Hi

Can you advise how I can pass variable to wpdatatables shortcode in post or page?

My situation is I have to render dynamic table (in term of row data) by passing variable data to the shortcode. I see that you have an example on how to pass variable in shortcode but it is a static variable on the post or page.

Thank you.

Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for your reply. I have looked at the document but I can't figured out how to pass variable to page by using query string. 

Can you give me some suggestion please?

Thank you.

Hi Bogdan,

The problem is I would like to pass variable via querystring. 

i.e. http://localhost?var1=data1&var2=data2. 

In my post or page will have shortcode [wpdatatable id=1 var1= {getting value from querystring "var1"}]

In this way, I can dynamic rendering the table on the same post or page.

However, now I figured out how to make it happens. (since it seems this capability is not available in current version of your product.) I wish if you could add this capability it would be nice because it is something similar to ajax feature that you already have.

But thank you for your reply.

I think that would be a really good idea to make, at the same time I have a table where I would like to be able to
filter it out when called by the shortcut, it would be very convenient to have placeholders here that could be used
in the backend.

%var1% = Value and then place this placeholder, eg. could be used in a filter situation or anywhere else you want
to give some flexibility to the frontend when showing the table.

The only way to do it now is using a SQL database, but a great table plugin
