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 am trying to do advanced filtering in the URL. It works if I hard code the value I want to filter on but not if I want to use a value from one of the columns in the table. I'm sure I am not formatting it correctly but I have tried all options I could think of. Here is the URL I have in my quote table:
https://spanguard.net/quote-items/?wdt_column_filter[quoteid]=wdt_ID
Hi Beverly,
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.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but something like this is not currently possible.
If you use our pre-filtering via URL, you must set the column name inside the brackets, and you need to give it a fixed value from the cell in order for it to work.
So "quoteid" and then setting a "column Name" can not work, because it needs a specific value from a row and it needs the column name from which the row value is being called, in order to filter it.
Please follow the instructions how this works on this Documentation Page.
You will see our example Table and an example of how the URL should be formatted with a column name and the value from the row as a parameter.
For example, for our Table from that Documentation, if we wish to filter on Column 'City' and value as 'Linz', the URL would be :
https://www.wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/global-search-via-url/?wdt_column_filter[1]=Linz
You can either place the index number of the Column inside the squared brackets ( zero indexed), or you can insert the Header Name.

If you need to search two or more values in same column by URL filter,
this can be done if you make the filter as multiselectbox, and separate the data with a pipe like this:
?wdt_column_filter[State]=Alabama|Texas
Let me know if that helps and if you have any additional questions.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
