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!
Dear support,
I need to only my user to update/add entries with a searching function. In my case I have a column named "lastname" that must only display people link to the user (I'm using a meta_data). When the user select someone, some other column in the same row must be auto filled like the "firstname". I used this searching/prefill function in forms with select2js linked to css tags.
However I have 2 issues:
- In the tab I'm able to add css classes to column's cells and use the inline editing (that display my select2js with searching information I'm especting). But it's not easy to find the column I need to auto fill in the same row and save the information.
- For new entries the css classes are not applied to inputs in the modal. My select2js field never appears. (cf.screens).
I also searched around creating a second tab with all the data that need to be auto fill but I'm not able update several information link to one select and I can't filter on data that my user must see and not see.
So I'm wondering if you have a solution to my needs...
King regards,
Fabien
Hello Fabien
One column cannot be auto-filled based on values from a different column. Something like this needs to be developed as a custom solution, and it isn't included in the provided support for the plugin.
Also, you can't add custom CSS like shown in your screenshot.
In the Custom CSS Class(es) field you only need to add the class, so "example". Then, you need to define that class in wpDataTables settings/Custom JS and CSS, so for example:
table.wpDataTable .example {color: red;
}
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
