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

wpDataTables as a Stocks Watchlist?
Closed

Comments

  • Gary Mattox started the conversation

    I love wpDataTables and it is working great for us but I have a general usage question regarding wpDataTables as a watchlist for stocks.

    Is it possible for wpDataTables to be configured so each user can enter the unique list of stocks they are following and then retrieve that list (table) in future sessions based on their login?  Our code would take care of updating each individual table row with the appropriate stock quote but we would like wpDataTables to handle each user entering their unique list of stocks and storing them for later retrieval.

    Is that possible?

    Thx,

    Gary

    Hello Gary

    For users to enter their data, and have that data linked to their User ID, you would need to enable "users see and edit only own data", so their ID is automatically added to an integer column.

    Then, you would be able to retrieve that table on the page, showing only the data they've added, without being able to see other people's data.

    If you want to allow them to see all data, you would be able to do it in a separate table, using an SQL query. The "MySQL table name for Editing" would be copied from the first table (manual table) - from the Editing tab above the table, and a new SQL table would be created, like:

    SELECT * FROM wp_wpdatatable_15

    That table would display all data.

    Kind Regards,
