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!
If I have a one to many relation of complex tables, can I view and edit the tables on the same page?
Let's use a classic case to explain what I need (attachment below):
if I want to choose products inside order details, I would use a dropdown as ilustrated at https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/front-end-editing/configuring-table-relations-foreign-key/
However, what I need is a bit more complex. I want to show the tables orders and orderdetails in the same page to add new orders and several new orderdetails to each order.
Adding a new order: When I create a new order, I would like to add several items at the orderdetails table (products, quantities and prices) in the same page. At this example, ordernumber would be a hidden foreign key at orderdetails table and this field should be automatically populated by the active ordernumber in orders table.
Viewing orders: When naviganting between orders, the selection of one order should instantly refresh the query in orderdetails table in the same page to show only the records related to that especific order. And then, I should be able to edit the orderdetails.
Could you teach me how to do this?
Hi Luis,
Thank you for your purchase.
You have to make SQL query that return data that you need. After that you should use "Creating Tables in WordPress based on MySQL queries" and that table will be editable.
Kind Regards,
