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!

    Hello, 

    I have on my website more than 150 pages with some attributes that i would like to display. 

    I use WPDatatable to query my PhPMyAdmin SQL databse and i created some attribute at the POST level. 

    Here is a simple query i have for a dedicated page:

    SELECT `Game`,`Weapon_Category`, `Tier`, `Playstyle` FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_title`='PPSH-41';


    This gives me a nice table that i can show on front end for this page. 

    I would like to know if there is a way to automate the query where POST_TITLE = the current page where the table is displayed?

    This would save me a lot of time as otherwise i will need to create 1 table for each page with specific query. 

    Let me know if you have a solution. 

    Sincerely, 

    Alex

    Hello Alex.

    We don't have this built-in yet, but you can 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 field
            $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, 

    Aleksandar Vuković
