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!

    Hello,

    Would it be possible to check userinput on a certain field, if it follows a predefined format? Something like "YYYYMMDD_NN_CC". Where nn stands for his name and CC for his city.

    Hello Tim.

    You can do it with an action

    add_filter( 'wpdatatables_before_frontend_edit_row', 'Tim_filter', 10, 3 );
    function Tim_filter( $formdata, $returnResult, $tableID) { 
        // Provide id for your table where you need validation, 
        // we insert 1 as example 
        if ($tableID == 1) { 
            // You will replace orig_header with your real name of orig_header 
            // which you can find it in column settings, and also a condition 
            // this is checker for specific column 
            if ($formdata['orig_header'] == ''){ 
                // You can provide your custom error message 
                $returnResult['error'] = __('Column name can not be empty', 'wpdatatables') ;
                echo json_encode($returnResult); 
                exit(); 
            } 
            // $formdata is array so you can also create a loop if you need 
            // to go through all form data entries and check if they pass your condition 
            //     foreach ($formdata as $signleEntry){ 
            //         if ($signleEntry == 'your condition'){ 
            //             $returnResult['error'] = __('Your custom error message', 'wpdatatables') ;
            //             echo json_encode($returnResult); 
            //             exit(); 
            //         } 
            //     } 
        }
    }

    This is only an example for validation.

    If you want only to filter, then you can use wpdatatables_filter_frontend_formdata which can be seen here.

    Kind Regards,
