    Hi,

    I use a serialized PHP to create a dynamic table.  Up until recently, I could add a "<input type="checkbox">" as part of the cell value.  It now strips the checkbox so I tried using the "Transform Value" feature.  This works, however it causes a huge delay whenever someone tries to use the search features in the table. Is there anything I can add through code that will allow me to use an input checkbox?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I am still waiting on this. Just trying to give it a bump:

    Hello,
    My sincerest apology, we had some big issues with this ticketing system, some tickets got marked as 'replied' when they did not get a reply and we did not see it.

    It seems it is resolved now, but if any long waiting time reoccurs, please don't hesitate to contact me on my work Email [email protected] and you can just send me the link to the ticket, so we can double-check it if needed.


    We will move to a better support system as soon as possible.
    Thank you for all your patience.


    • -When it comes to your use case :
      If I understood, you want to create a checkbox as an 'editor input type', right?

    Sorry to disappoint you, but at this time, we don't have any built-in solution to achieve the checkbox as an editor input type.

    You can suggest it to our developers, though - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.

    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.

     

    If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,

    you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.

    We also added this new developer's handbook, which can allow users with coding skills to make custom add-ons.

    Our developers will keep adding more custom hooks/examples there over time.

    -

    Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.

    You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.

    ( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)


    - And in regards to why custom HTML like that gets removed - Our developers have increased the security of our Plugin in recent versions, because WordPress has upgraded security in general, so we have to follow their standards in terms of 'sanitization' of the code, etc.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind Regards,
