I would like to create a link from a "Companies" table to show "Related Contacts" like this. The link would lead to another table (sql query) which is filtered to only show Contacts related to that specific company like this.
All of your url column pre-filtering examples show the filter term already in the URL like:
I REALLY need to be able to create the URL based on whatever value is in the first column, but can't see any way to do it. I see:
"You can also predefine column filter values for the table in the URL, which may come in handy. For example, when you want to send your client a deeplink with some info from your catalog that is already filtered for him. The URL key that will be parsed by the wpDataTables is “wdtColumnFilter[KEY]” where the KEY is either a zero-based numerical index of the column you want to filter, or an initial header of the column (header or the CSV or Excel table, or MySQL column header for MySQL-based column header), e.g.,"
So how to I get the column filter to work? Merge tag? Placeholder?
Please note that we have a National holiday in our country from Monday 30th to Wednesday 2nd and because of that, there was a delay in reply to your tickets. Thank you for understanding.
Yes you need to insert hole url with filter that you need for each link.If you use url column type then you have to insert filter for every row for example:
Just so I'm clear, the "Contact1" in your example needs to be manually customized for each row? Is there a merge tag that I can put in it's place so the URL can be ready to go once a new row is added?

Yes, you need to manually customize Contact for each row. Sorry for disappointment but something like this is not possible with built in features of plugin.
