Hey there, Awesome Customers!
Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.
During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.
We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!
In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.
Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!
Catch you on the flip side!
Warm regards,
TMS
Hi Support team,
I'm having a problem with showing the "Info block" in PDFs. The "Info block" is used to show the number of rows in a data set. When I filter the data, the "Info block" still works correctly. However, I need the number of rows to also be displayed in the PDF.
Can you please help me with this?
Thanks, Daniel Ochoa
Hi Daniel,
Regarding the export question :
The table tools functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library and they are not customizable. Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed.
There are some limitations in this library we will emphasize for your awareness:
-
If you wish to try better PDF export options right now, our advice would be to acquire something similar to the WP Advanced PDF plugin, which offers a lot more options when creating PDF files from our tables, along with other content on your website.
-
If you wish to make a development suggestion to add what you need in the future as built-in option,
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.
-
I also tried to think of any possible workarounds how you might pull that number in a different way;
For example if you add a Formula Column and have it just set to "1" - then it can serve as a "Count of rows";
Then you can add a SUM calculation to this Field to serve as the total number of rows, which also follows Table filtering;
but unfortunately, we can not currently export any Calculation function of the Table either, in our Export Tools or with our Add-on Report Builder as well, so we don't have a valid solution at the moment or a workaround.
But our devs will do their best to add some solution as soon as possible.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
