Hi Danny,
I placed this code in a post in my forum, but all i got was the code and no table.

	head col1	head col2	head col3
1	row1 col1	row1 col2	row1 col3
2	row2 col1	row2 col2	row2 col3

Can you please help?

Thanks.

I'm still not seeing how to do columns in a table in a thread post. vBulletin says to separate by "|"s, but when I do so, anything after the first one on a row disappears. I've been Googling how to set up a table in a post, but no clear examples of the formatting have shown up.

I can build tables easily enough in HTML, but vB is annoying me...

 

Exactly the same problem here. Any update or tutorial for dummies? Thanks!

 

Hi 2009Prius,

All your columns must be separate by "|" and every row should have the same no. of "|". Is this how you want your table to look like?

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4
0	12V	battery	check
1	IG ​	DMM	SGII	PriiDash
2	[/LEFT]
3	OFF	12.50	12.4	---[/LEFT]

Thanks! How is the title done? Mine doesn't seem to show.

 

Looks like you have to put it in Bold.

 

You have to use the head option, your 1st row will be your header. It need not be in Bold, just my personal preference.

e.g.

	12V	battery	check
1
2	Vincent

sample

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5
0	heading	A	B	C	D[/b]
1	Row 1	a	b	c	d
2	Row 2	e	f	g	h
3	Row 3	i	j	k	l

 

No questions on tables in 6 years – y'all must be more smarter than me. lol

Would any gurus still watching this thread have any suggestions.

I'm trying to add text that contains commas within into a table cell, but the commas are being interpreted as delimiters ever though I am using "|" as a delimiter which it also recognises. I thought I had successfully done this on the past by enclosing the text with quotes, but this does not work – the quotes are rendered in the cell.

So, the question is how is it done, or can it not be done.

Example:

using this code:

Code:

[TABLE=HEAD]CASE|[Left]ACTION[/LEFT]
Case 1|"When out hiking, and you only have a day pack, be sure to check the weather."[/TABLE]

The result is:

	CASE	ACTION​
1	Case 1	"When out hiking	and you only have a day pack	be sure to check the weather."

Any and all input gratefully received.

PS: I have tried many suggestions from BBCode sources as well as help on the XenForo website as well as here in this forum. A lot of the tags such as [TR] and [TD] but, it seems these are not implemented on this site.

PPS: Also didn't find any help in this thread: BB Codes. It did not even mention tables.

 

BB Code has a tag

Code:

[nobbc]  [/nobbc]

that I think acts as a code parser escape but I presume @Danny has to enable its use.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but it appears it is not implemented.

I used this code:

Code:

[TABLE=HEAD]CASE|[Left]ACTION[/LEFT]
Case 1|[nobbc]When out hiking, and you only have a day pack, be sure to check the weather.[/nobbc][/TABLE]

Which gave this result:

	CASE	ACTION​
1	Case 1	[nobbc]When out hiking	and you only have a day pack	be sure to check the weather.[/nobbc]

It seems there are a lot of bb-code tags that are not implemented in the add-on that @Danny uses.

In Help>BB-Code it suggests the tags

Code:

[PLAIN][/PLAIN]

Using this tag works both inside and outside the table, provided there are no commas.

Code:

[PLAIN]This is not [B]bold[/B] text.[/PLAIN]

renders as:
This is not [B]bold[/B] text.
When used in a table, this code

Code:

[TABLE=HEAD]CASE|[Left]ACTION[/LEFT]
Case 1|[PLAIN]When out hiking, and you only have a day pack, be sure to check the weather.[/PLAIN]
Case 2|[PLAIN]This is not [B]bold[/B] text.[/PLAIN][/TABLE]

renders as:

	CASE	ACTION​
1	Case 1	When out hiking	and you only have a day pack	be sure to check the weather.[/PLAIN]
2	Case 2	This is not [B]bold[/B] text.

It seems like an error in parsing the within the table add-on, maybe, because in Case 1 it seems like the PLAIN tag is terminated by the comma in the text, but Case 2 parses correctly.

If I add a comma to Case 2, it breaks it:

Code:

[TABLE=HEAD]CASE|[Left]ACTION[/LEFT]
Case 1|[PLAIN]When out hiking, and you only have a day pack, be sure to check the weather.[/PLAIN]
Case 2|[PLAIN]This, is not [B]bold[/B] text.[/PLAIN][/TABLE]

it renders as:

	CASE	ACTION​
1	Case 1	When out hiking	and you only have a day pack	be sure to check the weather.[/PLAIN]
2	Case 2	This	is not bold text.[/PLAIN]

Hmmm.

I guess we keep looking.

 

So there's really no easier way to post info in a table than by learning to use the code for posting?
