HTML Tables [solved]

[Bluesonic1]

I hope I'm posting this in the right place; ran a search of this and found nothing. I'm also still getting used to v5...

Back in v4, there was this HTML Tables thread which was SUPER helpful. I was wondering if anyone could 'translate' these into tables that can be added to a theme's layout template?
The only reason I'm really asking this is because I use the Basic Box to put the credits for my theme designs in and it's not really working anymore

Cheers in advanced!

I take it you want to add this information into a sidetable? If this is the case, you will need to import a plugin first and add your html content into the plugin itself. If you already have a sidetable, which one are you using?

Providing a link would help to narrow things down a little, and also html hasn't changed for v5 so it doesn't need reformatting, but where you put html has. hope this helped

Nope, not using side tables. Literally just an HTML table in Global Footers (that's what it would have been in v4).

I think I could place the box in the forum's headers and footers but would that go over into this theme that I then export?

Have you had a look in the plugins section, i do know there are a few table plugins in there.

support.proboards.com/thread/430638/dynamically-tabbed-table perhaps this would work for you?

[Bluesonic1]

I've looked through each and every plugin and templates on the list, which is why I made this thread The dynamically tabbed table is far too complex for the little box I want to achieve; the box I want to put doesn't even have a title bar. It's literally some words with the forum's background colour and border around it, and right at the bottom (just above the Proboards links).
On this forum, right at the bottom and just above the 'Click here to make this board ad-free', is a little box with the theme details. That's what I want to add.

oh then yes, the same piece of coding that you found in the Basic box should work just fine, adding it to your headers if you want it at the top or footers for the bottom. Sorry i must of misread you to begin with.

You could try this in the bottom of your main header footer

You can change lightblue to any html colour

You can also change the font size and colour of your text



<center><table style="background-color:lightblue;">
<tr>
<td><center><font size=2><font color="#000000">   TABLE WITH BACKGROUND COLOUR AND TEXT 
<br>ADD MORE TEXT HERE </font></font></center></td>
</tr>
</table></center>

But if I put the table in the forum's headers and footers, and then export the theme, that table isn't going to be exported with it as well is it?

Hi,

You could always Go admin - layout Template - Home

And put it the code at the bottom - Remember you can always click on preview
To preview how it looks - Before saving any changes to your template

I've tried that but it just displays the text under the info center. No box, not even the center alignment either. I've added it to the template of the forum and left it there so you can see what's happening: bsonicd5.boards.net/

Hi,

Did you add all the code?


<center><table style="background-color:lightblue;">
<tr>
<td><center><font size=2><font color="#000000">TABLE WITH BACKGROUND COLOUR AND TEXT
<br>ADD MORE TEXT HERE</font></font></center></td>
</tr>
</table></center>
I have it on my test board xsteveuktestboard.proboards.com/
And seems to be displaying OK I have a blue box and pink box at the bottom of the forum

Make sure you copy all the code - you may have removed some of the table code
While editing the text

<div class="container" style="width:200px!important;">
<div class="title-bar" style="text-align:center;"><h2>TABLE TITLE</h2></div>
<div class="content">
<table>
<tr>
<td vAlign="top" align="center">
Contents of Box Here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>

you only need to edit the bold bits

Yup I input the whole code without touching anything; didn't work.

This was exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly, thanks so much!

Thanks so much to everyone for the effort you gave to help me reach a solution, really appreciate it!
