[table\=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/table\]

Code

<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tborder" style="width:$1%;">$2</table>

Table Header

Code

\[th\](.*?)\[/th\]

Code

<th class="tcat" align="middle"><strong>$1</strong></th>

Table Row

Code

\[tr\](.*?)\[/tr\]

Code

<tr>$1</tr>

Table Data

Code

\[td\](.*?)\[/td\]

Code

<td class="trow1" valign="top" align="center">$1</td>

To use:

This gives the table

Code

[table=NAME] [/table]

This gives a row.

Code

[tr] [/tr]

This gives a header column

Code

[th] [/th]

This gives content

Code

[td] [/td]

Change NAME to suit.

---

Example:

Code

[table=test]
[tr][th]Vegetable[/th][th]Meat[/th][/tr]
[tr][td]Onion[/td][td]Beef[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Just add more sections as needed.

Have fun.

Idea taken from other threads on this forum.

I personally suggest finding a way to do this without a table.

That is my last resort if this suggestion doesn't work out. Thanks for your reply!

I really don't want that mess of a code on the site.

I'd consider something like a way to embed Google Sheets maybe?

Would you find that helpful? The cool thing is that it's iframe'd and means you could update in real time your table.

That's something I can see working and will say yes to! It would be nice to have tables without having to go through hell to format them correctly.

would be fascinating to have that on the site correctly

Google sheets could be very useful , Going to follow this thread to see where it goes.
