tablepress extension datatable tools export as pdf only

    Hi,

    searched forum and could not find answer to my simple newbie-question. Completely new to wp I made a local test-installation of wp with tablepress + extension datatable tools. Then I imported one xlsx-table. Now I added the following shortcut onto my wordpress-page:
    [table id=1 datatables_tabletools=”true”/]

    this gives me 5 icons for export (copy to clipboard, to csv , to excel csv, tp pdf, to print)
    is it possible to have only one icon: export to pdf?

    I was looking in the tablepress-documentation, but I could find any info on this topic, but as a complete rookie I may have overseen it.

    thx in advance for any help
    Kurt

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, this is possible, by modifying the PHP code of the TableTools Extension a little bit. In the file tablepress-datatables-tabletools.php, please change line 84 from

    $tabletools_options = '{ "sSwfPath": "' . $swf_path . '", "aButtons": [ { "sExtends": "copy", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "csv", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "xls", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "pdf", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "print", "sButtonText": "" } ] }';

    to

    $tabletools_options = '{ "sSwfPath": "' . $swf_path . '", "aButtons": [ { "sExtends": "pdf", "sButtonText": "" } ] }';

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi, found also another solution: install the plugin web2pdf, which works with any wp-page, which may also contain a tablepress-table
