Problem Posting a table

[MajP]

I really liked the feature that allowed you to post a table. I would simply copy an Access table and paste. Was super helpful in describing problems/solutions and worked great. I can no longer get it to work. It looks good in edit mode

but in the posted mode it looks like this with some of the columns not posting and the data in td /td brackets

Reg_Number	NewEPD_Type	EPD_Percent
100	CED
100	WW
100	YW

[td]

6.00%​

[/td]​

[td]

7.00%​

[/td]​

[td]

15.00%​

[/td]​

Is there a trick to still use this feature? Is this fixable.?

Yes, I see that now too. Have to delete all the bad text below table and manually enter info into cells. Annoying.

It works OK for me - this is using an Acc2k7 table - maybe newer versions of Access have mucked up what is copied in to the C'n'P buffer?

Ouch! Scratch that!!!

The problem is that after the upgrade to a later version of Xenforo, the template I am using has not been upgraded by the developer.

The other thing I noticed was the </> function does not work as well. Before you could post some text directly in the thread then select it and hit the </> and it would appear in the code window. Or you could post some code and then reselect it to edit. This was handy if you posted some sample code and then needed to come back to it. Now if you select any text it will not appear in the window. You still can start from the window to enter new code, just not edit, or re select.

Normal paste:

TaskStatusID	Status
Status 1
Status 2

task_status

[td]

1​

[/td]​

[td]

2​

[/td]​

Only rows, no formatting:

TaskStatusID	Status
1	Status 1
2	Status 2

task_status

Now without color markups

TaskStatusID	Status
Status 1
Status 2

task_status

[td]

1​

[/td]​

[td]

2​

[/td]​

Now without font markups

TaskStatusID	Status
Status 1
Status 2

task_status

[td]

1​

[/td]​

[td]

2​

[/td]​

Now without alignment markups

TaskStatusID	Status
1	Status 1
2	Status 2

task_status

And there you have it ↑↑↑↑
It's the alignment markups. If you remove them, things are "fixed"?

 

[MajP]

@Edgar_ , Yes same problem. I guess not work around.

@Edgar_ , Yes same problem. I guess not work around.

I edited the table markups from here

Then I removed the header each cell's alignment markups, [RIGHT] and [/RIGHT]

And it shows correctly, but it takes the entire screen, I don't know if that's intentional.

Testing a bookmarklet

CityID	CityName	CountryID
1	New York	1
2	Toronto	2
3	California	1

cities

It seems to work. You can use a bookmarklet to let you post your tables properly while the devs fix the parsing issue.

Here's how to add the bookmarklet:
1. Add a bookmark to your browser
2. Name it anything
3. Add this code in the URL field:

javascript:(function(){document.getElementsByName("message")[0].value=document.getElementsByName("message")[0].value.replace(/\[RIGHT\]/g,'').replace(/\[\/RIGHT\]/g,'');})();

4. Save the bookmark

Here's how to use the bookmarklet (improved explanation by @MajP ):
1. Paste the table normally
2. Toggle BB Code by clicking the [ ] symbol in upper right corner left of Preview
3. Click on the saved bookmark to execute clean up
4. Toggle BB Code back.

EDITED.
