1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

The KB Content Table Extensions primarily allows a User to insert a Table as an Content Element and insert Content Elements into each cell. This is what was already supported in the previous version of this extension. But the extension has been completely rewritten and many new Features got implemented. Here a short list.

  1. Completely Flexform based (New(?) concept of dynamic Flexforms introduced)

  2. Table configuration via Flexform tabs (Locking)

  3. Templating (Save table templates to storage folder and reuse on a user/group basis)

  4. Normal or RTE mode (Content elements inside cells vs. Rich Text Editor fields)

  5. Inter operable with standard clipboard

  6. Templa Voila compatible

  7. Configuration of cell properties via new “mustache” optionSplit :)

Sadly a new Hook is required for the Locking and Templating to work properly. Else those functions will just not work. This hook could also get used for making many aspects of Flexforms configurable via TSConfig and so I proposed the hook for 3.8.0 but most probably too late. Update: The Hook will be in the final 3.8.0 release and also in the 3.8.0beta3 when it come to such a case or RC1 in the other case.
