MCE Table Buttons 1.5 for WordPress

Adds table editing controls to a third row in the WordPress editor.

A very light weight plug-in based on a slightly modified version of the table editor plug-in included with the full version of TinyMCE. Only includes English localization; please let us know if you would like additional localizations added. The table editing toolbar will hide and display with the “kitchen sink” (activated with the button that looks like 3 rows of squares on the first toolbar row in the editor).

Note that this should not be used with other plug-ins that significantly alter the editor’s default behavior. It is intended to be a simple, light weight solution for editors who only want to add table management to WordPress’ included editor.

  2. Don’t work with WP 3.2.1. Tried to fix it. but no luck… I see only button “insert table” and no other buttons. Hope you’ll fix it!

      Works great in my tests! Maybe a conflicting plug-in?

      • I agree with Jet, but I have 3.3.1.
        I installed it, activated it, and went to “new post”. the toolbar looks nothing like your picture above. Interestingly enough though, when it’s still loading the page, it does show a 2nd line, but then goes back to default (like the plugin tried to work but crashed or didn’t load). If it worked on yours, then great! How do I get it to work on mine?

          Do you know how to open the “kitchen sink” toolbar? It’s the button in the first row which looks like a line of small squares followed by a double line.

      Use your theme stylesheet.

  5. We’re experiencing the same issue in 3.2.1 – doesn’t show up after activation.

    We’ve got numerous other plugins installed. Disabling all of them doesn’t help.

    Any known conflicts?
    (If you’re interested email me for a full list)

  7. Hello! First, great plugin, second, I want to add my own FR language file to your plugin. I’m trying to create a fr_dlg.js file, but it doesn’t seems to work. I can replace the en_dlg.js file but i don’t want to do it again if the plugin is updated… any solution? thanks!
