I recently purchased wpDataTables, I have tables where I want to be able to create a new row(via +new entry) , however, I wouldn't want the users to be able to edit those new rows once created. From what I see, the config to creating and editing columns seems to be the same thing in wpDataTables. I'm believe I'm mistaken because it seems like a fiairly basic task and this seems to be quite complex so I imagine its somewhere but for some reason I can't find anything about it in the docs.
If you wish to disable the Edit button, you can add this CSS:
.DTTT_button_edit {
display: none !important;
}
I guess you also don't want them to delete the rows:
.DTTT_button_delete {
display: none !important;
}
If, in the future, you desire to hide the "Add New" as well, this would be the CSS you can add:
.DTTT_button_new {
display: none !important;
}
If you add this CSS in wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS/Custom CSS field, the button will be hidden everywhere (in back-end and front-end, on all tables). But if you want to do it only for a certain table on front-end, you need to add the CSS on the page, in between the <style>...</style> tags.
that should do it, is there a backend implementation of this in the works? if I'm not mistaken it would be fairly easy for anyone with html knowledge to make those button re-appear

Yes that is true, we have on our TO DO list features where you will be able to choose which button you what to show on front-end. What you can do is to remove edit button from back-end. In file wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wpdatatable.php: around line 3421
you will find this
and you have to remove array with Edit like this
Please not that you will not have Edit button or front-end and on backend as well.
If you have any other issue or question please open new ticket, and we help you out.
