Looking for Coding Lessons

[dziesmer]

I am looking for someone who knows how to do tables correctly and nicely here on the forums. I know the basics, but want to know more specifics. 

 

Things I specifically want to know how to do: 

1. Create neat tables with anywhere between 2 and 6 columns. 

2. Make tables with the same number of columns line up nicely. 

3. Understand all of the details with the" [tr]," "[td]," where the " / " comes in, spacing requirements, etc. 

4. How long one post can be before it is cut off. 

5. What stuff can be done in a word processor vs what has to be done on the forums.

6. Any other questions that may come up.

 

I am fully aware that quoting a post that has a table in it gives the details, but it is the understanding that I am looking for.

I can help you a bit, but I don't want any reward, so I'm posting it.

 

1) The table system does not use Columns, it uses rows, but you can arrange the rows to make columns. (Put 2 to 6 entry's in the row, and in all following rows correspond entry's so you have "Columns")

 

2) They should automatically line up, if not, you can add a space behind or in front of each row entry to do so.

 

3) Basically, you start tables with [ table ] (Spaces added on both sides). When your done with your table, you simply [ /table ] (The / just ends any command). To start a new row, enter [ tr ]. To end that row, simply type [ /tr ]. To put an entry in that row, use [ td ] and to end it use [ /td ]

 

Here is an example (Spaces added so it does not do the actual table.)

 

[ table ]

[ tr ]

[ td] Column 1 [ /td ]

[ td] Column 2 [ /td ]

[ td] Column 3 [ /td ]

[ /tr ]

[ tr ]

[ td] 4 [ /td ]

[ td] 5 [ /td ]

[ td] 6 [ /td ]

[ /tr ]

[ /table ]

 

Which turns into:

 

[table]

Column 1

Column 2

Column 3

4

5

6

[/table]

 

4) There probably is one, but I just typed up a 3,000 + word guide and posted it in one post, so you shouldn't be too worried. If you hit it, just break up your thing into two posts.

 

 

5) You can type anything you want in your word processor, and these forums have a word conversion tool, but I have found that for some reason, the forums sometimes display the actual code when converting from a word processor, but it could just be my computer. It also depends on the processor.

 

Hope this helped, and good luck! (If you have anymore questions, post and I will hopefully answer them!)

Thank you very much, this was very helpful! I'm going to give it a short practice run and see what happens

 

[table]

Pack Name

Abbreviation

XY Base

XY

Flashfire

FlF

Furious Fist

FuF

[/table]

 

Now for the moment of truth...

 

Well that worked I assume starting a new paragraph after every command is not necessary, but just a way to keep things more organized?

Yeah, you don't have to start a new one, but it is very helpful for organizational purposes.

coding as in php, html, and css? or coding as in bbcodes for the forums?

 

cause when you speak to me about coding, i am thinking of:

 

<?php
If($input->get('page') !== null){
$page = $input->get('page');
}else{
$page = 1;
}
?>

Coding as it relates to the forums. Should have been more specific about that. I know more about the more complex systems than I do about what is used on the forums, and I wanted to finally learn how to make things all pretty here
