Fixing Missing Rows and Columns in TinyMCE Editor 4.8.1 Table Plugin
When using TinyMCE Editor 4.8.1 with the included table plugin, you might encounter issues when trying to create tables with specific numbers of rows and columns. This article will provide a detailed guide on how to fix this problem, covering key concepts, subtitles, and code blocks.
Understanding the Problem
Some users have reported that the table plugin in TinyMCE Editor 4.8.1 does not always create tables with the correct number of rows and columns. This can be frustrating, especially when trying to create tables with a specific layout.
Finding the Root Cause
The root cause of the problem is not clear, but it seems to be related to the way the table plugin calculates the number of rows and columns. One possible explanation is that there is a bug in the plugin that causes it to miscalculate the number of rows and columns.
Fixing the Problem
To fix the problem, you can modify the TinyMCE configuration options to specify the exact number of rows and columns you want to create. Here's an example:
tinyMCE.init({
selector: 'textarea',
table\_params: {
num\_rows: 3,
num\_cols: 3
}
});
In this example, the table\_params option is used to specify that we want to create a table with 3 rows and 3 columns. This will ensure that the table plugin creates the table with the correct number of rows and columns, even if there is a bug in the plugin.
Alternative Solution
If modifying the TinyMCE configuration options does not solve the problem, you can use a third-party table plugin that provides more control over the number of rows and columns. One such plugin is the Table Plus plugin for TinyMCE.
