MODx - Enable TinyMCE Table Controls

To add the Table Controls to TinyMCE in MODx Revolution:
  • Navigate to System > System Settings
  • Select TinyMCE from the dropdown filter
  • Under the General Area add table to the value of tiny.custom_plugin
  • Under the Custom Buttons Area add tablecontrols to the value of tiny.custom_buttons3
    The Table Controls have quite a few buttons and are best suited to being on a custom_buttons row on their own.

    Update 11 March 2013:  TinyMCE is not available in MODX Revolution 2.2.2, instead search for tiny.custom_plugin and add table to its value, then search tiny.custom_buttons3 and add tablecontrols to its value.
