I have a variable passed from page 1 to 2, is there a way to get it to page 3?  I tried not specifying it in hopes it would remain as it was, but evidently it is getting cleared between pages.

I have the following working fine using code for page 2 and page 3 (see below).  What I would like to do is to eliminate all the code and use only wpdatatables options, see info after all code.......

page 1 has 5 buttons, stage 1-5

user selects a stage, say stage 1,  that uses the following link to move to page 2 that displays all rows with stage = 1 and input = y

        http://douglasm83.sg-host.com/menengroup/test-variables/?url_stage=1

page 2 is displayed using the code for page 2 below:

      session_start(); 

      $url_stage = absint( $_GET['url_stage'] );

      $input_1 = 'y';

      $run_1 = "[wpdatatable id=2 var1='$url_stage' var2='$input_1']";

      if ($url_stage == "1") : echo  do_shortcode($run_1);

page 3 is displayed after the user edits 1 column in all rows displayed on page 2, see code for page 3 below:

     session_start();

     $url_stage = $_SESSION['url_stage'];

      $input_1 = '%'; 

      $run_1 = "[wpdatatable id=2 var1='$url_stage' var2='$input_1']";

     if ($url_stage == "1") : echo do_shortcode($run_1);

Summary:  on page 1 user selects a stage, page 2 displays rows with stage = user selected from page 1 and input = y,

 user edits values on page 2 and clicks link to page 3, page 3 displays rows with stage still = user selected from                      page 1, but this time input = '%" (all input rows, could be input = y or n instead of all rows);  before displaying                          page 3, some code to be written in C(+/++) is called and calculations performed for rows where input = n not y,                      as these are the rows the user has already edited

code for page 2

$_SESSION['url_stage'] = $url_stage;

What I am trying to do to eliminate all code..............................................

page 1 has 5 buttons, stage 1-5

user selects a stage, say stage 1,  that uses the following link to move to page 2 that displays all rows with stage = 1 and input = y

        http://douglasm83.sg-host.com/menengroup/test-variables/?wdt_column_filter[stage]=1&wdt_column_filter[input]=y

page 2 displays the info with 1 column set to editable, column "value", no code needed, tried the following hoping that stage would not be reset and would use stage passed to page 2,  NOTE, I can't use the url as above since the stage might be 1-5.  I need a way to pass stage from page 2 to page 3

        http://douglasm83.sg-host.com/menengroup/test-all/?wdt_column_filter[input]=%

QUESTION:

How to get page 3 display using no code and the stage passed from page 1 with input = y or n (or use '%')??????????

I would like to be able to say input = n or y instead of '%^' in case a row slips through editing and makes it to the database with some other value.

I hope this explains it better and you understand what I am trying to accomplish, use NO CODE just options inside wpdatatables.

Sorry, I thought I would add my other ticket info here since it applies to the same application.

When page 2 is displayed, the user will edit 1 column on several rows.

When page 3 is displayed, I would like the column that was edited on page 2 to be set to non-editable.

page 1

page 2

Calculate followed by table showing all rows where stage = used selected 1-5 and input = y with 1 column editable

page 3

RETURN to "STAGE" followed by table showing all rows where stage still = user selected 1-5 and input = y or n and column no longer editable

Since there is not a solution, you may close this ticket.
