I'm afraid I don't see in https://forum.eurobilltracker.com/faq.php?mode=bbcode" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , ie. that tag is not standard BBcode.

On several places on the internet I see the tag mentioned for BBcode. I have no idea if it is an addon or not, but it seems to be standard code. I think it would be nice to have it. http://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-reference.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=57.0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.bbcode.org/reference.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com/viewtopic.php?t=219" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For many games and rankings having a table would be more than very welcome!

Ah, those are apparently implemented as custom BBCode. I'll research the issue, but it looks like this should be doable.

FWIW, I don't see that as a must (after all we're managing by inserting invisible zeroes here and there) but it would be really nice to have.

Here you go:

Code: Select all

[table][tr][td][b]Code[/b][/td][td][b]Printer[/b][/td][td][b]Country[/b][/td][/tr][tr][td]D[/td][td]Setec Oy[/td][td]Finland[/td][/tr][tr][td]E[/td][td]F. C. Oberthur[/td][td]France[/td][/tr][tr][td]F[/td][td]Österreichische Banknoten und Sicherheitsdruck[/td][td]Austria[/td][/tr][tr][td]G[/td][td]Koninklijke Joh. Enschedé[/td][td]Netherlands[/td][/tr][/table]
CodePrinterCountry
DSetec OyFinland
EF. C. OberthurFrance
FÖsterreichische Banknoten und SicherheitsdruckAustria
GKoninklijke Joh. EnschedéNetherlands
Unfortunately the BBCode is, erm, rather unreadable because it has to be on one line. If it isn't, you'll get an empty row for each table row before the table, as in:
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3
Row 4
Row 5
Row 6
Row 7
Row 8
Row 9
Row 10
This is because phpBB thinks it's a neat idea to add a forced <br> tag after each </tr>. Some of the workarounds I've seen involve using HTML comments <!-- --> to hide the <br> tag, but when I tried to use them, phpBB warned me that the construct could be used for XSS attacks, and suggested using INTTEXT instead of TEXT. This, however, didn't work at all but broke the generated HTML beyond repair. So I guess this will need to suffice for now.

Apparently yes, but you'll need something like a non-breaking space within the empty table data cell. My Mac outputs such a character with Option+Space.

Example:
First row
 
Third row

well, i have a new laptop, and i don’t have a numper pad any more so that i could enter a non-breaking space directly in the posting field, and for some reason copy and paste doesn’t seem to work either.
have a look here:

hi avij, would that be your area of expertise?
do you have any comment about why copy and pasting of working empty rows in tables doesn’t work?
thanks in advance :)

I'm afraid I don't have any hints for solving this problem, apart from those mentioned above.
