Tables cell aliagnment
David Leeming
Hi, a techie question
I have been using Open Office to create tables and export as MediaWiki code to the Wikieducator. I would like to know how to force cell alignment (i.e. top, left justified). Appreciate any advice.

Within the next fortnight we'll be implementing the WYSIWYG editor on WE. So in the near future you won't need to mess around with wiki syntax for tables :-).
However, if you're in a hurry you can add XHTML attributes to Mediawiki tables -
See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables
Assume this simple 2-cell table:
{| class=prettytable
|-
| Cell 1
| Cell 2
|-
|}
You can, for instance specify the background color, alignment and width of Cell 1 as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| width="60%" bgcolor="#ffffcc" align="left" | Cell 1
| Cell 2
|-
|}
(Note the insertion of the additional pipe "|" after the attributes for Cell 1. )
Cheers
Wayne

Thanks Wayne, that was what I wanted to know, where to put the attributes. Looking forwards to the new editor! I will be out of a job for my “tricks up my sleeve” will be made redundant!

That's a good point. What are the L4C going to include now that the rich editor will be implemented?

We're currently working on revising the tutorials for RTE -- working through the backlog of my "vacation" email but will post an invite to the WE community and facilitators to take a look and help us polish the revisions of the tutorials needed for the new WYSIWYG implementation.
Folk who still want to use standard wiki sytax can still do so and will be able to use our existing tutorials.
We'll need to look at our workshop formats and see what refinements may be necessary for the RTE implementation.
Hopefully with RTE we will be able to reduce the learning curve and time needed to reach basic wiki editing proficiency.
Cheers

Don't worry -- you'll be learning new tricks for the benefit of the open education movement :-)
The advantage with WYSIWYG editing is that workshop facilitators will be able to focus on the more important aspects associated with pedagogy and strategies for collaborative editing.
I think that RTE will remove a major barrier to using wikis for newbies and lower the learning curve thus giving facilitators more time to focus on the more important components of collaborative authoring etc.
Given the time WE will save in teaching basic wiki editing -- what additional learning outcomes should we incorporate into a L4C workshop? This will help us determine gaps for future tutorial development.

This is great news. Now we may be able to pay more attention to OER
building even with newbies.
Looking forward to this.

editor. With about a hundred tables in the existing WE site, the
transition will be watched.
Just to clarify, what is going to happen to www.en.wikieducator.org
(and the other language wikieducators)?
Thanks

You can check a snapshot of your pages on http://we4.wikieducator.net/
(or http://es4.wikieducator.net/ , http://fr4.wikieducator.net/ ,
etc.) now to confirm that they are rendering as you expect after the
software updates.
Please remember that any editing done on these pages will be lost each
time the snapshot is updated. All real work should continue to be
done on *.WikiEducator.org.

They will move (seamlessly in theory) to a new, faster server running
more up-to-date versions of Mediawiki and extensions.
