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!
Can I query wpDataTables (especially, if it manages an external table/database) from another website (or mobile app)?
Reason: I am planning to host some independent database/tables on a WP-site. Can I query these tables from another site through wpDataTables backend-code or do I need to use own code?
If that works: how is authentication handled? Is there anything like an access-token, or does it use WP's authentication?
I couldn't find anything in the documentation about that.
Thanks in advance
Andy
Hi Andy Fuchs,
Thank you for the inquiry.
It is possible to create wpDataTable from separate MySQL table. If you set-up separate MySQL table you will use this database for all your tables. In the next release we will implement feature that you can set separate database connection per table. Also we will add support for PostgreSQL and MS SQL.
You can read more about separate database connection at this link from our documentation.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.
Hi Milos,
ah well - yes this looks pretty good... I saw that video already, but it's not really what I'm intending to do... But your next feature (using different connections per table) comes **very** close - so thanks for that hint.
And while we're at it: Is support for SQLite also something you have in your pipeline? That would be very helpful as well. Currently I'm using the SQLiteIntegration plugin quite often, which makes moving a WP-site a no-brainer (but the plugin itself is a bit abandonned)
Anyway - I think I will give wpDataTables a spin for my next project (and if the multi-connection feature comes, there will certainly follow some more :))
Thank you for your support!
Andy
Hi Andy Fuchs,
You are welcome. Unfortunately for now we don't have SQLite integration in our backlog but this is something that we will think on if there will be more users that request this feature.
