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 would like to know if it's possible to link these variables (VAR1, VAR2) with an Elementor widget like "Title" or other

    .. the idea is to present data table related with the post_id or post title.. 

    example provided in your documentation

    SELECT * FROM my_table
    WHERE my_field > %VAR1%
    AND my_field < %VAR2%
    AND user_id = %CURRENT_USER_ID%

    Hello Nuno

    Thank you for your interest in the plugin.

    We don't have this built-in yet, but you can try with a workaround. Please note that this does require some experience with writing SQL queries and using WP hooks.

    You can create a table with a query like this:

    SELECT 
    user_id, 
    user_name, 
    user_address,
    CONCAT('<a href="http:/yoursite.com/your_custom_page?user_id=',user_id,'">Details</a>') AS Details
    FROM your_table_name

    Then, on your_custom_page you will insert a shortcode of the table ID that you need, with a placeholder like this:

    [wpdatatable id=1 var1=1]

    The second table would be created from a query like this:

    SELECT * FROM second_table WHERE user_id = %VAR1%

    After that, you can use a hook for dynamic placeholders:

    function updateVAR1($tableID){  global $wdtVar1;      //check is set GET parametar user_id
        if(isset($_GET['user_id'])){
            //get value from form fieald
            $wdtVar1 = $_GET['user_id'];
        }  }
    add_action('wpdatatables_before_get_table_metadata', 'updateVAR1');

    I hope this helps you achieve the results that you need.

    Kind Regards,
