We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
wpDataTables jQuery callback (and CSS) customizations for my portfolio
I've been hounding the folks at wpDataTables to crib me through the process of customizing HighCharts visualizations. Now that I've gotten things to a notch point, I thought I'd share much of what I learned along the way. Hopefully it will help other folks to bootstrap their own approach to customization process.
The transition that I needed to make was transliterating the examples I saw in the HighCharts API into a structure that could be parsed in the callback. There was quite a bit of experimentation to find things like assigning colors to a doughnut chart series - that required a "setOptions" declaration at the object level - not the chart level.
I tripped over a dozen or more of those kinds of "small" issues until I started to get a sense of how requests should be structured. And I'm still wrestling with a few things here and there - but the bulk of what I wanted it in place.
So special kudos go to the team at wpDataTables, not only for making a stellar product, but also for "suffering the slings and arrows" of outrageous customers (like me). :)
Hi Houston,
Thank you very much for the kind words and thank you for sharing all you have learned with other people so they can easily find how to customize HighCharts with wpDataCharts callback. We're happy that you're satisfied with the product and with our service!
