Hello , Mattias

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

We don't have this built-in yet, but you can with a workaround. Please note that this does require some experience with writing SQL queries and using WP hooks.

You can create a table with a query like this:

SELECT user_id, user_name, user_address,
CONCAT('<a href="http:/yoursite.com/your_custom_page?user_id=',user_id,'">Details</a>') AS Details
FROM your_table_name

Then, on your_custom_page you will insert a shortcode of the table ID that you need, with a placeholder like this:

[wpdatatable id=1 var1=1]

The second table would be created from a query like this:

SELECT * FROM second_table WHERE user_id = %VAR1%

After that, you can use a hook for dynamic placeholders:

function updateVAR1($tableID){  global $wdtVar1;    
  //check is set GET parameter user_id  
  if(isset($_GET['user_id'])){   
     //get value from form field    
    $wdtVar1 = $_GET['user_id'];    }  }
add_action('wpdatatables_before_get_table_metadata', 'updateVAR1');

I hope this helps you achieve the results that you need.

Hi, Matties

It does look pretty neat, so if it works, you can use that as well. The code I shared is for dynamically changing the user ID per a hook for the placeholders. Your snippet seems to do the same thing, so it does look like it should work. Have you tested this?

Hi, Mattias

That is awesome! I don't believe we will be changing the name of the function, so should be good to go.

We are delighted to see that it works, of course.

- If anything else happens, please don't hesitate to create new tickets. Have a nice day!
