Hi, John 

Thanks for reaching out to us

1.

Unfortunately it is not possible to change the opening of the Master Details template page in the same window,

but this is a good idea for future improvements, we might add an option to choose opening in same or new tab.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

2.

Could you share what custom CSS are you adding, and how are you implementing the CSS on site,

perhaps in the Table's Customize settings/Custom CSS,

or in main plugin settings/Custom JS and CSS/Custom CSS  or on the WP page?

We can try to add same CSS to try to replicate the issues on our end.

-

If i understand,  when you change the WP Theme, then the styles work as expected on your site?

-

And if we might take a look at the back and front-end of this table?

Please provide me a temporary WP-admin (administrator) user for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. 

We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course, we do not provide login data to third parties. 

You can write credentials here just check PRIVATE Reply so nobody can see them except us.

I am sorry but not sure if i correctly understood this one.

1. If you need to prefilter  tables via URL, please check out this documentation.

2. If you need to concatenate data to form a URL in cells in certain way, please check out our SQL CONCAT functionality,  we have a Video with an example here.

Let me know if that helps,

or if i misunderstood any of the points, please correct me. Thanks

Hi John 

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. Thank you for the suggestion.

In the meantime, there was another user who requested this,

 so we will follow it, and i hope that our developers should be able to devise a solution soon for a built-in option of setting if the master-detail content should open in a new tab or in the same window.

2.

I completely understand.  If you get around to it, you can always open a new ticket for this subject and we will do our best to help

I think i can see what you mean now,

and i am trying to get a solution with some test tables, but can't seem to get it right.

I am thinking maybe it could be done with some dynamic placeholders through SQL Query,  or setting up a CONCAT link in the cells that might do the dynamic prefiltering,

to filter the resulting table after redirection,  depending on the clicked cell value, etc... but can't get a working example yet.

-

I will have to check with our 2nd level Team if we have a working solution for something like this.

Thank you for providing the example use-cases and thanks for your patience.

As soon as they confirm i am reporting back right away.

Hi, John

No problem, i am happy to help.

Absolutely, i hope that the #1 will be added soon, we will keep a lookout for it , and it will certainly be noted in the changeLog when it's finished.

3. Still waiting to confirm if we have any workarounds for this,

but i keep checking, and we will keep you posted.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi, John

Firstly my sincerest apologies for all the waiting time.

We have been advised by our 2nd level Team on a possible workaround to achieve what you need.

-

There is a way to use the SQL CONCAT function with our plugin's tables.

You would have to first create a "main" Manual table with our plugin, this will create a new table in your database and you would place this table on a page.

Then, on a second page , place this "assessment" table ,  where you will have previously checked which ID you need for a filter through URL.

CONCAT in this case would be :

CONCAT('<a href="http://localhost/current/index.php/assessment-page/?wdt_column_filter[2]=',`wp_wpdatatable_5`.`firstname`,'" target="_blank">',`wp_wpdatatable_5`.`firstname`,"</a>") AS Student Name,

Please check out more details with an example explained on this Video https://we.tl/t-nfose8V9vq

Let us know if that makes sense. Thank you
