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!
So I'm trying to combine the functionality which ensures users can only see their own data, whilst also having a related table used for lookup/pulling information from multiple sources. So I've got two MySQL tables, Table A and Table B. I've got a JOIN query to select data from each, which works fine.
However, I'd like to have the users able to update just Table B and I can't seem to get that functionality to work, how should I go about setting the connections/queries/tables up? I can't seem to get the out-of-the-box functionality to work together as explained in the documentation.
So I have Table A: Property Information fields (Link, Image, Price, Post Code)
I have Table B: Post-code Lookup (Post Code, Address)
Combined into wpDataTable C: (Link, Image, Price, Post Code -> Address Editable Drop-down Field)
No matter how I configure, it doesn't seem to i) Correctly populate the Address options with those corresponding to that Post Code, ii) Correctly save edits.
**Edit: uninstalling and re-installing fixed the following:
Even with a stripped-back example, on table https://www.reagency.co.uk/wp-table-test/ I can't seem to make any edits stick.
The below issues relating to Foreign Keys, User Edits, Drop-down Edits still apply.
Hi Jon
I see edits wok fine, so that's good news.
However, I am not sure how you've created this table. You're mentioning using JOIN through the query, but then mention Foreign Keys as well.
Edit works when I try it out on your table - I can enter a new row, and edit it without issues.
Like mentioned in our documentation, though, Only one MySQL table can be edited at a time. Queries from multiple tables with joins cannot be used as an editable feature, since SQL UPDATE and INSERT statements are generated automatically, and there currently is no way to update multiple tables.
