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!

Okay

    Hi 

    I can't make Formidable pro shortcode to rendered in wpdatable.

    The value is always the shortcode not the value of the shortcode

    It seems the problem is the [id]  shortcode is not rendered by Formidable pro.

    I want to created an url which will redirect to the original form... seems more difficult to do then I thought

    Thanks

    Hi gpmwebsrc,
    Thank you for the inquiry.

    As I understand you want to parse this shortcode in the table cell? If that is what you want to achieve you should check "Parse shortcodes" option on wpDataTables settings page.

    The goal is to create a url link to the original formidable form entry. I can't create it inside Formidable since the ID is created when entry is saved not before.

    In WPdatatable I have a field which contain the first part of the url and another field with the correct formidable entry ID. Is there a way to concatenate those fields and create this link? Or do you have another option to create this link?

    Thanks

    Hi Milos,

    I tried with "Parse shortcodes" option checked in WPDatatable and it doesn't work. This shortcake [id] is produce by Formidable.

    Thanks

    Hi Guy,

    "The goal is to create a url link to the original formidable form entry. I can't create it inside Formidable since the ID is created when entry is saved not before."

    Unfortunately you can't combine values from two fields to merge them into the one value. Probably for something like that you'll need some custom coding.

    "I tried with "Parse shortcodes" option checked in WPDatatable and it doesn't work. This shortcake [id] is produce by Formidable."

    - When you paste that shortcode on some page or on some post what will be parsed instead of it? I am not sure what are you trying to achieve exactly. Can you please provide me some example or some screenshot?

    Hi Milos,

    I want to have a URL link in one column of my wpdatatable which will get me back to the original form in formidable when I want to edit values.

    Thanks

    Hi gpmwebsrc,

    I don't think this is possible with the current version of the plugin. We have plans for future updates to add editing feature for Formidable Form based wpDataTables so you'll not have to go to the page where you can edit form entries than you'll be able to do that directly from wpDataTables interface.
