[oXygen-sdk] Form controls on (simple)table elements.

[Alex Jitianu]

Hello,

The table layout imposes a few restrictions. You must put the button 
(actually any static content) on a BEFORE/AFTER pseudo element and also 
very important, the "display" property for the element must be set to 
"block":

       @Override
       public Styles filter(Styles styles, AuthorNode authorNode) {
         if (authorNode.getType() == AuthorNode.NODE_TYPE_PSEUDO_ELEMENT
             && 
PseudoElementInterface.BEFORE.equals(authorNode.getName())) {
           AuthorElement realElement = (AuthorElement) 
authorNode.getParent();
           AttrValue attribute = realElement.getAttribute("class");
           if (attribute.getValue().contains(" topic/simpletable ")) {
             // The Before element of a simple table. It must be a block 
if it is to be rendered.
             styles.setProperty(Styles.KEY_DISPLAY, "block");

             Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put(InplaceEditorCSSConstants.PROPERTY_TYPE, 
InplaceEditorCSSConstants.TYPE_BUTTON);
properties.put(InplaceEditorCSSConstants.PROPERTY_ACTION_ID, 
"insert.table");
             StaticContent editorContent = new EditorContent(properties);

             styles.setProperty(Styles.KEY_MIXED_CONTENT, new 
StaticContent[] {editorContent});
           }
         }
         return styles;
       }

Best regards,
Alex
