How to Enable Table Resizing with Mouse in CKEditor 4

Hello Everyone,

I am using CKEditor 4 in a project, and I’ve encountered an issue with table resizing. When I paste tables from Excel or create them directly within CKEditor, I am unable to resize the table or its columns using the mouse.

Is there a plugin or configuration that enables table resizing with the mouse in CKEditor 4? Any guidance on how to install or use such a plugin would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you are using this component: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/6885/ckeditor-reactive .

There are 3 steps you need to do in order to add the plugin:

  • Either edit the CKEditor component directly from Forge or create a clone and modify it.

  • Add the plugin’s JavaScript file in the Resources tab and specify the target directory.

Download link: https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/tableresize 

Target directory: .\ckeditor\plugins\tableresize

  • Update the CKEditor script to include the newly added plugin using the extraPlugins configuration.



I did update the component for you with the added table resize plugin.

Hi @Neha Singh ,

There is a plugin available for table resizing: Table Resize .

You can enable the plugin by using the extraPlugins configuration setting.

config.extraPlugins = 'tableresize';

Hi, could you share your OML file or let me know if you're using any Forge components for CKEditor?
