Adding ticks and crosses to the table content

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

Are you sure that copy/pasting in the symbols (either the actual UTF-8 symbols), like

? / ?

or the decimal or hex codes like ✔ or ✔ are not working?
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks. It is working once I figured I wasn’t using a text editor ( doh!) .. I guess the question still stands is there a way of adding other imgs to cells say with a style that can set in the table. No worries if not as I just stick with my Dingbats.

Hi,

ah, yes, you’ll have to use a text editor here, as the code might be tempered with otherwise.

The Dingbats will probably be the most efficient way, as they are single characters and thus they can be loaded fast.
If you wrap them in some HTML code, like

<span class="my-icon"> ?</span>

you could also style them (size, color, etc.) with some CSS like

.tablepress .my-icon {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: #00ff00;
}

Another alternative would be to use real images for such icons, which you can upload and then insert via the “Insert Image” button below the table input fields.

Thanks very much. regarding the styles .my-icon. how would you apply that to the desired cell content rather than all cells?

Will try the image as well.

Hi,

for that, you could take a look at https://tablepress.org/faq/highlight-cells-or-content/

That could then be mixed to style the .my-icon class differently in individual cells, e.g. with

.tablepress-id-123 .row-3 .column-4 .my-icon {
  color: #ff0000;
}

I like the idea of span class since I wouldn’t want to identify each cell but how could I apply my span to the content via the visual editor?

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

what do you mean with “Visual Editor”? Do you mean the “Advanced Editor”? That is actually just a text editor, so you would simply have to copy or type the <span> HTML code there.

Yes I see the advanced edit dialog popout… ok will play around with my span class .

Thanks again

Daniel

Hi,

Best wishes,
Tobias
