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!
Hello! I have a few questions.
Is it possible to use "WpDataTables" without shortcodes?
For solving of my task, it is necessary to form the conditions of MySQL request for construction of the table from a database after the user specifies necessary parameters. I need do this without page reloading, with AJAX request.
Could you tell me if there is a possibility to initiate updating of the table data by changing the parameters of the SQL query (or at least the values of the variables % VAR1%,% VAR2%, etc.) directly from the frontend without updating the page - via ajax request, and php hook or some other way?
If this is not possible, tell me how to use JS to apply a filter for the table column?
Maybe there is a spetial, more detailed documentation for developers for using hooks and filters?
Thanks for your work!
Hi dolinkov,
Thank you for your purchase.
Unfortunately this is not possible with build in features of the plugin but it can be probably done with some custom coding.
It is possible to place wpdatatable on the page or post without using shortcode than using do_shortcode() function. Like that you will be able to pass placeholders variables dynamically.
Also you will need to create custom page template where you will add this function.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,

Hi, Bogdan!
Thanks for answer!
Could you tell me if I can use AJAX request to call do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=1]') ( or something like do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=1 table_view=regular var1=user_token_variable] ')) and than take html data back to frontend into $.ajax result?
Or it's only for substitution variable in shortcode at the rendering of the page and couldn't using after that?
Thanks again!

Hi dolinkov,
Sorry for late reponse we are currently busy with release of the Beta 2.0 version of our plugin.
I am not really sure if you could use AJAX to call do_shortcode function, but if you have defined variables you can use them in do_shortcode function to display the table dynamically based on these variables.
You can maybe try to find some threads here about using AJAX and do_shortcode function together - Link 1- Link 2
Thank you for understanding.
Best regards.
