i have a source file for my tablse which is update every 3 sec.
it is saved as a json file format
if i create a json base table does it updates only once when a user reach my webpage or does it refresh the table detailed every time the source is updated? if yes do you have a parameter to control what is the frequency the table is updated time wise?
If you create wpDataTable from external JSON file that will be updated, wpDataTable will automatically update the data. However it is not possible to update the data while user is on the page, than user must refresh the page to see updated data.
It is possible to automatically refresh the data while user is on the page only with MySQL based wpDataTables and there is a parameter to control the frequency of this refresh.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.

Hi Eric,

does the table refresh and update automatically if i link the table to a google spreadsheet doc?
Hi Eric,
Yes, but you must also refresh the page in order to see changes.
