Hi,

 

I am currently using the rich text editor table plugin. I would like to extend it to include two more extra properties I was wondering whether this is possible and if there is any examples.

Hmm,
I would overlay the file in "/apps" with the same name/structure so you wont have to worry about that later one since it's quite a lot of scripts and different functions involved. 

Glad it worked out

Hi Chris.
Have you read this one: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/widgets.html ?
There you will find a lot of information of how to extend widgets.
Also there is a lot of info about how to configure the RTE here : http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/configuring_rich_text_editor.html
and that will also show you how to edit things for the table plugin.

Good luck
/Johan

maybe try to zip or just upload one file, or paste snippets in here if it's not a lot of code

Is it possible that you could supply some sample code to facilitate the trouble shooting ? :)

Hi,

Just to give you some background we are using cq5.5.

I have copied tableplugin.js and tablepropertiesdialog.js and made a local copy inside the apps directory for my app

the names are customtableplugin and customtablepropertiesdialog.

I have changed the customtableplugin code to refer to the customtablepropertiesdialog file. Inside the customtablepropertiesdialog file I have added the 2 new properties table name and category name. When I click on the table inside the rich text editor I can see the dialog come up with my 2 new fields along with the existing fields like number of rows and number of columns. However when I submit the dialog I can see inside firebug that the post does not contain my 2 new fields.
