Good afternoon.
I need to save in the database the date of the last update and the name of the user that made the change (the one logged in wordpress). Is there a way I can do that with the datatable plugin when editing the columns or that can I intercept the data at the moment of saving and inserting this information in any part of the scripts that saves it?

I basically created two new columns in the database table, and what I want to do is keep that columns as not editable by the user, but get the values from the system (current date and logged user)

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for the purchase.
Unfortunately something like this is not possible out of the box, but it can be achieved with Custom Coding. If you don't want to change plugin code, you could create Custom Page Template and place PHP logic there. You can use wp_get_current_user() function to get current logged-in user. To see how to get the current date you can take a look at this link. If you need our assistance with this we can offer you our paid customization service.

Good morning Milos.

I have solved the problem this weekend with the exact same idea you just gave me. I've created a PHP page and some JavaScript code to get the logged user and the date, then I intercept any changes in the table and trigger the code to append the desired information before saving the data.

Thank you very much for your help.
