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!
Hi there,
i have a feature request which in my opinion would heavily increase the number of use cases for which wpdatatables could be used.
It would be great, when creating a table, i could use some kind of placeholder like the shortcode placeholders, but not get them from the shortcode itself, i need to get it out of the URL.
So for example, i open a page/url with a table like this:
www.mypage.com/sitewithatable/?wdt_placeholder=99
then i could use %placeholder% in the sql query of the datatable.
I know i could use /?wdt_column_filter[1]=99, but for huge tables this is just applied as a filter and the performance is not good for that.
Regards,
Michael
Hello Michael.
Thank you for your suggestion. We carefully follow customers requirements and try to implement most of them if they appear in requests from time to time, so we will add this to our idea list and look into some possible solutions on plugin side in the future.
At the moment, you can define %VAR1%, %VAR2% and %VAR3% in Placeholders tab above the table, and use it in the query to filter the table with it. Also, I believe you know you can add a shortcode like [wpdatatables id=1 var1=90], and pre-filter the table like that.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
