Abandon the Advanced Table (ILIAS Page Editor)

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

• There are two types of tables in the ILIAS Page Editor (the Data Table and the Advanced Table). This is very hard to explain.
• The Advanced Table was mainly used for layouting. It's use in this case is very limited, as it is not responsive and it has been replaced by the Column Layout.

2 Technical Information

The abandonment of the Advanced Table would happen in two steps:

• With ILIAS 9 no new Advanced Tables can be created. Page Elements in Advanced Tables can still be edited, but no new Elements can be created. The settings of existing Advanced Tables are read only and can not be changed.
• With ILIAS 10 the code for the Advanced Tables is completely removed. Existing Advanced Tables are not shown in the view of a page. When editing a page the former position of the Advanced Table is marked by a grey place holder with a "forbidden sign" on it. Once the page is saved the element is actively removed from the DOM of the page.
