Do you have any old code, that froze the header and column. Without it, the wpDataTable tool is not of use to me. I have a developer that will work with the code to make it happen, but without freezing the headers and the first column, I can't use the product, and perhaps I can't use Wordpress for the project,
Unfortunately something like this is not possible to achieve with the plugin built in features.
Here is the suggestion from our customer that managed to achieve this
I actually created a fixed header and column using translation of x and y (no absolute or fixed position used), very similar to the fixed header provided by weihs5 on this site, and here's one solution, take a look:
First of all, you gotta set the z-index for each component below:
And here's the scrollBlock() part, it is ugly though, but it works for me though. (noted: the numbers work for my theme, if it is not working correctly on yours, then try to adjust the number until it fits.)
function scrollBlock(){
var table = document.querySelector('table');
var top = table.getBoundingClientRect().top;
top = document.body.className.search('admin') > 0 ? top - 32 : top + 3; // this value can change var left = table.getBoundingClientRect().left; if(left >= 20){ // before scrolling left (before transforming) if(top >= 0){ // before reaching header bar jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY(0px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); } else{ // after reaching header bar jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY( " + (-top) + "px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), 0, -top); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), 0, 0); } } else{ // after scrolling left if(top >= 0){ jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY(0px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); } else{ jQuery("#table_1 thead th").css("transform", "translateY( " + (-top) + "px)"); translate(jQuery("table th:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, -top); translate(jQuery("table td:nth-child(1)"), -left + 46, 0); } } }
function translate(element, x, y) {
var translation = "translate(" + x + "px," + y + "px)"
element.css({
"transform": translation,
"-ms-transform": translation,
"-webkit-transform": translation,
"-o-transform": translation,
"-moz-transform": translation,
});
}
It is kind of messy, you definitely can't copy and paste and expect it to work for you. You need to spend some time to figure it out. Hope this helps everyone!

HI CLIFF,
Thank you for your purchase.

Then you gotta add listener on scroll like this:
If your table is set to be scrollable, then you might want to add this in as well:
