Hello Allen.

Please note that using hooks requires certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.

You would need to find the wpdatatables_after_frontent_edit_row function inside the coding of the plugin, and see how it works. You will see there what comes up for formdata, rowid and tableid.

I don't believe you'll be able to set $name here, unless in a function, but again that falls under custom work, which is not included in the support of the plugin.

Best regards.

Hi again Allen.

The wpdatatables_after_frontent_edit_row can be found in ../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/controllers/wdt_ajax_actions.php

As is explained in documentation for this action:

$formdata is the array of keys and values for editing

Structure of this parameter depends on data in your table so you have to debug it and see what is returned in array of keys and values.

You can create a custom PHP script that would tell if you if the code is firing when you configure it. One of our users called the function after the user made an update to the data in the table with this:

add_action( 'wpdatatables_after_frontent_edit_row', 'updateSID', 10, 3 );
function updateSID( $formdata, $rowId, $tableId ) { 
exec("php /home/calljuggler/www/admin/d.php");
}
     
do_action ('wpdatatables_after_frontent_edit_row', $formdata = true, $rowId = true, $tableId = 1 );

Where d.php is the custom script I was talking about. Eventually they got it working with:

// dsr //
function updateSID($formdata, $rowId, $tableId) { 
if ($tableId == 1) {
$lfile = '/home/calljuggler/www/admin/it-Ran.txt';
$current = file_get_contents($lfile);
$current .= $tableId; 
file_put_contents($lfile, $current); 
exec("/usr/local/bin/php /home/calljuggler/www/admin/d.php");
} 
}
add_action( 'wpdatatables_after_frontent_edit_row', 'updateSID', 10, 3);
// dsr //

I hope this helps.

Best regards.
