Hi, we currently are using wpDataTables (and master details too), and we're looking to add 'shopping cart' functionality to WPDT, maybe using Report Builder.
We have a script that does something similar, but a problem is that it can only send entire rows and doesn't allow us to pick and choose only specific columns to sent data with.
Is it possible for us to use Report Builder with our WPDTs to:
1. Generate a report only from specific columns
2. Specify which columns via some GUI
P.S. I really have no idea where I'm supposed to ask such questions to the Report Builder team, is there somewhere else I should be asking?
We have an option during Report creation - Follow table filtering – this checkbox is visible only if you did choose a wpDataTable data source on previous step. If this is checked, the report will always contain only the rows that are currently visible in the wpDataTable when it’s placed on the same page, in the same order. So if a table is sorted, filtered, etc., the rows will be used in the report same as they appear on the page. If this checkbox is unchecked, or if the wpDataTable isn’t present on the same page with Report controls, whole table will be used in report every time. Important notice: if the table has more rows that are currently visible, the invisible ones won’t be used in the report if the follow table filtering – to use them you would need to select “All” in wpDataTables “Show … rows” dropdown on the front-end.
I hope this helps, do let us know if you need any further assistance.
Unfortunately we do not have a free trial version, but we do have 15-day money back guarantee. So if you purchase our plugin, and it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period of time.
Please have a look at our documentation for more detailed information on Report Builder.
