I have been having a lot of problems to set my database.
1- Skipping lines to make the information on the database's rows easier to read.
As you can see on the file "MyWebsite- ACTUAL SITUATION", I am trying to put the name of two people in a cell but I am not able to skip lines. On my Google Sheets (as you can see on the file "MyGoogleSheet_HOW I WANT IT TO BE"), I am able to skip the line of the same cell so one name is on top, a "-" is in the middle and the name of the other person is on the bottom.
The same information on my Google Sheet is much easier to read and I just want the plugin to follow what I did there. Is this possible to do? If yes, how?
2- Slide bar is very long and customer won't be able to see the "budget" button on the last column straight away
You can see the current situation on the attached file "MyWebsite - SLIDEbar". As I cannot skip lines or reduce the size of the column's fonts, I have this slide bar that I wish it did not existed.
Is there a way of just skipping lines to create space between the information on the same cell on this plugin? And resizing the whole table in order to fit on my website perfectly and without a slide bar?
1. Are you using the Google Spreadsheet as an external source? If you are, please note that wpDataTables can't pick up anything but the data, so any custom formatting, styling, etc. won't be pulled from the external source. If you're creating a manual table in wpDataTables, you would be able to save this column as a multi-line string, and then simply use ENTER to move the text into a new line. You would, however, need to apply a custom CSS class to the column, and then set it to be center-aligned through custom CSS code.
For the plugin to be able to pull the data from Google Spreadsheet and display it in the way you want to see it, you'd need to use HTML tags <br> after each wannabe row, so something like this:
Lazzaro<br>-<br>Giudita Soster
Another way of making it look like you want it to look would be to use Simple Tables, where you can style each cell differently.
2. You can disable the "Scrollable" option in the Display tab above the table, and enable "Limit table width", which would limit the width to the container's width. Also, when you enable this, you can also enable "Wrap text", so the text is moved to new lines if it's too long for the cell.
