Steph Jensen Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Some of my users are asking for an option to include tables or spreadsheets in their posts. The site is about racing, so they need a way to organize and present racing results through the site. There are multiple options for this, like embedding google spreadsheets or exporting a MS excel sheet, but this does not seem to work when the post is published. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFractal Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 If you want the ability to create simple tables in blog and forum posts, this is really controlled by the editor. There are buttons you can add to CKEditor to provide table functions. Visit ckeditor.com and run a search for tables. This should get you started: https://ckeditor.com/addon/table There are also other added functions for tables which rely on this core table addon.

Do you know what version of CKEditor comes with IPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always find out the version currently used from your AdminCP: click Customization / Toolbars (under the Editor heading), then click the Add Button button at the top-left (a bit tedious just to find out the CKeditor version number I know, but that's the only way I know of ). The current version in use is 4.7.1. And if you go down this road, one tip: if you've added many buttons to your editor (as I have), it helps to take a screenshot of your completed editor layout once it's done and save the image somewhere; if you have to start from scratch, then you'll remember the button layout you had before. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Jensen Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Great thanks! I'm guessing that this is where I add plug ins to the editor too? I tired uploading the plug ins to the ckeditor plug in folder through FTP but I couldn't figure out how to make it load them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Jensen Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Excellent, and thanks! There are so many extra options for that ckeditor! This will take some time, to get the right features. Thank you all for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
