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
I can't seem to find a "Character limit" option when setting the edit options for a column in WPDT...This would prevent the user right from the start from entering the wrong length string instead of throwing an error which not all users might be able to understand, nor would they know the max length of characters the field expects.
Hi there.
The type and the character limit of database tables is only available when the table is being created:
After that, the column is already written in the database, so a WordPress plugin (wpDataTables) can't make any further changes to existing database columns. You can add a new column, and define the limit in there:
The only way of modifying existing columns would be to access the database, locate the table, and edit the structure Tab, so the column you want to change the character limit for is edited through there:
I hope that helps.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
