Hello, I just purchased your plugin and love it! Obviously, just learning to work with it, so I have a few questions.
How do I style the filter button? Right now it is shows up in light gray with black type in your preview, but a dark blue and the type is dark grey on my site. Makes it very difficult to see. I assume that my theme is over writing the style. What do I need to specify?
Is there a way to get the table to automatically fit the size of the page without horizontal scrolling?
There is a huge amount of spacing between the filers and table. How can I adjust that space?
Finally, I would like my Event Type field to, when clicked on, show a drop down list of the options available. I went to the field editing window, choose "allow filtering" and choose checkbox. This previews correctly in your preview, but doesn't show up on my site. The field shows the down arrow, but nothing happens when you click on it. Is that due to a plugin conflict or something else?
I believe the theme is responsible for both the "Clear filters" button, and for the spacing between the filters and the table.
To change the color of the text inside the "Clear Filters" button, simply add the following code in Custom JS and CSS, under CSS field in main wpDataTables settings:
.wpdt-c .button.btn.wdt-clear-filters-button {
color: white !important;
}
The blank space between can be reduced by a little bit with this CSS:
To make the table fit the page, you need to enable the "Limit table width" slider, and "Word wrap" is optional (if you want the content of the cells to wrap inside the cell) (see attachment).
As for select box (drop down - see attachment Selection_011) to be available from inside the table, you need to enable these two sliders:
Change the column's settings so it loads values from a list, like shown in attachment "Selection_014".
And finally, under column's settings, under Editing tab, select the Editor input type to be Single-value select box:
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
I fixed the "Clear Filters" button text and background color. Is there a way to give the button a different color on hoover?
With Scrollable selected the option for Limit Table width was hidden which was a little confusing. I don't know if showing that option greyed out might be a good way to show it's there if something is selected/not selected.
I don't have "Editing" as an option in any of my windows (Is that because I'm linking a CSV file?). For example, I see Data Source / Display / Sorting and Filtering / Table Tools (but not editing). Maybe I'm having a similar issue to the above where it's there, but I need to turn something on/off.
Yes, you can change the color of the button on hover, with this CSS:
.wpdt-c .button.btn.wdt-clear-filters-button:hover {
background-color: green !important;
}
When you set the table to be scrollable, the "Limit Table width" disables automatically because it limits the table's width to the width of the page, and Scrollable option allows you to display a table wider than the page, with the option to scroll through the table. It is made for really wide tables, with a lot of columns. So this behavior is expected.
You're correct about the Editing option. When you create a table linked to an existing file source (first option), editing will be unavailable for Excel, CSV, XML, JSON and Google Spreadsheet files, simply because you're creating a table from an existing source, and it is only displaying the values.
Please note: Once you create a table from a CSV file, changes in this file like:
Changing the column’s name,
Changing the column’s order,
Deleting the column, and
Adding a new column.
are highly not recommended, because the table in the wpDataTable plugin will not work, at the moment. If you make any of these changes, please recreate the table again.
You can make changes in the source file (upon upload it'll be stored in ../wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH) and that's the file you need to modify in order for wpDataTables to display those changes, but please look out for changes listed above.
The way to use an external file source and still be able to modify the tables, you need to use the third option (Create a table by importing data from data source). This way, the original (source) file will remain unchanged, but you can edit the tables in our plugin.
Sorry, I'm still a little confused. I am currently linking a csv file. I am only changing the data file which will only have data changes. Currently that is working fine.
I'm wondering if with my linking a csv, if I can set a column when clicked on the filter to show the options available. For example if the column only contains "1", "2", and "3", when clicking on the filter for that column it would only show those items as options.
There is probably a conflict with the bootstrap.js files.
Please go to wpDataTables main Settings on Your wp-admin page. You'll see Include full bootstrap front-end and Include full bootstrap back-end. Disable both sliders, hit Apply and refresh Your page.
Please let me know if You managed to resolve the issue.
As I said in my review, I know there is a lot more that I'll be able to do with this plugin as I learn more about it. So, I'll probably have more questions for you later...:-)
When clicking on the Event Type filter, it seems that all the options are appearing except, "Skyhoundz Classic Last Chance Qualifier." Do you know why that might be?
The row appears in the column correctly (9/20/19).
I believe I know what the issue here is. You only have 10 values in that select-box, so I'm guessing the "Number of possible values to load" is set to "10":
Just open the "Event Type" column's settings, and change that number from "10" to "All" and it should display everything.

Hi Peter.
I opened this page https://skyhoundz.com/competition_schedule/ and saw that the drop down for "Event Type" doesn't work.
There is probably a conflict with the bootstrap.js files.
Please go to wpDataTables main Settings on Your wp-admin page. You'll see Include full bootstrap front-end and Include full bootstrap back-end. Disable both sliders, hit Apply and refresh Your page.

Hello Aleksandar:
Continuing on the same issue discussed earlier on filtering:
https://skyhoundz.com/competition_schedule/
When clicking on the Event Type filter, it seems that all the options are appearing except, "Skyhoundz Classic Last Chance Qualifier." Do you know why that might be?
The row appears in the column correctly (9/20/19).
Thanks,
Peter
Hey, Peter.
I believe I know what the issue here is. You only have 10 values in that select-box, so I'm guessing the "Number of possible values to load" is set to "10":
Just open the "Event Type" column's settings, and change that number from "10" to "All" and it should display everything.
Please let me know if this helps.
