Hi, I’m making this tutorial please try it out and see if it works, if you use Volt CMS, I was able to style the table in Blocs but need to know if I can use those styles in Volt CMS.
Start with a blank page in Blocs and add a one column structure block.
Make a 3 by 3 table with no classes, I used CKEditor and copied the source code and pasted it into a html code widget
Add the HTML widget to the column and past the table html source into it, make sure you leave preview on the the HTML widget checked.
Click on the widget and make a class called table it will then show up as .table
Press Command 6 to open the styles manager and make another class called table tr and another called table td and select No, leave the spaces intact.
P.S. you can also give the table a class name like .production and .production tr and .production td it’s up to you so you can have multiple tables with different formatting for each class name. <table class="production">
Now go to the class table td and add some background color to tr and border and some padding to td
Volt CMS
Add the classes .table and .table tr and .table td to Volt so they show up in the classes list when you click on the table on the lower left of the screen in edit mode.
Ok so will this work, I desperately need to copy and paste tables into Volt edit areas and then assign a class to the table for color and padding. Knowing this will help me buy Volt CMS because this is one of the highest hurdles to get over right now.
I would be interested to see how this is done. I played with the tables for just a couple minutes and never applied any styling. I almost wanted a couple preset styling options.
To style them I have simply added an extra css file to my Blocs project.
But you can also create your classes directly in Blocs class manager and then add the created class names in the Volt Core field which are then passed forward and usable directly form the Volt CMS Web interface.
I have found no issues with using tables with Volt CMS and to speed up my process have been copying/pasting my tables directly with all classes needed in the Volt Content area.
Thank you Jannis for making the demo and MDS for the example of a working table.
One other question, how do you select all the content or multiple elements in the VoltCMS content brick and delete them, all I can select is one paragraph at a time and delete it.
