Hi martin,

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.

With our Plugin's wpDataCharts, for each Chart, it pulls the data from a source Table;

So you will not be able to create a Data source without first creating a Table which will pull the Data from your Data Source.

In this example you sent, this Chart is a very custom solution which pulls data directly as a Data Module by HighCharts.

If you use Charts from our Plugin - In this case, you will need to make a source Table which pulls live data from your Data Source.

On the other ticket, you mentioned you would be using a JSON data source, right?

Please refer to my response there - where we explained how you can make a table which pulls data from JSON/ or API.

Can you tell me did you succeed in creating a Table which pulls the data from your Data Source?

If you did that - and if you just need a Chart now which will 'change/update' live / on the fly, without having to refresh the Chart Page,  you can achieve this by adding the Source Table shortcode on the same Page where you have your Chart; and activate "Follow Table Filtering" in our Chart Options.

This allows you to have the 'update chart on the fly' effect, so when the table updates with any new data, the Chart is going to follow it.

We also have a couple workarounds which you can use if you need to hide the Table and just show the Chart with the 'follow table filtering' effect :

By default, the charts will not follow any filtering from their source table if you just put the chart "on its own" on the page.

But If you place the source table together with its chart on the same page,

and activate " Follow Table filtering"  on the chart Wizard settings,  it is going to follow any filtering/sorting you do on the table.

-

Now, depending if you wish to hide the table and have a filtering for Charts, we can have two workarounds available.

1. If you wish to hide the entire table along with table filters;

you can add this CSS to the table's back-end settings/Customize/Custom CSS.

.wpdt-c .wpDataTables.wpDataTablesWrapper {
display: none !important;
}

This will completely hide the table from the page, but you can still pass the table shortcode with the chart, and you will get the "follow table filtering" effect on this chart.

2. Or if you wish just to hide the table while leaving the filters with the chart,

we would first need to disable the following in the table settings:

"Show X entries" drop-down; "Info Block" from Display tab:

Then, "Enable main search block"  and "show filters in a form above the table" from the Sorting and Filtering tab:

Then, you can add this CSS in the table settings/Customize/Custom CSS:

.wpdt-c .wpDataTablesWrapper table {
display: none !important;
}

That will just leave the chart visible with the filters on the page,

if you pass both table and chart shortcodes.

-

Let me know if that helps, if not, can you please elaborate what you have tried so far, what is your Data Source for your Table, etc?

If you can add any screenshots or a Video, that can help.

If it shows any sensitive data, just mark your reply as PRIVATE, for safety.

Thank you.
