Hello 64HTM

Thank you for your purchase.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.

You see, we're using jQuery of datatables plugin, which has a specific structure that needs to be followed to create a table. Table description is being forwarded to the admin-ajax URL, and not a custom URL. That has been created to wrap table description within wpDataTables. At the moment we don't have this feature, but we will be working on including VAR as well, since it has been requested a few times already.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You're welcome, sir.

If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.

Hello Andy

I'm not sure if this can be done with a workaround now, but I did forward the ticket to one of our developers. As soon as I hear from him, I will let you know.

Hello again Andy

We don't have this built-in yet, but you can with a workaround. Please note that this does require some experience with writing SQL queries and using WP hooks.

You can create a table with a query like this:

SELECT 
user_id, 
user_name, 
user_address,
CONCAT('<a href="http:/yoursite.com/your_custom_page?user_id=',user_id,'">Details</a>') AS Details
FROM your_table_name

Then, on your_custom_page you will insert a shortcode of the table ID that you need, with a placeholder like this:

[wpdatatable id=1 var1=1]

The second table would be created from a query like this:

SELECT * FROM second_table WHERE user_id = %VAR1%

After that, you can use a hook for dynamic placeholders:

function updateVAR1($tableID){  global $wdtVar1;      //check is set GET parametar user_id
    if(isset($_GET['user_id'])){
        //get value from form fieald
        $wdtVar1 = $_GET['user_id'];
    }  }
add_action('wpdatatables_before_get_table_metadata', 'updateVAR1');

I hope this helps you achieve the results that you need.

Hello Kumar.

As mentioned before, we're using the jQuery of datatables plugin, which has a specific structure that needs to be followed to create a table. Table description is being forwarded to the admin-ajax URL, and not a custom URL. That has been created to wrap table description within wpDataTables.

At the moment, only the workaround posted in my previous response can be used. Our developers will work on this in the future, but it's not easy to implement a new feature like this, so other than developing it, we'll also have to go through thorough testing before it is released.

Sorry Zakaria, we have not yet implemented this.

Maybe Andy here can share his workaround so you can use it, but please feel free to add this to our feature suggestions page, so it's up for voting.

Hello Engin.

Sorry for the late response.

The hooks (actions or filters) are usually added to themes or child themes, in the functions.php file, and what I sent to Andy is just an example.

Please note that using hooks requires coding skills and is not included in the provided support for the plugin. Other than sharing an example, I, unfortunately, can't provide any further assistance in this case.
