When you're doing a table, make sure you have the table plugin on your atto task bar.
I'll add an image above to show that in action. In your template, you design your table the with the number of rows and columns you want. The preview just shows what you have created and what will be inserted.

The following error occurs during installation.
What is the problem?

Hi Polaris,
thanks for bringing that to my attention. The test folder was empty, so I removed it and it should now work for you.

Thanks for the quick fix.

Hi, I finished the setting of the plugin(create new templates), but there is nothing appearing on the editor. How can I add the template into my text? My moodle version is 3.3

Hi Cheryl,
did you add the templates toolbar to atto? Go to http://www.yoursite.com/admin/category.php?category=editoratto and add "templates" to the "Toolbar config".

for example, mine says something like:
style1 = title, bold, italic, styles, templates

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much! I solve the problem! I didn't set the "style1 = title, bold, italic, styles, templates".
Best wishes

I like this plugin, but for some reason, it does not take ALL the html that I enter.

For example, it dropped "!important" and "border-radius" from my style tags

Is there any reason for this behaviour?

Curious. Not sure why. I'm just using standard insert methods in atto - i.e. I'm not doing any filtering. I've only ever really used in with classes, rather than inline styling. Is that a possibility for you?

I like the pulgin, too, But I've got a similar problem. I'm using IDs in the html code. But when inseting the template, all IDs are gone.

Working without IDs isn't possible, cause I'd like to provide the bootstrap 4 collapse classes.

Do you've got a hint, a workaround or a bugfix for me? THX

@stefan and @andreas I've put an update up on my git repo (link above). Would you mind trying that out to see if that fixes anything for you. Also, if you have any example code of what you're trying to insert as a template, please report it as an issue on the github page rather than here. thanks.

Nice! But it is not working in 3.5. After selecting the template and confirming it, the atto editor is not adding the text. Would be nice if there was an 3.5/3.6 update!

Is there any news on whether this plugin is working with 3.6? Would be great if it did, it's a very useful add on.

This does not install on 3.8, and possibly not on 3.7. The plugins page simply does not see it - no errors - its just not there. I think it may be a core conflict with the name "templates". If I rename the directory to "template" for example, it sees the plugin. It cannot install because the name isn't correct, but it at least sees it.

@mike - Can I point you to the github page for a discussion on this? https://github.com/sharpchi/moodle-atto_templates/issues/7
