fyi. . . If you install the “TinyMCE Advanced” plug in Wordpress, then go to “Settings” in wp-admin, click on “TinyMCE Advanced,” you can drag the “table” functionality (and others as well) into your toolbar setup. Hope this helps!
Does anyone know of a “Table” plugin that DOES WORK with version 2.8.3 or 2.8.3. Go Daddy gives Wordpress away with all hosting plans and they have installed the latest version. A plugin that doesn’t work with the latest version of wordpress seems worthless to me ??
just found a replacement plugin: It’s called TinyMCE Advanced:
http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/tinymce-advanced/
works great!
I’ve tried it in WP 2.8.4 and like others said, it doesn’t work. Any chance you could port TinyTable to 2.8 now? Would really love it.
Or maybe you could outline what needs to be done code-wise to make it work with 2.8.4? Like this, someone else could start porting your plugin to 2.8.
Table support in WP’s TinyMCE is really lacking. Whoever at WP decided to remove table support should be kicked off the project.
Too bad! I also installed it on WP latest version 2.8.4. Same thing, it doesn’t appear.
Well, thank you Tom anyway, and I understand you have other priorities!
I would love to fix it work with current WordPress versions, but at this stage it’s unfortunately there a quite a number of development tasks I’ve got in front of this. Sorry.
I installed Tiny Table Version 0.0.2 on WordPress 2.8.3. and I can’t seem to get it to show on the editor tool bar. Have you, or do you have plans to test Tiny Table Version 0.0.2 on WP 2.8.3? Please let me know if I’m missing something. Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Are you planning on doing any testing in WP 2.8.2. I’ve installed the plugin, but am not seeing the table button.
Thanks.
Hi Daryl, I haven’t tested it with WP 2.8.2. Sorry.
I installed the tiny table plugin into WP Version 2.8.2 and I can’t seen to get it to show on the editor tool bar? I am guessing is it something easy and obvious????
Great plugin– thanks!!!
Here’s something weird, though. When I change the top row to be a “header” row, it comes out looking like this:
test
header
test
data
This started out as a 2 col, 2 row table. Any idea what happened to the ,, and tages? Did the MCE editor eat them?
I can’t see the button either.
I’m using WP 2.3.1
Hi, i would like to thank you for this great plugin. Before i was spending a lot of time creating beautiful tables but now i have a lot of spare time.
Hi,I use WP 2.2.1, when i activate the plug I get no table buttons (no change) with FFox, i tried with IE6: the plug makes all my buttons deasapear. when i desctivate the plug the buttons come back, i use a modified version of the Rounded 1.0 theme and Akismet, all in one seo, google site map and next gen gallery plugs. I’m not a really experimented user. Any idea?
First of all, thanks for developing this
But I have a weird problem. I made a table, and it worked fine. Then I decided to add a background image to every other row. Did it with the first one to check, which worked. Then I added the background image to the rest of the rows, but it didn’t work. Contrary: all of a sudden random rows just started disappearing… Very weird, and I can’t figure out an explanation.
Other plugins I have activated are Contact Form 7, Lightbox JS v2.03.3 Plugin and Sub Pages widget.
HI, Just installed this on WP 2.3.1 and there is an issue with it expanding the editor box. When you activate the advanced options, the table toolbar knocks down underneath the original tools. But when it is not activated it pushes everything to the right. Is this a known issue? I can post a screeny if needed.
Ha…just read up…seems to be a known issue but haven’t seen a fix yet…I am also running WP on 1024 x 768 res.
Hello, I tried your plugin (WP 2.2.1), but there are some errors and problems after activating:
1) First two buttons in visual editor disappear (bold and italics) in Firefox (in IE7 are there but without images).
2) There is no post text visible (even if was written some days ago) and all buttons has (tables or standard buttons) following desrciption – for example{$lang_table_cols} (and not for example Table columns).
3) New buttons for tables are visible OK but also with strange titles and desription.
4) In IE7 there is following error:
Line: 1704
Char: 3
Error: Object required
Code: 0
URL: http://some.domain/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=486
yes I am
What browser/browser version are you using?
I am using wordpress 2.2.2 and installedthe plugin, activated it but don’t see anything new in the formatting bar
Silly question, you are using the visual editor, correct?
Hi,
I have WP 2.2.1 and have no other plug-ins installed and do not get the tiny-table plug-in to show in the editing bar. Im on OSX using FF 2.0.0.6. Weird that its not showing at all. I have activation set in the plug-in panel.
could you also try the change I’ve suggested above to torgeir and let me know if that helps?
