I really like this editor and it was functioning just great on my site for over a 2 months now. I recently added table support where users can edit their own tables. They needed this badly and I had to enable it. However, it has been impractical the way this editor is handling it. I had to pull out from the site to use something else. I would love to have this editor back. This is why I had to disable it...
1- user needs to go to table property to change border color so they can see it. They do this every time they create a table.
2- they also have to get to cell property to do the same.
3- every time they add column or cell, the newly added item does not inherent current properties. Again, they have to go to properties and set the color.

What I need done is absolutely simple. I just want user to create a table with dark or black border and cells. If they added new columns or cells, this format should apply.

- Is there a way to have the editor to default to creating table with certain colors for borders and cells?
- can a table style be created so users can pick from without having to set properties on every cell and row?

Thank you all.

This really has nothing to do with the module is something that can be done by modifying TinyMCE itself. You should be asking this in the Moxiecode support. Every button/plugin is customizable. You can find the code for the table plugin in modules\tinymce\tinymce\jscripts\plugins\table, but if you want to insert a a specific chunk of preformatted code I'd suggest modifying the Manage Standard Text Snippets Plugin.

Everything you're asking is possible, but requires someone who knows how to do it. If that person isn't you, you are likely going to have to $$ for this type of customization.

thanks for the reply.
"...you are likely going to have to $$ for this type of customization..." For what?
Just to be able to insert a table with black borders and cells. I kid you not!!!

Alright. The theme I was using over-rode editor's table settings. I made the necessary changes in the theme file and tables, now, display fine.

Thank you the tips.
