Summary:
Using tablecontrols means you have a second toolbar row with just seperators.
Detailed Description:
I've noticed this for several versions and so I always implement the same fix
for it. I thought I'd share it with the group so hopefully a more permanent
solution can be implemented.
The bug itself is if you tick "Allow table operations" on the Profiles page and
put a tablecontrols control on the first toolbar row. When you do that the
table controls appear on the first row exactly as they should but the second row
shows 4 empty seperator tags. The only solution without editing any code is to
allow the table controls to appear on the second row.
I always customise the admin toolbar and keep it all on a single row. I don't
use tables most of the time but on the odd occasion that I do I've always
noticed the bug I described.
My work-around is to edit "TinyMCE.module.php" in the /modules/TineMCE directory
and comment out two "if" statements. The first is on lines 681, 682 and 683:
if ($this->GetPreference("advanced_allow_tables", "0") == "1") {
$this->smarty->assign("toolbar" . $toolbar, "tablecontrols");
}
The second is on lines 703, 704 and 705:
if ($this->GetPreference("allow_tables", "0") == "1") {
$this->smarty->assign("toolbar" . $toolbar, "tablecontrols");
}
That means that it no longer automatically inserts the tablecontrols tag. I
think a nicer solution would be to expand the "if" statement to say "if
allow_tables is set AND the tablecontrols tag has not been manually inserted
anywhere by the user THEN insert it". I could probably suss this out on my own
but I'm on a tight deadline.
