Title: [Plugin: BuddyPress Docs] Expanding Table Functionality Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: BuddyPress Docs] Expanding Table Functionality * [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/) * Currently, we are using Buddypress Docs, as part of our Intranet solution along with Buddypress. Both are working great, but I ran into a little snag that I was hoping someone has worked through, or could be considered an enhancement request. * We use a lot of tables in the Docs, to keep up with various pieces of information, and right now the only time you can create a table or expand a table is at the documents creation. * Does anyone know of a way to make it possible where the tables could be made longer after a document is created? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892578) * It’s true that TinyMCE disables the Rows and Columns fields after a table exists. But you should be able to expand an existing table by using the other controls:“ Insert row before” and “Insert row after”. * Thread Starter [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892597) * Thank you for getting back to me, and I see the insert row before/after, on the backend of Buddypress. * Do you know if it is possible to enable this feature on the frontend while editing a document? * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892610) * The buttons should be there whether you’re on the front or back end. * What versions of WP/BP/BP Docs are you running? What browser are you using? What theme? * Thread Starter [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892615) * Currently I am using WordPress 3.4.1, Buddypress 1.5.6, Buddypress Docs 1.1.24. * I have tested on the following Browsers, Chrome 20.0.1132.57, Firefox 13.01, Opera 12.00, and Safari 5.1.7. * My theme is Buddypress Colours version 1.0. * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892628) * Could you share a screenshot? It’ll be helpful if I can see which buttons are and are not being rendered. * Thread Starter [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892665) * Here is what I am getting on the frontend: [http://imgur.com/vtvKQ,Pwcgm](http://imgur.com/vtvKQ,Pwcgm) * Here is what I am getting on the backend: [http://imgur.com/vtvKQ,Pwcgm#1](http://imgur.com/vtvKQ,Pwcgm#1) * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892667) * Is it possible for you to switch to the BuddyPress Default, just for a moment, to test whether the same thing is happening there too? * Thread Starter [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892672) * I just made the switch back to the default template, and I am still not seeing the buttons on the frontend. * I also brought up a second installation just to check, and was not able to seem them on that installation either. * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892673) * Thanks for testing. * I found a typo that may be causing your problem. Would you mind helping me to test? * Through an FTP editor, navigate to: `wp-content/plugins/buddypress-docs/includes/ js/`. Open the file `bp-docs.js` in a text editor. Find the line (it should be 75 or thereabouts) that reads: * `var doc_id = $("#existing-doc-id").val();` * Change the ‘$’ to ‘jQuery’: * `var doc_id = jQuery("#existing-doc-id").val();` * Save the file, and test from the front end again (you’ll have to refresh the page in your browser). You should see that the third row of items – the table functions – appear on the third row of the editor buttons. * Thread Starter [Atticus_Finch12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atticus_finch12/) * (@atticus_finch12) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892674) * That was the magic trick. Thank you very much for getting to this so quickly. You ever need a beta tester let me know, and I would be more than happy to help. * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-docs-expanding-table-functionality/#post-2892676) * Cool, glad it worked! I’ll release a new version soon with the fix. Thanks for your help tracking it down.
