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 just purchased wpDataTables and I have custom tables I built in MySQL that I am able to display as a front end table and edit. However, the tables are all continuous. Is there a way I can create a table that will show only one record at a time and allow the user to add new or edit. Also I have a table that pulls data from multiple MySQL tables, how can I make that front end data editable? My attachment explains it better.
Hello Jason
Thank you for your purchase.
Unfortunately, only one SQL 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 – but this problem is being investigated and pursued.
That looks like a pretty simple join, so maybe you can try removing the semi-colon ( ; ) from the end of the query. It sometimes kicks it off, and you may be able to edit the table after that.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Thanks Aleksandar. What about displaying a single record at a time in a form type of front end as described in the attachement? Is there a way to do that in WPDataTables? I looked into the Gravity and Formidable add ons but they don't seem to be able to map a form field to a database table field.
I need a way for a user to be able to input data into a form to populate the database tables.
Hi again Jason
Well, perhaps Gravity Forms in combination with our add-on Graviry Forms Integration for wpDataTables would be the best option, since you can edit tables with that, while editing tables created from Formidable Forms is not possible.
Displaying a single record can be done by simply limiting the amount of rows displayed on the front end, or if you stick with SQL query - by adding a WHERE condition, so you pull only one row using the query.
You wouldn't be able to change the behavior of the edit modal. If you use Gravity, when you edit or add a new row, the Form's edit modal will come up.
Kind Regards,
