"nothing on the table" means no data on the table. if I use the key ("?wdt_search=filtervalue"), only the value will be displayed on the table. And if I remove the key, whole records will be displayed. right?
when I remove the key, I want to see no data on the table. that is what I want.
Yes, that is right. Unfortunately, that is not possible with the built-in feature of the plugin.
You can use a predefined filter for some columns and then hide that filter, so the table will be filtered and users can not change it. You can read more in our docs about Advanced filters.
Also, you can use Placeholders as Predefined values for dynamic filtering.
Also, you can check out our Powerful filters add-on which has an option hide table which you can combine with Cascade filtering so users will have results only after choosing the filter params. If they clear the params table will be hidden again.
I just learned about parameter URL using "?wdt_search=filtervalue"
If I remove the key (?wdt_search=filtervalue), whole data will be displayed on the table. right?
How can I make nothing on the table, even though I remove the key?
