Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    I am looking to see if this product will meet my needs. I have spent a great deal of time in the sandbox and I think it generally works perfect for what I am after...however there are a few issues I still need to sort out. I should note, that I don't know PHP or CSS. 

    I will have a large table (10,000+ rows) with aproximately 13-15 columns of data. 2 of those columns are images. I will upload this data into an SQL database and use server side processing. Right now the data will be in one table, however I have considered if it needs to be moved to a relational database instead. 

    I would like the table to show aprox 5-7 columns per result which includes the 2 images. When I build a table, it looks terrible. (some of the data in the column is long latin words like: Discoglossus pictus)

    I looked at master tables plugin as a solution, but the client really wants the images to be available on load. 

    Imagine a site like the one attached with each bullet point is a data source (in my case a column) and there are 2 images - much smaller that can be expanded. (Note - I am using an ecommerce site to demonstrate what I am after, however the info I need to present is NOT product info.)

    I considered using CSS coding to adjust a column, row, but it didn't work in the sandbox when I tried. 

    <td rowspan="4">
        <div class = "bulleted Text">
        <ul>
        <li>Splashback Poison Frog</li>
        <li>Adelphobates galactonotus</li>
        <li>(Linneas 1875)</li>
        </ul></td>

    You guys are smart. I figure there has to be a solution but I just can't figure it out! Thanks in advance.

    Hello Heather

    Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.

    You should be able to do that with string-type columns and HTML editor.

    However, bulleted list would look like new rows, without seeing the bullets on front end.

    Adding images is not an issue. You would be able to do it, again, with string columns by adding images with img HTML tags:

    <img src="url-to-the-image">

    So, you would be able to add a couple of images in line, like that without issues.

    To make the bullet points hyperlinks, you would use <a href:

    <a href="url">Text</a>

    Choosing how many columns will be included in a table can be done through the query itself, by choosing only specific columns, or you could simply go to column settings and hide some of them.

    Kind Regards,
