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

    Hello, 

    Thank you for an amazing plug-in.

    I'm adding custom functionality to enable users to create a 'favorites' table from a Master-Detail form and from a subset of rows on a wpdatatable.  I intend to do this by adding a checkbox on the Detail form and in front of every row which users can manually check off.  Users will then click a button to add their selected item(s) to a favorites table. I know programming assistance is beyond the scope of support but any general suggestions to implement this functionality would be greatly appreciated  

    It looks like there are couple of Datatables.net extensions which can help with this functionality ('Select' and 'Buttons').  Do you know if it is possible to use these Datatables.net extensions with wpdatatables?  

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    Thank you for your kind words.

    You could use these extension, but you would need to adapt them for the wpdatatables object.

    The front-end (JS) part of wpDataTables plays a significant role in the plugin’s functionality. Generally, front-end rendering is done by the DataTables jQuery plugin, but wpDataTables introduces some callbacks of its own.

    All wpDataTables existing on the page are reflected in the global JavaScript object called ‘wpDataTables‘. If you check this variable in the JS developer console you will see the wpDataTables as properties of this object:

    Please note that using wpDataTable callbacks requires certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.

    Kind Regards,
