Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    Hi, 

    as you can see on the link the third column is cut, i can display the whole text... i had to enable the bottom scroll bar, is possible to enable multiple line for the third column only ?

    Hi nightstorm,

    You have two options here:

    • use "Limit table width" feature which you can find under Display tab and it  will force the table to the width of the parent container. This will give you the option to also choose "word wrap" option which break long strings into multiple lines 
    • Second option would be to use HTML instead of plain text in column type string and that will give you the option to control line breaking by inserting the <br> tag where you want a line to break

    Ok thanks, last question, is it possible to change the type of table, like switching between

    Create a table linked to an existing data source.

    (Excel, CSV, Google Spreadsheet, MySQL query, XML, JSON, serialized PHP array). Data will be read from the source every time on page load. Only MySQL-based tables can be made editable.

    TO

    Create a table by importing data from data source.

    (Excel, CSV, Google Spreadsheet). Data will be imported to MySQL, the table can be edited in WP admin, or made front-end editable.

    Hi nightstorm,

    There is no easy way to switch table types but it should not take more than couple of minutes to create new table from same file and apply all the settings.

    yep it's done, another thing, when i switch to a different page, it does move the cursor to the top of the table, it stays at the bottom, is there a way to auto move up to the top of the table when i switch to different pages ?

    Hi nightstorm,

    There is no built in tool to do that in wpDataTables but you should not have problem to find JS code snippet online, which will do that

    Something also good to add is a copy to clipboard per row button (popup)
