Updating tables from csv
Closed

  • Will Holt started the conversation

    Hi,

    I want to create a set of about 100 pages in WordPress that contain tables and charts. The data for the charts is generated from an external python program and saves csv files.

    Suppose I use wpDataTables to embed charts generated from the csv data. Each day the csv files will get updated. Is it possible to have the charts update automatically when the csv file is updated? The number of rows in the csv file would change each day.

    Hi, Will.

    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.

    Yes. If the CSV data of each file will be stored on a location that our plugin can acces,

    basically the URL source path for the file needs to end with the .csv extention,

    and if you keep the same structure for the table,

    ( same header names, number of columns, filename)

    so if you just edit/add/ or delete rows,

    then the connected dataTable will automatically update,

    and you can make a chart from the table, the chart will also automatically update the data as well.

    Please check more details on connecting existing CSV data with our tables here.https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-csv/.

    And here you can check out our available charts: https://wpdatatables.com/faqmd/which-chart-types-are-available/

    I just want do add that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing

     on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,  

    as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

    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)

    Let me know if you have any additional questions. smile.png

    Kind Regards,
