I need a plugin that will create a table on my website that is basically a placeholder. When the user logs in, I want the table data to be populated based on their user ID. I don't want to pre-populate the table and then insert it, because the users will be changing data routinely and adding to it. When they add data to the table, I want it to update. Do the SQL tables update and have the ability to only display data based on the user id?
Yes, of course, we have 5 Placeholders which you can use, and %CURRENT_USER_ID% is one of them. This placeholder will be replaced with the ID of a currently logged-in user (if the user is logged in), so it will only display the rows associated with the user's ID.
thank you! Is it possible to pass a value to the placeholder variables from user front end navigation rather than in the shortcose? For example:
Member clicks on a link in their member page that goes to a new page and passes a value at the same time via post method. Then, on the receiving page, a new table is set up to receive that variable and pass it to the placeholder?
This probably can be done with some custom work, which doesn't fall under included support of the plugin.
You can take a look at our Filters and Hooks and maybe you'll find what you need there. Please note that using hooks requires certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.
Hello,

Hello Brad.
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
Yes, of course, we have 5 Placeholders which you can use, and %CURRENT_USER_ID% is one of them. This placeholder will be replaced with the ID of a currently logged-in user (if the user is logged in), so it will only display the rows associated with the user's ID.
You can also take a look at the "Users see and edit only own data" feature.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
