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!

Can I have calculated Link Columns?

    I have a big Formidable Forms site. I would like to use wpDataTables to present Formidable Forms data rather than Formidable Forms native view facility.

    but!

    I need the last column of each data table to have an Edit Link. Therefore I need to know,

    • Can wpDataTables display a calculated URL column? 
      • The calculation would be "/pathtoeditscreen/?action=edit&entry=[id] || Edit"

    Where [id] it the first column in the Formidable Form.

    • In general I would like to be able to add links to the data in any column. 
      • I expect each column definition to have an attributes called "URL to linkto" and "parameters"
      • This would allow the creation of general Master - Detail browsing screens.

    If neither of these two options is possible is my only option to create a physical column in the Formidable Form called "URL Edit Link" and populate it when I create an entry?

    Hi James,
    Thank you for your interest in wpdatatables.

    Sorry for late response. 

    We are located in Serbia and our working time is from 10:00 to 17:00 CET. business days.

    Unfortunately, at the moment with built in features you have to add one more filed in your form where you will manually insert URL links that you need. But when users are familiar with coding then you can take a look in our documentation about Actions and Filters which are defined in wpDataTables plugin for customization's by developers.

    There you will find a lot of useful filters and actions and also you can read more about  filters  wpdatatables_filter_cell_val and wpdatatables_filter_link_cell and check is that what you looking for.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
