I am looking for a awy to display information on products.
But in order to lower the amount of repeated information between productos I need a table that can be completed from information on an other table... Just like a database, but on the front end. XD
I've found what I need on Webflow, but I dont want an other CMS. I will attach a screenshot of what I am looking for exactly. If your software can do what I need I will be Really happy :D
I dont have coding experience and I am using Wordpress A LOT, and there is a common thing to need several charts of ways of display information constructed from several lists of information.
We are sorry, but we are not fully understanding exactly how you got that message on the screen.
Could you maybe record a video of this happening, and we will assist you?
In order to use a foreign key feature, you need to have two wpDataTables.
You said you created a table from scratch, perhaps a Simple or a Manual table?
But then you tried to connect it to Excel source? If you can explain this in more details, please.
When using Excel files, there are two ways to create wpDataTables:
1. Create a table linked to an existing Excel file, in which case you get to select the file (upload it) that'll be used to pull the data. This file will be stored in ../wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/ folder. The file on that location can be changed, but the structure can't. So, if you have the file with the same title, the same number of columns, same headers, and the same order of columns - you'd be able to replace the original file with the new file, and wpDataTables would pick that up.
2. Create a table by importing the Excel file. In this case, the source file is read, and a manual table is created. So, the generated table reads the source only once, and after that, there are no relations between it and the wpDataTable. You would be able to edit the table, but the changes wouldn't be seen in the source file. In this case, you'd be able to save new rows in a separate Excel file (without column headers) and export it as CSV. Then, access the table and in the Editing tab above the table see what the "MySQL table name for editing" is. Access your database and access that table. In the "Import" tab select the new CSV file and import it. That will update the table. Another option would be to switch to Excel-like view, select a range of new cells from your Excel file and paste them below the last row in wpDataTables.

I am checking the option. I think I saw wht I need but when I try to apply it I recevie a message stating that I need to add an addon.
I've created a table from scrtch and tried to use information on a table from a excel data source.
When I want to use Foreign Key option I get the message
"You are trying to load a table of an unknown type. Probably you did not activate the addon which is required to use this table type."
How can i Solve this?
