Hey there, Awesome Customers!
Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.
During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.
We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!
In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.
Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!
Catch you on the flip side!
Warm regards,
TMS
Hi
I started to use the option to insert a shortcode in the "simple" table style.
Please look at the example in https://www.machiningdoctor.com/test-table-with-tooltip/
I use it to display tooltips about the header which is very useful. The shortcode in this case is the format:
I tried to add tooltips also to other table types (SQL), but it does not matter what I put in the header it gets erased by the plugin.
Do you have a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Erez
Hello Erez
The logic behind Simple tables is different than any other table type, but I can't say why the shortcodes don't work with other types.
I suppose you have enabled "Parse shortcodes in strings" in wpDataTables settings?
The ticket has been forwarded to our developers, but could you please re-enable the wp-admin log-in credentials, so they can log in, and see what's going on?
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi
The Shortcode option is active.
To isolate the problem I created a new table on a new page.
Table-id: 108
Page: https://www.machiningdoctor.com/test-table-with-a-shortcode-in-title/
The shortcode is placed in the HTML of the page and works fine. (Hover on the word MR).
The exact same shortcode is placed in the header of the right column, but nothing is displayed.

Hello again Erez
The issue here is that you're trying to add the shortcode to the header. While it works with Simple tables (because in essence they don't have an actual header), it won't work with other table types. You can only include shortcodes in cells (string-type columns).

Thanks for the quick reply and clarification.
The only reason I need to add a shortcode to the headers is to create a tooltip that explains to the user more about the column.
Do you have another way to implement this?
Thanks
Erez
Not really, Erez
This would have to be done as a custom solution, probably with the use of custom JS and/or hooks or filters.
