The data pulled from the database creates a table using a query similar to this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE value_x = %VAR1%
After that, you can use a hook for dynamic placeholders (place it in functions.php of your theme, or your child theme):
function updateVAR1($tableID){ global $wdtVar1; //check is set GET parametar value_x if(isset($_GET['value_x'])){ //get value from form field $wdtVar1 = $_GET['value_x']; } }
add_action('wpdatatables_before_get_table_metadata', 'updateVAR1');
Is it possible to pass a placeholder through a URL parameter?
I cannot find it in the documentation.
