Hi,

I am currently using the rich text editor table plugin. I would like to extend it to include two more extra properties I was wondering whether this is possible and if there is any examples.

Hmm,
I would overlay the file in "/apps" with the same name/structure so you wont have to worry about that later one since it's quite a lot of scripts and different functions involved.

Glad it worked out

Hi Chris.
Have you read this one: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/widgets.html ?
There you will find a lot of information of how to extend widgets.
Also there is a lot of info about how to configure the RTE here : http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/configuring_rich_text_editor.html
and that will also show you how to edit things for the table plugin.

Good luck
/Johan

Hi,

I have read them. I have managed to extend tablepropertiesdialog but the 2 property fields I created do not get persisted.

I do not have the sample. What are the properties you are trying to add? What exact change you have done so far? In the firebox are you seeing the addition properties are passed on POST request?

Hi,

Just to give you some background we are using cq5.5.

I have copied tableplugin.js and tablepropertiesdialog.js and made a local copy inside the apps directory for my app

the names are customtableplugin and customtablepropertiesdialog.

I have changed the customtableplugin code to refer to the customtablepropertiesdialog file. Inside the customtablepropertiesdialog file I have added the 2 new properties table name and category name. When I click on the table inside the rich text editor I can see the dialog come up with my 2 new fields along with the existing fields like number of rows and number of columns. However when I submit the dialog I can see inside firebug that the post does not contain my 2 new fields.
