Tutorial - How to create Table in the BitcoinTalk Forum

[famososMuertos]

I find it difficult to make a table but base on your excellent explanation here I can make a perfect table,
That is the reason I keep on emphasising on observation and hardworking because many members don't really know how to create a table but you has brought an easy way to scale through.
No one is island of knowledge, we are here to learn things beyond us.because in my findings I noticed that  "knowledge is power" and hardworking is success while observation is the solution of achievement.
I applaud you for your research, keep it on for the benefit of the beginners.

Really copying the code and putting it in your post is not difficult believe me. The difficult thing is to add the information.
Ideally, you should do so as indicated by the OP.

But in the forum there are various types of tables that you can use just quote the table and modify to your needs. Use the Preview and be patient.

Although in my very particular opinion, with some exceptions, you should use something simpler like a google docs link, or simply capture your excells table.

Its answer may look cool in BBcode, but you can use these mentioned variants.

Here I leave you the data and code of my table, you can save a lot of time if you get a ready-made table, that suits your idea or need.

2.-Spreadsheet (Capture)

Advantages: the process is quite fast and avoids errors. The final table is similar to the result with BBcode.

Disadvantages: you must upload the capture to imgur. Updating data requires a new upload imgur.

Table:
Advantage: can protect privacy (only if you use Tor when login the forum)
Disadvantage: take more time to edit or add new contents (except if you have a script to do it automatic).

Spreadsheet:
Advantage: More easily to add or edit contents
Disadvantage: You have to make screenshot, then upload it on a website that can break privacy (if you don't use Tor when uploading images).

For simple tables, it is best to build up tables on the forum.
For complex and too wide tables, it is best to use spreadsheet. But always use Tor to upload images.

How can one  adjust 3 - 5 images in one raw of the table so that each of them occupied the cells with the same width? Do I need the determined BB codes for that? I have tried a few times with no success.

Hello,

You can use the resize code for your images and make them uniform.

Let us take random images as below, they have different dimensions as you can see.

Next half I have successfully rendered them into single row and the width stays the same for all.












IMAGES IN A TABLE - SAME ROW SAME WIDTH

__________________________________	__________________________________	__________________________________

CODE :

Code:

[table]

[tr][td]__________________________________[/td][td]__________________________________[/td][td]__________________________________[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][img width=200 height=200]https://i.imgur.com/53KsFDF.jpg[/img][/td][td][img width=200 height=200]https://i.imgur.com/lVkVIPi.jpg[/img][/td][td][img width=200 height=200]https://i.imgur.com/QkWaaNG.jpg[/img][/td][/tr]


[/table]

SOLUTION

According to the aspect ratio of your images you can set the width and height.

The code for it:

Code:

[img width=200 height=200]yourimage.com[/img]

Now the width & height parameter will change as per your image dimensions. For me 200 x 200 worked fine.

Hope you will get success this time.

OP, you tried to do something helpful, I know and appreciate your effort but for your future threads, I advise you to do research before making a post or thread.

Yes, some parts not really new but I like the detailed explanations and in general it's also a good tutorial for newbies to get an impression how BBCode for tables is working.

I've linked it in my tutorial, too, maybe users can read both if they have difficulties to understand a specific part in my tutorial.

As I practice HTML + CSS sometimes, you will need transparent space for columns if it contain images and text inside a table. For example, if you have a one image under a column of first row and second column of the same row contains text, image will not show it's full size. For that, you will need transparent space inside first column according to the width of that image. I am not pro but let me know if I am wrong.

Informative tutorial indeed, btw.

I am not a newbie but this topic is definitely useful!

I remember when I first created my own thread and it required me to formulate my own table in order to make a list of scammers. At first, I borrowed @TalkStar's format in his thread but I devised and edited a few tables (which required me to do trial and error) to at least make it presentable and easier to the eye. If I just found this post before, this could have made my life easier!

Very good post, OP and keep up the good work!
