    I have 2 questions.

    1)  I have a table that lists, 

    users/printer/ink cartridge model/ink inventory (a number)/etc


    Multiple users use the same printer.    

    Table Example,

    1) User A      |    HP Printer    |      HP Cartridge model   |     5 (inventory of ink)

    2) User B      |    Cannon Pr   |      Cannon Cartridge       |     4

    3) User C      |    Dell Printer  |      Dell Cartridge               |     3

    4)  User D     |    Same HP Pr |      Same HP Cartridge     |     5


    Above is a small table example.    My problem is that i have many people using the same printer.    When a printer cartridge is taken out of stock, i manually remove one from the "inventory of ink" column.    My printer list is very big.     Instead of finding and removing 1 from many columns with the same printer, is there a way to have multiple cells load its value from the same place (from the DB)?   In other words, if i change the HP cartridge inventory from 5 to 4, can it update all the inventory rows with the same hp cartridge?    Or can i specify that wherever the cell pulls it's data from the DB, another cell pulls from the same? 



    My other question is easy,   Can i insert/display a small thumbnail in a cell and use it as a link?

    Hi homemadebyx,
    Thank you for your purchase. 

    Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the build in tools.
    If you are skillful with coding this can be done by using our hooks from documentation and implement the custom code.
    We can offer you our paid customization service where you can hire one of our developers to implement this feature for you, but unfortunately we are close on releasing the new 2.0 version of our plugin and we do not have free developers that you can hire.

    But we can recommend this service for customizations: https://wpkraken.io/?tms-plugins (by this link they would know you come from us) - they do develop such custom solutions, could you please send your inquiry to them?

    About hyperlink images:

    First in Optional column setup you will need to setup the column type and editor input type to be like from the attachment 1. 

     Then in field value you can enter the data in this format

      http://domain.com/thumb.png||http://domain.com/fullsize.png (You can change the URL to your desires)

    You will notice the "two sticks" | | sign

    If the content of the cells contains a combination of “two sticks” – || – then everything to the left of this combination is used as a link to the thumbnail, and everything to the right as a link to the full image size. In attachment 2 you will see my result.
    When you click on a image you will be redirected to see the image full size.

    You can find more information in our documentation about Image columns.
    Hope this can help.

    Thank you for understanding.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi homemadebyx,

    This will be the one of the major updates since the release of the plugin and that will take all parts –back-end, front-end and the code – to the next level, along with introducing new features.
    A modern interface for managing tables (no more scrolling), live realtime preview for all changes on the table (no more preview popup), support for foreign keys, and many more, so stay tuned.

    Best regards.
