Table Wizard: New Features

Description
Hi,
basically the table wizard is a "Good Thing" (tm). But I miss two features.
RTE support¶
basic RTE in each textarea, with table wizard specific config, for setting links and making basic formatting like strong, underline etc.
Drag and Drop for rows and columns¶
Move rows and columns without using the arrows.
Since we habe jQuery in place, this can be a start: http://www.isocra.com/2008/02/table-drag-and-drop-jquery-plugin/
Drag and Drop for Table cells¶
Move the content from one cell to an empty one.
Regards,
Marcus
This sounds nice! I am bit unsure if adding an RTE to each table cell isn't going to be a big overhead and make it very slow.
But the demand of "adding links" and "inline styling" to table cells is there for sure.
About drag&drop, you might also want to take a look at this, for dragging columns:

On the other hand, we already have an rtehtmlarea that can edit HTML tables. Why not replace the "tables wizard" with just a rtehtmlarea where one can edit the table in one RTE (instead of one per cell)?
Hi,
basically the reason for this idea was the rtehtmlarea. ;-) If it comes to quite complex tables it's not that easy to handle for editors. The wizard comes with the possibility to set layout and predefined css classes for each cell. In rte this has to be done manually.
I will think further about it. My current idea is to come up with a new CE "Advanced table" that allows to rethink the concept of the CE (wizard, Saving in DB, rendering, ...)., without destroying current installations.
Don't know when I will find some more time to work on this.
Ciao,
Marcus

Hey Marcus,
I will close this issue now. Seems like we all did not have time to work on this for the past 7 years ;).
I think CKEditor provides a good enough basis to add complex tables, but if somebody would need "advanced table" CTypes this should go into an extension.
