I'm attempting to create a calculator using the wpDataTables plugin. I'm able to almost reach the desired state, but the table is editable by everyone, which is not desired. So my idea was to then use the "Limit editing to own data only" option, but this makes the user have to be logged in and they have to start the table all over, again not ideal. Is there a way to work around this?
Requirements: Table fills with initial columns/rows, is editable, can only be edited and viewed by that specific user, and doesn't require someone to login.
Is this possible with this plugin, or any way to work around adding in this?
You have option to set Editor role which can edit the data in table on front-end, but they have to be logged in to edit the table. It is not possible to set Editor roles and then the user can edit data if he is not logged in.
Thank you Milan for the quick response. I'm wondering if it is also possible to have some fields show up for a user, even if "Limit editing to own data only" is selected? Can some rows already be configured to start? Or is there no way around it?
Thank you! Hopefully you can add some of this functionality if it isn't possible, because it would make it a super powerful tool. :)
Thank you for your suggestion.We carefully follow customers requirements and try to implement most of them if they appears in requests from time to time so we will add to our idea list and look into some possible solutions on plugin side in future.
