    Hello,
    Thanks for this great plugin.

    I have some question.

    (1)I would like to add a “clear” and a “reset” buttons around a search form.

    The clear button is to delete words inputted on a search form.
    Its place is the right of a search form.
    →in html, like … <input type=”text” value=””>

    The reset button is to reset the table to default condition after search.
    Its place is the under middle of a search form.
    →in javascript, like … reset

    I know I can do them by only deleting words of a search box, but I think it would be convenient if there were buttons like above mentioned.

    (2)There is a “Show entries” function of “Show {10,25,50,100} entries”.
    I would like to add “Show all entries” as individual button under the words of “Records 1-XX of XX”.

    (3)I’m putting a link on each rows against 1 colum. When click a link and a new window open, I would like to open it in a specified size or other settings.
    Also, I would like to apply the settings to all of the links of each rows of the 1 colum.
    →in javascript, like … window.open(theURL, ”, ‘width=600, top=10, left=200, location=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes’);

    Please let me know how can I make above functions.

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    thanks for your questions!

    Unfortunately, I can’t answer with working solutions or steps to implement this, here ?? The reason for this is that questions (1) and (2) heavily rely on functionality of the external DataTables JavaScript library from https://www.datatables.net that TablePress uses for the sorting/search/pagination features.
    You will therefore need to investigate what the best approach to use API methods of that library is. The best choice might be custom JavaScript (e.g. based on jQuery) to add add those extra buttons and to handle clicks on them, that then invoke the API methods or change parameters in DataTables.
    As I’m not the developer of DataTables and as I don’t know its code too well, I won’t be able to help with this though, sorry.

    About question (3): Well, basically you alreade post the answer here. You would simply have to put that JavaScript code into the page, and then maybe listen for click events on links with jQuery, and then invoke this code with the URL from the link.
    Again, this will require custom JavaScript code though.

    Regards,
    Tobias
