Content Managers adding new table rows and cells in TinyMCE?

We have some pages on a modX site which are basically long supplier listings- one column names the company, the other shows a link to the company site.

The content managers are going to need to be able to add new table rows / cells (and content obviously) via the TinyMCE editor. I realise adding new rows is easy enough in plain text, but they will complain if they have to do any "coding".

I can’t see a way of doing this via Tiny MCE (we’re using version 1.0 modX so are pretty up to date)- is this possible?

Hi galahad,

you can try to setup TinyMCE with table editing features: http://modxrules.com/articles/tinymce-with-table-controls
or use CKEditor: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,39191.msg263209.html#msg263209
or TinyMCE3.3 beta1 http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,45220.0.html

with CKEditor i can easily add new table cells, see screenshots

thanks, I’ll give these a go. So you’d recommend CK Editor for ease of use above the others? If we install that, will users still be able to use TinyMCE? (as we’ve written them a manual for this!)

don’t know if TinyMCES table editing features are similar to those of CKEditor

The TinyMCE one seems to work pretty well- new row of buttons added and they seem to do everything a standard CM would want to be doing. Thanks for the link.
