Hello,
I'm strongly considering purchasing wpDataTables, and a big part of my front-end functionality will depend upon using column calculations which then display the resutling column calc result elswhere in the site as a dyamic result.
For this, it looks like I could use https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/calculation-functions/ the parse shortcodes functionality to show a dynamically calculated column sum or average elsewhere in the site.
That said, It is also critically important that I can read that same variable value, such as the sum of a certain column, with javascript or jquery.
Is it possible to get the value displayed by a dynamic shortcode such as a dynamic calculated column sum, and then use it/display it using javascript?
TLDR; is it possible to get the results of a table column sum into a usable javascript or php variable for other code/calculations/display?
Thanks for your advice!
Jason
Hi Jason,
Thank you for the inquiry.
You could take a value from SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX shortcode with JavaScript or with jQuery and then store it in some JS variable.
For PHP it would be little complicated than with jQuery.
