1. The Columns button dropdown shows all the columns in the table, even the hidden ones. Is there any way to get the dropdown to not show hidden columns?
2. The Search block returns all rows containing the search string - even rows where the search string only exists in a hidden column. Can I get the Search function to show results only from visible columns?
1. The only way to hide the hidden columns would be with custom CSS - removing them from that list. The Column List button is there exactly for that reason - to allow hiding columns in back and frontend.
2. Unfortunately, something like this is not possible. The search option looks through the entire table, and excluding columns is not possible.
Hello,
Two questions about Hidden Columns...
1. The Columns button dropdown shows all the columns in the table, even the hidden ones. Is there any way to get the dropdown to not show hidden columns?
2. The Search block returns all rows containing the search string - even rows where the search string only exists in a hidden column. Can I get the Search function to show results only from visible columns?
Thanks.
