    Hello,

    I am creating a member website with a directory for a union. I am going to import a table with more than 3000 rows. I would like to know if it is possible to limit the view of the directory according to a data. 

    For example, if I have a table that contains the following information: name, email, region. Show only people from a specific region. And this without having to create another separate table.  

    Is this possible?

    Thank you for your help,

    Romain Durand.

    Hi, Romain Durand

    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.


    1.

    In regards to importing the data via  a file,

    Data that has more than few thousand rows can  sometimes not be imported in this way directly via the plugin ( depending on the server) - this is a limitation that is coming from WordPress itself combined with server performance.

    But there is a solution.

    What you can do is, you can import the file, in form of Excel, CSV, or spreadsheet directly in your database via your database management tool, such as PhPMyAdmin.

    And then you will be able to create a simple SQL query based table from this database table, by using this query (for example):

    SELECT * FROM table_1


    2.

    In regards to filtering the data,

    we are not sure what you need exactly,

    but if you simply wish to set a filter on a "region" column, you can do so by using any of our advanced column filters.

    Please check out all the available advanced column filters here.

    -

    You can also use dynamic placeholders, if you wish to use same table shortcode,

    but for example,  on page 1 you want table to present region value 1,   

    and on page 2 you want only to filter for region value 2;

    Then you can place a predefined filter value in column "Region",  as %VAR1%,then in shortcode for page 1, it can be something like :

    [ wpdatatable id=1 var1=RegionName1 ]

    -

    You can also use VAR placeholder directly in an SQL Query for tables.

    -

    Please check more on how you can use dynamic filtering placeholders here.

    -

    Let us know how that seems, and if you have any questions.smile.png

    And, just wanted to point out that we have a Demo Sandbox site, where you can try out the plugin functionalities, on this link

    and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, So if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

    Kind Regards,

    Hello,

    Thank you for your answers. For the import I already did it with another plugin and it worked in Excel and CSV. So I'm not worried about that especially if you have an alternative solution.

    My request was not clear enough I will clarify. I want users from the same region to be able to see only the people from their region and not to have access to other people.

    I don't know if it is clearer for you. 

    I will look at the demo.

    Best Regards,

    Romain.

    Looking at your demo I think I have a solution in mind but I can't figure out how to do it. 

    I would like to be able to propose several tables depending on the region. But to simplify the management of the table I would like to have only one table but several shortcodes to be able to display my table according to the regions on different pages.

    I don't know if a shortcode like this exists : [wpdatatable id=19 region=bretagne]

  • Durand Romain replied

    Maybe I can use placeholders to solve my question: https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/using-placeholders/ Also, I use Avada, so can I use different placeholders on each different page with the same table?

    Hi, Durand

    Thank you for clarifying the goal.

    I have made an example for you, here is how it can be done.

    Just as you proposed, here is the easiest way - with a VAR placeholder as prefiltered value for the Region column.

    Then you can set different shortcodes for the same table, on different pages.

    This is, of course, a very simple table i made - i suppose it will be more complex in your project.

    For example, if we set a table like this :

    9385158392.png

    And in the Region column, prefiltered value as VAR1 placeholder

    4266306375.png

    Then, this is the shortcode for a page if we want only Region A

    But i also made a short video, as an example - please check it out here.

    Let me know if that is what you needed.smile.png

    Thank you