Hi Tom,
I tried what you suggested and it did not work. I am also trying to use Real WYSIWYG as well. I tried activating and deactivating them to be on together and each running independently with NO other plugins activated. Very odd that both of these will not work at all.
Again running WP 2.2.1
OSX 10.4.9
using FF 2.0.0.6 (with many add-ons) Could the browser add-ons be causing the issue?
Strange. Do you have the Firebug FF plugin installed? Do you notice any JS errors when you load the editing page?
Hi Tom,
I do have it installed and enabled. However, I don’t get any JS errors when using WP.
I went ahead and disabled all my plug-ins/add-ons restarted FF in its ‘naked’ form and still no luck with getting the tiny table plugin or the Real wysiwyg plugin.
Perhaps its just not meant to be?
I’ve just tried the plugin on my 2.2.3 install which resulted in the wysiwyg button bar being completely removed.
Deactivating the plugin restored the wysiwyg button bar.
The other plugins I’ve installed on my blog are :
- Anarchy Media Player 2.0 beta ( http://an-archos.com/anarchy-media-player )
- Audio Player 1.2.3 ( http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ )
- Subscribe2 3.7 ( http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/ )
Not sure what the problem is, but could you try removing the line
from tiny-table.php and let me know if that helps?
that fixed it, thanks!
Nice little plugin, thank you.
Are you aware of the display problem if screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or less? The buttons push the editor box out so it overlaps with the post options at the side, causing problems with scrolling.
No, actually, it is still there, look to the right of the table, you can see the adsense and the last of the posting hidden behind the right side bar, it was supposed to be underneath the chart.
Somehow the right sidebar is fine, I have no clue how that happened.
hmmm… I can’t see any problem in firefox, though you do have a number of validation errors. What browser are you using?
That could be it, I am using the IE7 browser. I will check out the validation issues over at w3 and see what is causing it.
Thanks for bringing up the validation errors, I should have known it would be possible that a free WP theme might have validation issues.
Do you want me to send you a screenshot of what I am seeing?
I had a look in IE 7 and I see your problem. For some reason IE 7 is `floating’ your table. Adding
after your table fixes the problem.
I like your TinyTable plugin. It makes for a neat clean presentation. The only problem is the end of the table seems to be interferring with the closing of the post. See my posting for a visual, I have entered it into my URI here for you to look at.
As you can see, the table looks beautiful, it just somehow kicked my adsense over to the side forcing it to push my sidebar to the bottom. Is there a close tag missing?
Looks like you fixed whatever the problem was. What was the problem in the end?
Earlier today I reported Tiny Table 0.0.1
when installed prevented Tiny MCE format bar from displaying.
I have discovered the problem to be the Plugin Subscribe2 Verision 3.6 to be the problem.
Not sure what the fix would be unless I can find an alternative to Subscribe2
I’ll test in with subscribe2 3.6 and let you know how I go.
Thanks,
I will be interested to discover if you have the same problem.
I installed Tiny Table WP Ver 2.2.1
Theme Vistered Little 1.7.5
When Activated Formatting bar disapears.
Is this version of Tiny Table Compatible
wit WP 2.2.1
Do I need to have a certain WP version for this to work? I installed it with WP2.2 and I’m getting nothing added in the formatting bar.
I’ve just noticed a similar problem when I installed it on this blog (on my local dev blog it worked fine). I’ve tracked down the issue and hope to have an updated version available shortly.
OK, 0.0.1 should do the trick. Let me know if you still have problems.
Thanks. Works like a charm.
I had the same trouble with Tiny Style, so perhaps you can apply the same fix to that?
Yep, that’s next on my todo list (along with fixing my other tiny plugins).
In Firebug, there is a “Net” tab. When you load the editing page, can you check to see if tiny-table.js gets loaded.
Re: RealWYSIWYG, what theme are you using?
Hi Tom,
Yes it did show as loading.
For RealWYSIWYG I am using the default Firefox theme.
Thanks for your persistence with me on this!
Strange, strange, strange. I’ve created an account on your blog (username tom). If you want you can give me “Contributor” permissions, and I can try to find out what’s going wrong (I won’t post or delete anything). Otherwise feel free to delete the account.
Regarding Real WYSIWYG, I’ve posted a reply over on the Real WYSIWYG page.
