Template talk:Prettytable

Examples
The examples should have title sections so that the pretty table effect is used and thus is more of an example for the template... Shouldn't they? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 18:53, 30 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I've sub-paged the documentation, so feel free to make whatever changes you think are necessary to it. --DrBob (Talk) 12:55, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Parameter Quick Reference
I for one think that the parameters should be listed in a section, perhaps below examples, that denotes all of them. Who else is with me? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 22:09, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Centered
Can we have a centered parameter? This is for tables that are on their own row. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 03:58, 19 April 2007 (CDT)

Double Border
I think we should add style="border-style: double; border-width: 3px;" to the prettytable. It's quite aesthetically pleasing I must say. :)--Teddy 21:18, 20 February 2008 (CST)
 * Make a test table right here so we can see. -- 00:30, 21 February 2008 (CST)

valign
Any chance of a vertical alignment parameter? It's a pet peeve of mine when cells on the same row don't line up. --aniki21 04:18, 2 March 2008 (CST)
 * I've made things vertical-align:top by default, which I think makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out. :-) --DrBob (talk) 07:12, 2 March 2008 (CST)

cellspacing
Could you please remove  from this template? It will make the tables neater on Internet Explorer. --OMG 10:01, 8 May 2008 (CDT)
 * Done, and I removed some other crufty old HTML parameters too. Thanks for the heads-up. --DrBob (talk) 12:11, 8 May 2008 (CDT)

Who killed sortable?!
Oh, no! What happened to our beautiful javascript? sortable=1 has been disabled? Why? I assume this occurred during the migration to the new simplified theme and also during a staff meeting. Can someone note the reason here on the discussion page? Thank you. -- 17:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Because changes are rolled out without testing. I wouldn't assume anything is ever discussed in staff meetings, or that staff meetings even occur anymore. — Najzere  ·  Talk  01:09, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Report the bugs, they'll get fixed. -- Prod (Talk) 02:28, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Staff meetings largely fell off due to several factors including: lack of interest, difficulty with scheduling, but mostly improved direct communication between interested members. I would be happy to resuscitate them if there was enough expressed interest.   Pro  cyon  02:33, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Sortable works in Vector and Monobook but not in Dolphin or BlueCloud. Probably because the first two are on Wikipedia where we got the sortable code. — Najzere  ·  Talk  03:16, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure it's somewhere lost in MediaWiki:Common.js (or maybe not). Once they added ResourceLoader it made skin specific js much harder to include.  The custom skins load the js/css differently than the built-in skins, so it could be an artifact of that. -- Prod (Talk) 04:34, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. I just switched to Monobook.  Now that Bluecloud is gone I don't care about skins at all.  Let's just force Monobook and remove the rest so there is never any issue, aside from browser rendering, regarding aesthetics/layout.  -- 02:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a point you're trying to convey? -- Prod (Talk) 03:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Dolphin is the default skin that sets us apart from other wikis, so that should be compatible first and foremost. Having a choice of skins is a good thing, we just need to make sure they all work. Monobook is old even on Wikipedia (Vector is default there). Not that I'm for it, but I think if we were to force a single skin on people it should be Dolphin. — Najzere  ·  Talk  05:42, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand that, but can we be certain that Dolphin won't have to be replaced like Bluecloud was? -- 20:41, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Everything gets replaced eventually. Next time, maybe the skin can just be updated with different styles instead moving to a new skin, but either way I think we'd always want to have something to give us our own identity, and that one should be the default. — Najzere  ·  Talk  00:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Someone fixed this? Tables sort works for me now in Dolphin. — Najzere  ·  Talk  20:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, it wasn't me... Perhaps caches cleared somewhere? -- Prod (Talk) 19:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
