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!
Is there a way to freeze the header row of a table on the parent page so that when the page scrolls vertically, the header stays in place but the rows scroll. Like how Excel functions when you freezing the top row containing the row headers.
Thanks
Hello mammer57
Thank you for your purchase.
This is not possible with the plugin's built-in features, but one of our customers made it possible. We did not get to test it, so you can try if it's working for you.
He actually created a fixed header and column using translation of x and y (no absolute or fixed position used), and here's one solution, take a look:
First, you gotta set the z-index for each component below:
Then you gotta add listener on scroll like this:
If your table is set to be scrollable, then you might want to add this in as well:
And here's the scrollBlock() part, it is ugly though, but it works for me though. (noted: the numbers work for my theme, if it is not working correctly on yours, then try to adjust the number until it fits.)
It is kind of messy, you definitely can't copy and paste and expect it to work for you. You need to spend some time to figure it out.
Hopefully this will help you out as well.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
