Any way to hide options for non-admins?

  • Wonderful plugin. I was primarily looking for a block that supported colspan and rowspan, which this does.

    Is there any way to make it impossible for editors (and contributors, etc) to change things like text color, cell backgrounds, etc? I’d prefer to give them far fewer options, so that table stylings are consistent across the site.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    For now, I’m not thinking about implementing an option in this block itself that would disable all settings.

    Instead, there is the “content-only” concept that allows editing only the content. This means that if a block is surrounded by a specific block with that attribute, only the contents of the block inside can be edited.

    Flexible Table Block does not currently support this behavior, but it may support it in the future.

    Regarding content-only mode, this article may be helpful:

    Thanks for your answer. It might be complicated to determine what options are “content” in the case of this block. Making cell contents red, or adding an outline, could be seen as a way to mark them as more important, and that is a “content decision”. But that same option allows editors to create tables with all colors of the rainbow, which is what I’m trying to avoid.

    That being said, I quite like the idea of a “content-only” lock type, and I think it would help in my case.
