We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
The project I am working on is covered by an NDA, so I cannot provide access or otherwise show much...
I have successfully pointed my table to a JSON file. This allowed me to set up and style the table (it looks terrific!). Now I want to pass the JSON dynamically in some fashion (variable? hook to an action?).
The steps are roughly this:
1) User navigates to a page to upload a file (via WPForms).
2) File is saved on the site.
3) Hooked WPForms action redirects to a page at which the table will be viewed.
4) Hooked action from WPForms accesses the file, converts to Base64, then posts to an external serverless function endpoint (AWS Lambda).
5) Function processes file, returning (in the response body) JSON formatted in accordance with the sample JSON I used to create the table.
6) JSON is (somehow) passed to wpDatatables which populates the table with that data.
It would seem there are two options here: a) Call the shortcode with the JSON string in %VAR1%; or a) hook into a wpDatatables action and replace the JSON data from the template file with the JSON data returned by the AWS Lambda function...
Which way is best. Can you provide some code example?
Hi, John Horst
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.

When working with JSON format please note: Currently, wpDataTables accepts this, and only this, format of JSON (see example): a one-level array of same-structured objects where each object will be parsed as a row, and each field inside of the object as a cell. If your software does not return this format, you would need to prepare, as an example some PHP adapter to return one of the formats that wpDataTables would accept.

To be completely honest, the scenario you described here goes beyond my level of expertise, i can see that this requires a developer's level of knowledge,
so i have to escalate this to my senior colleagues at the 2nd level Team.
As soon as they respond i will come back to you regarding this question.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović

Hi, John
Sorry that it took so long, i got confirmation about this from our developers.
We suggest to create a PHP Adapter, and instead of JSON to use a PHP Array.

There is a hook available in the Premium version, but not in Lite:
In hook, you will do something like this
In the PHP file, you will use the $_GET method to take the values from the URL which is filtered with the hook
I try to be detailed as I can so you can do this easily.
Let me know is it working as you need
Kind Regards,
