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!
I have a JSON data API I'm pulling into WPDT and rendering in a chart. I know I can filter the table so it omits rows based on certain matches (in my case, any row with a 0 value). But that filter in the table settings seems to have no effect on the chart, which still displays the 0 values.
So how can I apply these same filters to my chart for data that shifts rows every day?
Hello Daniel
For charts to follow table filtering, you first need to enable that option in the chart wizard, and then you need to place both the chart and the table on the same page.
Only then will you be able to filter the chart.
Now, there is a way to simply hide the table using CSS, leaving only the chart and the filters. Anyone who knows CSS will be able to still display the table if they were to inspect the page, and simply change the properties.
Since you need to show the filters, a simple CSS like this would not be useful, because it'd hide the filters too:
So, instead you would first need to disable the following in table settings:
"Show X entries" drop-down; "Info Block" from Display tab:
"Enable main search block" from Sorting and Filtering tab:
And "Table Tools" from Table Tools tab:
Then, you can hide the table, leaving the filters above the chart like this:
And that's it. This is how you'd create a page where you'd have Chart #1 dependent on wpDataTable #1 so it follows filtering, and the table hidden using CSS.
The screenshots are from an older version of wpDataTables, but they are still valid.
