    The subject says it all.  Using an sql query as a data source, is it possible to have a wildcard as the default value in a placeholder.  Allowing for all records to be displayed unless the placeholder contains a specific value.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Hi Greg,

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

    Yes, you can create table from SQL query like

    SELECT * FROM yourTableName WHERE yourColumnName LIKE '%VAR1%'

    then on Placeholders tab for VAR1 you can insert %% like this on image

    Then you can insert on page for example

    [wpdatatable id=1]
    [wpdatatable id=1 var1="value1"]
    [wpdatatable id=1 var1="value2"]

    Of course you will repace your table id and your values for placeholders and you will get same table with all data(first one) and filtered (other two) based on value from shortcode parameter for placeholder var1. you can use it separate on other pages, where ever you need.

    Let me know is this what you looking for.

    Best regards.


    Kind Regards,
