Hey Dalton

Thanks for your inquiry.

I'm not sure if something like this can be achieved, so I forwarded the question to our developers. As soon as I receive a response, I will let you know.

Hello again Dalton

If you just need to use the dynamic placeholder, you can try the following, but you will need some experience with writing SQL queries and using WP hooks.

You can create table with query for example

SELECT 
user_id, 
user_name, 
user_address,
CONCAT('<a href="http:/yoursite.com/your_custom_page?user_id=',user_id,'">Details</a>') AS Details
FROM your_table_name

and then on your_custom_page you will insert shortcode of the tableid that you need with placeholder like this

[wpdatatable id=1 var1=1]

of course, you will create that second table from query like

SELECT * FROM second_table WHERE user_id = %VAR1%

and then you will use our hook for dynamic upsetting placeholders

function updateVAR1($tableID){  global $wdtVar1;
      //check is set GET parametar user_id
    if(isset($_GET['user_id'])){
        //get value from form fieald
        $wdtVar1 = $_GET['user_id'];
    }  }
add_action('wpdatatables_before_get_table_metadata', 'updateVAR1');

Like this I believe you will get result like you need.

This would avoid using them in the shortcode.

That's a general example, Dalton.

Like I said in one of my previous responses, you will need some experience with writing SQL queries and using WP hooks.

We do not provide support for writing custom code or SQL queries, so if you need help with this, please check out these services for customization:
