table bbcodes broken on the forum?

Not sure where to put this so off topic is as good a place as any...

 

I'm trying to create a for sale post containing a table of items to sell but the table bbcode is not working properly.

Using the default table properties I get this:

 

[table=width: 500]

[tr]

[td]a[/td]

[td]b[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]1[/td]

[td]2[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]3[/td]

[td]4[/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

 

This tells me that the table bbcode is working but the th, tr and td ones are not.

 

You can work around it by using tabs (you'll need to copy a tab character from somewhere else) to separate columns and crlf's to denote each line (but this isn't neat is hard to maintain and there's no guarantee that it will continue to work when the bbcodes are fixed):

 

No code has to be inserted here.

 

edit: Also, the [tr] bits count towards your character limit whereas when they're actually seen as a table this is not the case.

 

Can anyone offer any insight into a fix (if I'm doing something wrong) or is there anyone I can / should pm to get this looked at?

 

thanks,

 

Russell.

I'm confused...

 

the table code is working as you created an AB1234 table.

 

The forum doesnt allow HTML code in posts as it means people can force code, formatting and other stuff in to the forum.

 

Are you saying the TR TD stuff used to work? If so is there a post where I can see it?

The previous vb3.8.4 BBCode was an additional, user-contributed, feature. Within v4.x, which this site is running as the Table BBCode as part of the core setup, and the syntax is different.

 

The code itself is different, for example, to make a 1x4, centered table, you'd need to write:

 

[ TABLE=width: 500, align: center]

[ TR]

[ TD][/TD]

[ TD][/TD]

[ TD][/TD]

[ TD][/TD]

[ /TR]

 

[/TABLE]

 

*just remove the initial space

That's so weird.

 

If I go advanced and then click the table button I get the text in this image (I've added 1 and 2)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]200290[/ATTACH]

 

and this is how it comes out...

 

 

[table=width: 500]

[tr]

[td]1[/td]

[td]2[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td][/td]

[td][/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td][/td]

[td][/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

And doing this:

Gives me this:

 

[TABLE=width: 500, align: center]

[TR]

[TD]1[/TD]

[TD]2[/TD]

[TD]3[/TD]

[TD]4[/TD]

[/TR]

 

[/TABLE]

The only way I can get the table working as in my first post id by doing this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]200292[/ATTACH]

 

which gives me this:

 

No code has to be inserted here.

 

I mainly use chrome 43.0.2357.18 beta-m (64-bit) but I've also tried IE 11.

I've tried upper and lower case as you can see above and nothing seems to work.

 

Could someone post a table as a text file that they know works so I can post the same and see what happens please?

 

Thanks for your help by the way.

In fact, even quoting Steve gives a pipe delimited version:

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]200293[/ATTACH]

 

[table=head;sort=1]No.|Member Name|Car Type

1|Branners|Supra

2|Gaz|Mini

3|Steve|Supra

4|JohnnyG|Datsun

 

 

[/table]

 

 

I can definitely work with this but it just seems wrong and doesn't work as johnny g suggests...

This is the way steve built the table (just stick a square bracket on the start)

 

table="head;sort=1"]No.|Member Name|Car Type

1|Branners|Supra

2|Gaz|Mini

3|Steve|Supra

4|JohnnyG|Datsun

 

 

[/table]

 

Yep, that's what I'll do but it's just strange that the helpful button that generates the table gives bbcode that doesn't work. The bbcode just doesn't seem to work on this forum for me.

 

That said, if I have a solution that I can work with then work with it I shall.

 

Thanks all.
