CMS Made Simple Forums

I found pasting a table into a content page curiously difficult; and more difficult in 2.2.10 than in 2.2.8. Using 2.2.8 I could simply paste in a complete table (and I could style it with stylesheets.) With the latest installation you paste in a table and end with a column of cell-fields. No table drop down (with its 'add row below', etc.).
I went to Extensions/MicroTiny/Settings/Frontend Editors where I found that "Allow Tables" was set to "No" . I toggled it to "Yes". For good measure I set Tables to "Yes" where ever I saw it was "NO", and that took a little time.
Back to the Content page. Still no table dropdown. Went to Content/Options tab and disabled WYSIWYG, back to Main and inserted html which defined a mini-table, went back to Options and re-enabled WYSIWYG, whereupon it appeared as a table. Now I could delete the content, add extra rows, and paste cell-by-cell the content I wanted. It took hours.
Is there a better way?????

You may have needed to clear your site/browser cache after enabling tables. MicroTiny is also quite limited (intentionally), you may want to consider switching to TinyMCE, or see what other editors are available.

When I have sites where the user enters a lot of tabular data, I usually create a module for it rather than having them enter it in page content. LISE is a good option if you don't want to build something from scratch.

Thanks Dig13. I shall look up and try LISE. (I certainly do not want to write my own module from scratch.!)
