Hi Carl,
Thank you for your purchase.

You can use Placeholders like predifined value in filters if your table is MySQL based. When you what to use it you need to set Filter type to text.

Unfortunately at the moment is not possible to set current day in filter predefined value.

You can achieve this with SQL query like this

SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE table_name.`name_of_column_that_contain_date` = CURDATE()

Like this will be shown only rows with current day.

If you not use queries, you can also filter the table with Conditional formatting for that column where is available %TODAY% placeholder. You have to set rules like this (attachment 1) where you will set two rules one that is less than %TODAY%  and second that is greater than %TODAY% and set row class for example hide (like in example)

Then you have to make that class in  Custom wpDataTables CSS under the "Custom JS AND CSS" in main settings of wpdatatables.(attachment 2)

table.wpDataTable tr.hide {
display:none !important;
}

Like this will be shown data only for current date.

Best regards.

Hi Carl,

You can try with this filter.

wpdatatables_filter_columns_metadata( $columnsMetadata, $tableId )

This filter is applied to the column's metadata returned from the DB.

$columnsMetadata contain all data from column settings and also default_value which you can modify.

Best regards.
