I purchased the plugin to make customizable calendars for my clients.
On the columns, I have :
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
On the lines, I have :
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...
In each column, I have meals that my clients can tick, to create a schedule for their week.
My question is the following :
How can I create 7 lines, for each day of the week, that my clients can than Edit to add the recipes on each meal and each day, without having to create a row for each day first ?
The rows I created in my back-end, are only visible to me, ID #1, admin of the site.
You need to make this table editable, and visible for your customers, but you would not be able to create just 7 rows, and have them be repeated for every client.
Do you have a fixed number of customers, or is this an ongoing (indefinite) list? If you have a fixed list of customers, you could create 7 rows for each of them, and add an integer (ID) column, where you would store their WordPress user IDs. Something like this:
Then, you can enable "Users see and edit only own data" option, which will allow each user to see and edit only the 7 rows associated to their WordPress ID.
Sure, you can create a table like this in Excel and then import it into wpDataTables.
It needs to be imported (not linked to the Excel file) because it needs to be editable.
So, when you import it, you will already have all ID's filled out - no need to edit it. If you do need to edit that column later on, you can temporarily disable "Users see and edit only own data"; modify or add new rows, and then enable the feature again.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
I have an undefined amount of clients, but it will never exceed 200 I think.
Can I create a table like this in Excel and import it in wpdatatables ?
Also, when I set the user column, I can't change the content of the column anymore, so how can I add the IDs like you did ?
Best regards,
Robin
