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 would like to know the following: Once my table is created and populated or after that filtered, is there any (easy, or not) way to access the data inside the table to add it to any part of my website?
e.g.: A simple book database with name, author, subject and cover. Now I want to use a CSS Card to display the data in any record I decide in a more "beautiful" way. Is it feasable?
Thanks for your help
Hi Francisco Dávila,
Thank you for the inquiry.
There is a way to access the data using https://datatables.net/ API. We are using this library as main table library and datatables has API methods that allows you to do different things with the table using JavaScript.
"Now I want to use a CSS Card to display the data in any record I decide in a more "beautiful" way. Is it feasable?"
- Something like that probably can't be achieved with built-in features and would require some custom coding.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.
Well. I think I can manage with custom coding. If you say I can manipulate the tables with JavaScript I imagine I can access, for example, the results of a filter, and one by one (using a loop) get every field on overy record to populate my css card. And that last part is the tricky one.
Thanks
Hi Francisco Dávila,
If you decide to buy the plugin, please open a support ticket in wpDataTables category, and we will send you how you can access datatables API for wpDataTable and from there you can use various datatables features.
OK. Thanks.
