Hi, I believe your plugin may accomplish my needs and I've been pouring over your documentation and supports files, but I haven't seen it the answer yet. I have a couple of questions.
1) I would like to be able to let all users view all entries of a table, *but* not edit the table. Then, I would like logged in users to be able to see all the records of the table, but only edit their own records. I saw a feature that lets users view / edit their own data, but it seems like it would prevent them from seeing the whole table (entries created by others) is that correct?
and
2) I would also like to allowed logged in users when they edit their records to be able to upload multiple images to their record. Is that possible?
1. The "Users see and edit only own data" feature allows logged-in users to see only their own rows, and therefore edit only their rows. They wouldn't see everybody's data, you're correct. There's no useful workaround for this, I'm afraid. The only way to let the users see the entire table would be to disable that option, but in that case (if you leave the table as an editable table) they would also be able to edit every row of that table.
2. Uploading multiple images is not possible either. Image columns can only have one image in the cell, and to add multiple images in a cell, you'd need to save that column as "string", and then use <img src... HTML tags to add multiple images.
We do have this planned for the future, but I'm not sure when it will become available. It could be a month, it could be a year. It all depends on our developers.

Hi Aleksandar,
Thanks for your reply, that's too bad, while item number two I can probably work around, item #1 is a showstopper. =/
I appreciate the info.
Best,
~Nick
You're welcome, Nick
I'm sorry to hear that, but I can understand.
