Question again about table with cascading filters

    I asked a while back if I can duplicate this table with the filters you see with this plugin, and I was told no.

    Im not seeing why I cannot do the same table using this plugin with powerful filter addon.

    If I create a table in the db first then create a table with the plugin using a mysql query to load sport/most recent data/spread/fractional odds and have powerful filters make independent filters the same as in the example url for people to filter as they wish.

    Also, Im confused why I was told that if I use html in the cells of the table for formatting and styling, why there would be a conflict with the filters working. If an odd cell belongs to Decimal or American. When you filter for Decimal or American the table will display the cells for that data regardless if there is html in the cells or not. Am I missing something? The other thing I was told no about was having images in the column headers like they have in the example url. So there is no way to do that? If not its not a big deal, but I don't see why you cannot do the rest of it.

    Because I was told no, I went and bought the toolset plugin.

    Hello Mark.

    I asked a while back if I can duplicate this table with the filters you see with this plugin, and I was told no.

    Yes, we told you that the website from ticket description could not be duplicated, but that you can make a similar website, with different look, and similar feel.

    If I create a table in the db first then create a table with the plugin using a mysql query to load sport/most recent data/spread/fractional odds and have powerful filters make independent filters the same as in the example url for people to filter as they wish.

    This is true, and can be done, but just like we discussed in the other ticket - using Powerful Filters and pre-defined column filter option is not possible without custom work.

    If an odd cell belongs to Decimal or American. When you filter for Decimal or American the table will display the cells for that data regardless if there is html in the cells or not.

    If you use Float type column, the plugin itself won't let you add anything else other than numbers that would be separated either with a comma, or with a dot. If you use "string" type column, you can add whatever you want to the cell, be it numerals, HTML tags, or just plain text.

    The other thing I was told no about was having images in the column headers like they have in the example url. So there is no way to do that?

    That is correct, unfortunately at the moment there's no built-in option that'd allow you to add images to column headers.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
