Table Advanced Tab Not Showing

Table Advanced Tab Not Showing

Hi

Wondering if anybody can help. We recently upgraded our Moodle from 2.1.1 to 3.7.1.

One of the things our staff have noticed is that the "Advanced" tab has now gone when they want to insert a table. 

Screenshot from Moodle 2.1.1

Moodle Table from Version 2.1.1

Screenshot from Moodle 3.7.1

Does anyone know if there is a way of showing the advanced tab for the tables. 

Any help will be much appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Sam

Hi Sam,

The first screen shot is of a text Editor called "TinyMCE" and the second is from a newer text editor allied "Atto."

There is no advanced tab for tables in Atto, but there are 3 settings that can be enabled by your administrator that provide more "table" settings on the second screenshot (see attachment). 

In the meantime, you can attempt to switch back to the old editor if it's still available - as a logged in user, navigate to your Moodle preferences page. There should be a link where you can select your text editor (if more than 1 is available to you). 

Atto is a great text editor, it's worth while reading up on it: https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/Text_editor
