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!

Placeholders - potential bug

    I think there is a bug with the Placeholders function. When configuring a new table based on a mySQL query, I attempted to substitute a where clause parameter by adding %VAR1%  e.g. 


    SELECT view_user_rank_by_category.`user_id`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`cat_name_for_reporting`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`category_name`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`rank_cat`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`user_iq_score`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`comparison_iq_score`,
           view_user_rank_by_category.`report_dt`
    FROM view_user_rank_by_category
    where user_id = 371 and cat_name_for_reporting = '%VAR1%'

    I placed a variable in the default value 'Intelligence Factor' (without quotes) and when I press 'Apply' the screen goes white at a date/time appears in the top left corner. When I refresh the page the screen returns to query without any placeholder configurations i.e. the last time I saved it. 

    I'd really like to use this feature. Is this an issue you are aware of? or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks

    Hello again Peter.

    If you are using String for Placeholder - ‘variable’ %VAR1% should be surrounded with Single Quote (‘) in the query.

    Please try this, and let me know if it works. If it doesn't, please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check Private Reply so nobody can see them except us.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
