Show x-last columns of a confluence table

Jan Szczepanski

Hello community,

I'm searching for a way to shorten a confluence table in the "view" mode.

Szenario:

We have some pages with huge confluence tables, lets say 40 columns. But we only want to show the last 10 columns.

How can I achieve this?

Info:

We cannot use the HTML add-on from Bobswift, due to a serious security (XSS) vulnerability witch comes with the Add-on.

Regards,
Jan

Dirty but good, we're using an add-on which has a css macro.

td:nth-last-child(+n+6) {
    display: none;
}

Works!

Hi Jan,

I think, this should be possible with a user macro that is filtering columns. I've done something similar, filtering rows with JQuery. Should work with columns too, I think. I've written an article about that here:

Hello Jan,

You can use Table Filter macro for this purpose:

Wrap your table with Table Filter macro.
Add a Hide column filter. You can find it easier to add filter while viewing the page.
Choose columns to hide (or set filter inverse and choose columns to show).
Don't forget to save changes.

You can try it right now on the demo site.

Moin Thomas,

I'll try that one, thanks!

Using a user macro you could actually do it without having to resort to jQuery. Look into the nth-child CSS selector and display: none.
