In our application we are trying to show a couple of table with an ajax request (adding an action hooks)

So we try this in our funtion.php

Function table(){

    echo do_shortcode('[wpdatatables id=80]'

}add_action('wp_ajax_table', 'table')

The table shows but it seem that it does not has format. No like we use the standar shortcode '[wpdatatables id=80]' in any par of the website.

Any suggestion to get the table from an ajax request?

I figure it out.

When I disable "hide the table before it is fully loaded" the table shown as they should. <--NOTE: THIS IS KEY

In addition, I change Id of the table in order it does not create a conflict with other table. It is because when it used  do_shortcode('[wpdatatables id=x]' ), it return always 'table_1' so It should be change to do not get a conflict with the others tables in the page.

I left the script for reference. I hope it will be helpful.

I use table_20 as a replace. You could use any.

function gettable1() {
   $html = do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=80]');
   $html = str_replace('table_1','table_20',$html);
   print_r( $html, false );
   wp_die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_gettable','gettable1');

and in you javascript code something like:

$.('#yourdiv').html(str_html)

$('#table_20).Datatable();  //draw your table

Hi Aleksander.

Another question.

In the regular load page (no ajax) Im doing this: 

I called more than once  $html = do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=80]'); its mean:

 $html = do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=80]');  //it return always table_1 as id

...

....

 $html = do_shortcode('[wpdatatable id=92]'); //but it return any id table. table_3 or table_23 etc. Any id.

The thing is, How can I identify this id if I save in the $html the result of the do_shortcode?

Any easy way to get the current wpdatatable id used? any function in the library? 

I know this is a 3 year old ticket but I am having the same exact issue.  Can you provide some more detailed code to address this issue?

Thanks for the reply, I understand that.  What I don't understand is the code he used.  Is it possible to give me a quick example?
