Table size (columns and rows)

Caribe_Soy · January 7, 2017 at 4:33 PM

I'm not sure this is a bug but I didn't get an answer to my post and I really hope it's not working "as intended": when inserting a table (even here at WoltLab) we can't define the number of columns and rows, by default a table with 2 rows and 3 columns is inserted. Being unable to define the size of table before inserting it, it's a problem for medium and big tables, it's really annoying adding rows and columns one by one.

I don't think you can define how many rows and columns get added when first adding a table.

But you can add extra rows and columns afterwards

It was possible in WCF 2.1.x

That's the problem, for small tables I don't care but for big tables adding every time an extra row/column is frustrating.

It's funny WoltLab labelled this as not a bug which could be true but they don't bother to explain why or give a solution

This has never been an explicit feature, but instead was the default functionality of the previous Redactor version ("Old Redactor"), but this is no longer available with the new Redactor version ("Redactor II").

But there should be a solution, we should be able to define the number of columns and rows. Yesterday I had to create a table with 40 rows and 8 columns and that was horrible! I ended up using html.
