Is there a way to extract data from a WPDataTable and create a dynamic page? I currently have php code that will do this from a template that access an external database.
Unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin build in features and it requires some code customization. We can offer you our paid customization service where you can hire one of our developers to implement this feature for you. Our price is 50$/hour. If you are interested please give us detailed instructions and we can send you quote for this service.
So there is no way to access a WPDataTable database table to extract data. Basically all I need is access to the database table created by WPDataTables. I already have php code that will utilize the data to create the dynamic pages. If I can't access these tables, can I request a refund for the plugin?
Due to the digital 'non-returnable' nature of goods we only do refunds when the tool is malfunctioning or not working as described, with prior confirmation that support is unable to resolve the issue. As the revoked license does not make the product non-functional, and because there were lots of abuses, unfortunately we cannot provide the 'return-on-request' refund policy. So we do not refund mistaken purchases, or cases when buyers had their own expectations of features.
To avoid such situations we have a fully-featured 'sandbox' site where one can try plugin's features before purchase, a free version of the plugin which can help to get a better understanding of how the plugin is working, all the plugin's documentation is available to anyone before purchase and we try to clear up all the limitations of different features, and we always answer all pre-purchase questions clearly and honestly so that potential buyers would have clear understanding of how the plugin works.
As for your case, this feature is not included in our plugin build in and it is not advertised on our site or documentation. We can give you some hints how you can accomplish this with our customization services or you can hire some developer to implement this feature for you.
As it is mentioned below, when you click on the link in the first table you will get redirected to the another page with the different URL. You can concat that ID that you get from URL to Variable for example %VAR1%. All you have to do is to create Custom Page Template and to use do_shortcode()function to place wpDataTable on your page. In that shortcode.
For example:
$id = $_GET['id']; //Id that you get from URL
echo do_shortcode("[wpdatatable id=1 var1=$id]");

Hi Bogden,
Clicking on on Title link on this page http://www.nchems.org/test-wdatatables/ now uses a php template that accesses an external database that creates a page like this: http://www.nchems.org/papers-publications/publications-search/publication-detail/?id=87. I would like to like to replace the external database with the WPdataTable. See the second table on this page http://www.nchems.org/test-wdatatables/ to see the entire table with with all the fields visible.
If you have more questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your quick response.

Please give me the hints.
Hi Michele,
You can use wpDataTables variables and placeholders.
Please take a look at this documentation - http://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/using-placeholders/
As it is mentioned below, when you click on the link in the first table you will get redirected to the another page with the different URL.
You can concat that ID that you get from URL to Variable for example %VAR1%.
All you have to do is to create Custom Page Template and to use do_shortcode()function to place wpDataTable on your page. In that shortcode.
For example:
Hope this can help.
Best regards.
