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!

    I have a MySQL table with a lot of fields that I need users to be able to add and edit.  Is there any way to make the Add/Edit form contain 2 columns, with the fields split between the two columns?


    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi Carl,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    There is no option to do it with built in functionalities. You need to change a code or overwrite it with CSS and quickest solution would be to open a 

    wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/templates/frontend/edit_dialog.inc.php

    and around line 32 find 

    class="form-group col-xs-12"

    and change it to 

    class="form-group col-xs-6"

    Great! Thanks for that tip. Is there any way to override your templates in my theme so that they stay after plugin updates (like how WooCommerce does template overrides in your theme)?

    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi Carl, 

    You could do this with CSS also by targeting those specific fields in modal like

    .modal-body .wdt-edit-dialog-fields-block .form-group {
    width: 50% !important;
}

    in CustomCSS filed on Settings page of our plugin.
