I've created a new test site (http://test.devcloud.guru) with no plugins other than wpDataTables (v 1.7.1) and Report Builder for wpDataTables (v 1.0.3)

I've created a new wpDataTable using MySQL of "SELECT user_login, user_email FROM wp_users"

I've created a new report based on the above table along with the following Word template:

Test Report – single report with all data
${wpDataTable.row}
${user_login} (${user_email})
${/wpDataTable.row}
End.

The report runs but the output is simply the same as the template, I.E. no ${} fields have been replaced with data.

Can you tell me what I'm doing stupid please? :)

N.B. I had to downgrade wpDataTables from v2 to v1.7.1 in order for the report builder to pick up the table I created - I presume this is correct and is simply that the report builder isn't yet compatible with v2?

Thanks Milos - I will look again over the weekend then and see whether it's available and then try producing the report again. Thanks for the feedback / template.

Just had notification from CodeCanyon that the new version was there so wiped everything out and installed wpDataTables 2.0 plus latest ReportBuilder (1.1).

The table now shows up but I can no longer progress to the next screen ... I.E. I click the Next button (it registers the click with an animation) but still stops on that screen.

NB. Just in case, I've also changed the query I'm using so that it doesn't return underscores in the field name but no difference.

Any thoughts?

Sorry but still getting the same problem with the Next button (when trying to create a report). I'm using Chrome browser btw.

Would you mind watching the video below and seeing if you can spot anything I'm doing wrong?

NB. Obviously at this point I haven't even uploaded a template so it's nothing to do with that I suspect :)

Doh - I should have tried that Milos - sorry ! Yes, that got me past the "Next" issue :)

However, the original issue is still there - if you log on to the site you will see two reports with two templates, one with underscores and one without. Neither report will extract data .... just can't figure out why :(

Aha! Yes, I can confirm the report works with the template you've posted. I created my templates with Word 2016 - I will try a couple of things (using Word 2013 and then using Word 2016 but in compatibility mode) and see what happens. Will post back my results shortly ...

Scenarios tested so far:

Word 2016 - saving as "Word 2003 compatible"
Error 500 when trying to download/produce the report.

Wordpad - saving as "Office Open XML Document":
Produces report however, loading back in to Wordpad is fine but Word 2016 fails. 
(NB. Word 2016 loads the original Wordpad file - it's only after it's gone through the plugin that it can't open it any more)

Definitely some capability issues to work on by the looks of it  :(

I will try and find a Word 2003 install and try that ...

Ok, as I was going through testing I decided to double check just a normal Word 2016 document - it worked fine!

It looks like I've found the original issue - if you simply hit enter at the end of each line when you are creating the template it works fine and pulls in data. However, if you use shift-enter (in order to keep the text in the same paragraph) it doesn't. I.E. the attached shows a picture of my template with the paragraph marks - the top section didn't work but the bottom section did.

[Update]
It seems that as long as the ${wpDataTable.row} & ${/wpDataTable.row} statements are in separate paragraphs then anything between is handled correctly.
