Table collapses on desktop inadvertently

  • Hi Tobias,

    I want to make the tables on the homepage responsive.
    Though in this case I feel like the collapse is only needed on phones (and maybe on tablets).

    I implemented the collapse mode this way:
    [table id=14 responsive=collapse responsive_breakpoint=phone automatic_url_conversion=true automatic_url_conversion_new_window=true /]

    So I was expecting that it does not collapse on screen width > 980px, but it does.

    I figured it may be because of the long texts in the columns (especially the links), so that tablepress kicks in the collapse mode instead of line breaking like it does without the collapse mode. I then tried to somehow adjust the columns width so it would force the table to line break, but it didn’t change anything.

    I’m becoming a little desperate now, since I think it does not look on a big screen with only one column and I’d rather have one or two line breaks in a column. Do you have any idea how I can make this work?

    Thanks in advance
    and greetings from Cologne
    Chris

    Little update:

    I’m beginning to believe, that the breakpoint is not working in general.

    See e.g. the first table here: https://dev.webinx.eu/rundbrief/
    Even without line break there is definetly enough space for the collapsed third column.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The breakpoint setting does indeed not affect the collapse mode. As explained on the Extension’s web page, it only plays a role for the flip mode.

    The collapse mode tries to fit as many columns as possible, and if it thinks that it can not fit all columns, it will start collapsing columns from the right. Unfortunately, this process can sometimes be active in undesired scenarios, like on desktops, if the width calculation is somehow not working. Unfortunately, I don’t know a fix for this ?? Sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias
