Indigo: /* TinyMCE Editor setting */ new section

*Had to finish editing this article (family duty calls!) but will expand and correct language/style ASAP. Is broadly complete but needs tidying up.[[User:Jonflgiles|jonflgiles]] 19:26, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
*Taken out of cookie jar. Please comment/edit. One thought: Is the modifying table bit worth expanding and placing elsewhere? [[User:Jonflgiles|jonflgiles]] 16:09, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
* Good start Jon. "Content > New Article" should be "Content > Article Manager". Yes, I think [[Modifying a table in an Article]] should be a separate page. [[User:Chris Davenport|Chris Davenport]] 16:34, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
* Thanks Chris. Fixed the error! Will check the others I have done this evening. The scope of [[Modifying a table in an Article]] is somewhat larger than my brief start but a worthy one I agree. I've created it and will move my bit on this with an explanation. [[User:Jonflgiles|jonflgiles]] 16:50, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

== TinyMCE Editor setting ==

New to Joomla I struggled to get a table to work. Only much later did I find that the default installation set TinyMCE to Advanced not Extended. This info may be better placed in a How-to. Thanks guys for the text that got me started. !!! [[User:Indigo|Indigo]] 17:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

'''Note:''' If you are using the TinyMCE editor please go to '''Extensions > Plugin Manager''' and ensure that the '''Plugin Parameters Functionality''' is set to '''Extended.''' You will not be able to insert tables without this being set.

A table may be inserted into an Article as follows:
# Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the Article Manager, select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
# Locate the position in the Article editor where you want to insert a table with the cursor.
# Click the ''Inserts a new table'' editor toolbar button. The ''Insert/Modify table'' screen opens.
# Select the number of rows and columns and other parameters according to your requirements.
# Click the ''Insert'' button.
#*Clicking the ''Cancel'' button closes the ''Insert/Modify table'' screen.
# A blank table will be inserted. Type content into individual cells by clicking in a cell and typing.
