We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    hi there,

    We're developing an very simple app to allow people to manage their bladder inputs and output ;-). 

    Believe it or not, one of the features of the app is to select the colour of their urine. 

    So far I've been able to display colours in the table displaying the data using conditional formatting, however we need to be able to display these colours in the input form as a select box (or other multi-value selector)           

    Anyone got any ideas how this could be achieved? 

    Cheers

    Matt

    Hi matthall_5,
    Thank you for the purchase.

    Unfortunately something like this is not possible out of the box, but it can be done with some custom coding. With built-in features it is possible only to use text in selectboxes/multi-value selectboxes. Probably it can be done with some custom CSS that you can add directly on your page between <style> </style> tags. Please send me the link of your table so I can take a look at it.

    Hi matthall_5,

    Sorry for delayed reply, the ticketing system was not working yesterday.

    When I go to your page Not found, error 404 can you please check that your page exists and it is published?

    Hi Matt,

    You can add this CSS on wpDataTables settings page in Custom CSS field or directly on the page between <style></style> tags.

    #table_1_edit_dialog > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(7) > td:nth-child(2) > div > div > span:nth-child(1) {
    background-color: #dd3333 !important;
}
#table_1_edit_dialog > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(7) > td:nth-child(2) > div > div > span:nth-child(2) {
    background-color: #999414 !important;
}
#table_1_edit_dialog > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(7) > td:nth-child(2) > div > div > span:nth-child(3) {
    background-color: #4e40cb !important;
}

    This is for first 3 options. Just change the last number to change the option and this should work.
