I need to be able to edit tables that I have put into the WYSIWYG content. I have found that all these options are available: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php

I have upgraded my tinyMCE but nothing has changed, I have also removed the cache file for tinyMCE.

My client will need to be able to edit the tables easily and at the moment they can't add rows etc.

Hi there,

By default, the Table Editor is included in the CMS Builder WYSIWYG editor -- if you hover over it with nothing selected, it should say "Inserts a New Table", and clicking it will bring up the Insert/Modify window so you can edit an existing table.

If you go to the online demo, can you see the Table editor option? Try here:

Hi, Yes I have that ability but once you have put a table in it won't let you edit it by adding new rows etc. I don't want to have to add a new table there is a tiny change to make, I know that my client would want to add a row or take a row out as the page with the table on will be updated weekly.

Hi there,

You can definitely add new rows! Try right clicking on the table for more options -- you can insert new rows & columns, delete rows, and otherwise modify any aspect of the table through that menu. :)

Hi

I work on a Mac so you can't right click, it doesn't work if you control click either, It is working on a PC now but I think that's only because I updated the tinyMCE, it didn't work before. How do I get it working on a Mac.

Hi,

You can add all the table custmization buttons to the WYSIWYG toolbar like this:
- open /lib/wysiwyg.php

Find this:

theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",

Change to this:

 theme_advanced_buttons3 : "table,tablecontrols,row_props,cell_props,delete_col,delete_row,col_after,col_before,row_after,row_before,split_cells,merge_cells",

Also, remove "table" from the 2nd row of buttons, "theme_advanced_buttons2 : "

All the advance table buttons will appear not active until you click inside a table, then you can use the table buttons.

Try it out and let me know if that helps.
