    Hello,

    we need a datatable to query some JSON data. The reason why I'm contacting you is, that we're designing the page with Elementor and I would need some advise how to get data from a form-edit-field into one of the widget-placeholders (%VAR1%) of a corresponding table, please.

    Any help would be much appreciated !

    And one other thing that drives us nuts: We're having a query that takes a couple of seconds until the response from the API is complete. For the user, this process feels like a browser crash. Can we prevent the table from loading when the page loads – and just trigger the query from Elementor with a button - somehow ?


    Thanks  million (-;

    Hello Stefan

    Thank you for your purchase.

    Tables created from JSON files can't be edited, so placeholders can only be used for filtering the table. For instance, if you add %VAR1% as a predefined filtering value for column1, you can filter the table with the shortcode like [wpdatatable id=1 var1=test].

    The loading icon should be displayed there, but for some reason it's not appearing. Our developers will work on this, and hopefully in one of our future updates you'll see a loader before the table is completely loaded.

    Kind Regards,
