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 team - I built below page using php, html and mysql
http://sfvranking.elgalactico.gg/
and I am trying to recreate it in Wordpress using your plugin since I feel it's a more professional approach, to do this I am using wpDataTables + Master-Detail but I still can't make the charts update dynamically after clicking on a row
This is the main table where I enabled Master-Detail and you click on any row
https://elgalactico.gg/sfvranking/
and this is where the charts should update dynamically with the information from the row you previously clicked on
https://elgalactico.gg/sfv-player-details/
the problem I have is the charts are not updating dynamically, they always show the same information regardless of what row I click on. Is there a way to do this with wpDataTables and Master-Detail?
(Attached are a couple of images)
Hi Gonzaga
Thank you for reaching out to us.
The charts have a Follow table filtering feature but this will only work when the table is filtered. If you are using Master detail you are not filtering the table but simply displaying the existing data so there is no actual change to the table that would trigger the chart to be updated accordingly.

Hi @Blaženka - Thanks for your prompt reply and also explaining how Master-Detail works :) I suspected that was the case. Going back to my original question, how can I accomplish the functionality I desire using your plugin?
regards,
Hi Gonzaga
You can only place the table and the chart on the same page, enable Follow table filtering and hide the table leaving only the filters visible, to allow your clients to filter through the table and see the chart update accordingly.
If you need to hide the filters, a simple css like this would be enough:
But if you need to show the filters, you would first need to disable the following in table settings:
"Show X entries" drop-down; "Info Block" from Display tab:
"Enable main search block" from Sorting and Filtering tab:
And "Table Tools" from Table Tools tab:
Then, you can hide the table, leaving the filters above the chart like this:
And that's it. This is how you'd create a page where you'd have Chart #1 dependent on wpDataTable #1 so it follows filtering, and the table hidden using CSS.
The screenshots are from an older version of wpDataTables, but they still apply.
Hello Blaženka - Great explanation with examples. I'll give it a try soon. Thank you!
regards,
You are most welcome
