Feature #1575
closedToolbar button to insert a table
0%
Description
When you open the formatting help popup it lacks info about tables. AFAIK with textile markup it is possible to create tables using markup like that:
|cell|cell|cell| |another cell|merged cell||
Output:
cell | cell | cell |
another cell | another cell | another cell |
So as you see it is possible to create tables - too bad that help does not mention it - I needed to look after textile documentation to get that info. For me it is no problem but I manage Redmine for less technical people and they probably dont even look at help but strictly at the toolbar - when there is no table icon it means there is no tables. ;)

- number of rows
- number of columns
- use headers ? (checkbox)
Once the template syntax is inserted, it probably becomes more natural to fill the cells and tweak it by hand.

I agree, but what would a "table" button insert ?
It could work like in MS Word or OpenOffice.

The attached patch adds a button to insert a table into the wiki toolbar.
The button create a table with rows / columns according to the selected range.

Textile:

Currently no icon image is set for the button. It is necessary to create a new appropriate icon image.

Unfortunately the grid lines of the selection UI are not properly displayed in Firefox.
Chrome:
Firefox:
This seems to be a long running bug of Firefox though: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688556
There seem to be workarounds, like using
background-clip: padding-box;on the cells... But then it looks a little bit strange on Chrome on the other hand

Thanks for sharing the information!!
Operation verification on browsers other than Chrome was insufficient.
Since a problem was found not only in Firefox but also in IE11, a patch that solves the problem is attached.
0002-Firefox-support.patch resolves Firefox by removing `td { position: relative; }`.
0003-IE11-support.patch avoids using repeat function that did not work in IE11.

I really like this patch. Great work!
For the icon, I think famfamfam should be used to stay consistent with the style of other icons in Redmine.

Thank you for the feedback. I think the suggested table icon is better than famfamfam's table icon because famfamfam's table icon looks like a document.
The suggested icon:
famfamfam's table icon:

I also prefer image.png.
The famfamfam's icon does not look like a table because each cell is too small to identify.
