Hello Randy.

Thank you for letting us know the issue has been resolved.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns!

Hello David.

Thank you for letting me know that you're facing a similar issue. I forwarded it to our developers so they can include a fix in the next update.

As for the documentation about new Master-Detail options - it's a bit delayed, and I apologize for that.

Until then, I'll do my best to explain it to you through this ticket:

In short - POST works the same as before, while GET has 3 options:

1. Send Parent Table Row Data.

2. Send ChiId Table Row Data.

3. Send ChiId Table Data.

#1 (Send Parent Table Row Data) - It's the same as POST and the same as it used to be. The only difference is that the URL will populate with the data of the table (ID, columns, and which value was selected). The example of this URL would be:

https://sandbox.masterdetail.wpdatatables.com/?wdt_md_p_t_id=1&wdt_md_p_t_col_name=continent&wdt_md_col_value=Africa

While the important part of the URL is this:

?wdt_md_p_t_id=1&wdt_md_p_t_col_name=continent&wdt_md_col_value=Africa

#2 (Send ChiId Table Row Data) - Here, the new field appears, where you can select two tables - the Parent and the Child tables. Also, you need to use the same (column) ID so they can be identified and linked. This way, when the ID of the Parent table is clicked (4, for example), Master-Detail will display the Child table that has that ID (4, in this case).

#3 (Send ChiId Table Data) - In this case (which is similar to #2), the new page will generate a table containing the ID that matches both the Parent and the Child.

Also, important to note:

For POST and GET #1 options - you need to use %name_of_the_column% of the Parent table;

For GET #2 option - you need to use %name_of_the_column% of the Child table because its data is shown on the page or in a post;

For GET #3 option - you need to use this placeholder: %wpdatatables_md_child_table% - that plcaholder will create the table and you only need that exact placeholder, nothing needs to be changed here.

I hope that's clear enough and that it helps you with the new options.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

Hey David,

I shared the wrong table, configured for a Popup, instead of a Page. Maybe this is a better example:

https://sandbox.masterdetail.wpdatatables.com/car-description/?wdt_md_p_t_id=6&wdt_md_p_t_col_name=Make&wdt_md_col_value=Honda

If you change "Honda" to "BMW" it works.

Let me know if that helps!

OK, David, once you publish the page, please get back to me so I can take a look. 

We couldn't replicate the issue with breaking of existing links so we'll definitely need to take a look at that.

Please open another PRIVATE ticket as this one is Randy's and it's a public ticket, so if you post your credentials here, they will be seen by everyone.

Hey David.

Sorry, not yet. It will, however, consist mostly of what I wrote on May 16th. Is there anything confusing in there I can help you with?
