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!
hi, i need to show the name of the pdf in the table like ssh.pdf (attachment type), how i can do that???any code to do it??
thanks,
slaouti
Hi slaouti,
Thank you for your purchase.
This is how this column type is designed. It will always take column name as table cell value. This can be changed with some custom coding. You can also use Url column type where you can modify name for the link of that url. There is also solution with string column type where you can insert html tags for link.
Kind Regards,
Isidora Markovic

could you tell me what file should i modify to do that and what should i modify? shouldn't be the default behavior of the plugin cause when i bought it, i thought it will display the name of the pdf and even now i don't see anywhere in your website that the column will behave like this,also the url column type and string column type solution couldn't be done by a simple editor who don't know html especially when he's old.
Hi slaouti,
Please note that customization questions like this one are not covered in the included support for the plugin. Included support covers help with bugs and general inquiries for the plugin features, but not writing custom code. As you're developing some custom solution if you need our assistance we can offer you our paid customization service.
I can gave you a hint that you have to modify file
wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.link.wpdatacolumn.php
When you use url column you don't need knowledge of html. If you read in our documentation about url column you can see instructions how to achieve your request. What you need to do is to insert url of that file, "two sticks" and plain text that you need(you don't need html knowledge for this ).
If the content of the cells contains a combination of “two sticks” – || – everything to the left of this combination is used as an URL address for the link, and everything to the right as displayed text. For example:
https://wpdatatables.com||Check out wpDataTables
will be rendered as:
Check out wpDataTables
And in your case:
http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/myfile.pdf||myfile.pdf
will be rendered as:
myfile.pdf
