    Hello,

    as developer, I am looking for a way to export my MySql custom tables to XSLX, XML, PDF formats. Is it possible with your plugin? A bonus would be possibillity to show table data , filter and sort which your plugin obviously has.
    I am looking for a minimal UI possibilities and maximal API use (I would through the call of PHP functions and classes prepare tables, choose which columns to allow for sorting and filtering and editing), any extra UI would be surplus. Is your plugin appropriate for that?

    Hi Lovro

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Our tables do have an export feature so you would be able to export your tables in the available formats

    You need to prepare your tables first, meaning you need to pull the information to create the table manually and then use the export feature, or even filtering options if you need to filter the data that will exported. 

    You can read more detailed information about this feature in our documentation on this link

    Do let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Hello Blaženka,

    thank you for this information. However, as a developer I would like to spare user of any unnecessary configurations. Does your plugin have PHP API, so I can show tables and configure them programmatically?

  • Lovro replied

    Also, my tables are custom generated tables (I generate them via my custom REST API extension and custom developed gutenberg blocks) - is it possible for your plugin to display such tables which were not generated by it?

    Hi Lovro,

    Sorry for the late response, we have some agents that have contracted Covid-19, so our team is cut in half.

    No, at the moment we do not have API. It is in our TO DO LIST and it will be available in the future.

    It is possible to get data from anywhere with custom code over PHP serialized array but it will be necessary to provide that script throw our table wizard and create table from it as it is explained in our docs.

    Yes we have Lite version of wpdatatables which you can try  this for free.

    wpDataTables Lite is a basic version of a popular best-selling WordPress table plugin. While some premium features are reduced, wpDataTables Lite is still quite a handy tool that allows you to quickly create tables in WordPress from different sources. You can download it from this link.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
