“Call to Action” feature

I’ve started playing around with plug-ins and stumbled across “Email Download Link” which will send the desired file to an inputted email address: https://www.willburt.com/sample/

NEVERMIND, I have deleted this plug-in. Thanks

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

Sorry, something like this is not directly possible with the native TablePress features. It will only give you the HTML structure for the table.
Unfortunately, I can’t think of ideas to achieve what you want at the moment ??

Thanks for the quick response Tobias. I’m stumped myself. One more question, do you think a “hover” capability can be incorporated into tablepress? Is it possible to make a text box appear when a user hovers their mouse over a particular cell? We’d like to add more information about a particular product when navigated in tablepress.

Thanks Tobias!!

Hi,

there’s no native functionality for that in TablePress (as this would not be something that is used inside tables), so that I can only suggest that you use a separate plugin for this, e.g. some Tooltip plugin.

Wow, thanks! tooltips pro looks like it will work perfectly. I’m trying “boxzilla” at the moment for the “hover” effect which seems to work for our purposes.

Also, is it possible to eliminate the shortcode from the tablepress header? .

Thanks Tobias!

Hi,

good to hear that you found a solution.
I’m not sure what you mean with “eliminate the Shortcode from the TablePress header” though. Is this a dropdown from the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension? Then I don’t know a way to automatically remove the HTML code from that, sorry ??

Correct, we are using the ColumnFilterWidgets extension.

This question may be asking too much. But, do you think the Tooltips Pro plug-in will work with the ColumnFilterWidget extension in tablepress? I’d hate to purchase for no reason. Thanks Tobias!

Hi,

I can’t really answer that, as I don’t know that plugin. It will probably not be suitable for inclusion/usage in the header rows.

However, there is a neat trick here: The columns that are visible can be different to those shown/used in the ColumnFilterWidgets. You could basically copy the columns that use the Tooltips to get a second version of them, but without tooltips. Then, we could hide these copied columns from the visitor, but instruct the ColumnFilterWidgets to use those, and not the columns that have tooltips (using the Shortcode parameter mentioned on https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/ ).

Thanks Tobias,

Is there a way to display certain rows instead of columns?

Is there a way to just display “Part Number”, “Model”, “Class”, “Collar Type”, etc? Right now, I can’t figure out how to remove the shortcode from the dropdown boxes. Thanks Tobias

Hi,

what you have in the dropdowns is not a Shortcode, it’s HTML code.
You can only remove that by not including it in the header cell of that column.

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks Tobias, I finally understand.

When using HTML code in the header, the columnfilterwidgets extension will display the entire string of text. However, if you use a shortcode, it will not? Is that correct?

Currently, I have an image in the header row so the user can hover over the field for more information. Here is a link: https://www.willburt.com/mast-finder

So by using Tooltips plug-in, I paste the shortcode into the header and it won’t affect the columnfilterwidgets plugin.

I hope that’s correct. Thanks Tobias, you are a lifesaver with this project!

Hi,

if you use a Shortcode in the table header, the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension will show whatever that Shortcode prints in the dropdown.

That’s why I suggested that approach with the second copy of that column (but without any HTML or Shortcodes in the header cell). Then, we could configure it so that the user sees the column with Shortcode/Tooltip in it, but the ColumnFilterWidgets Extension only creates a dropdown for the column without the Shortcode/Tooltip (with all other data in that column being the same).

Now, at the moment, your tooltips just repeat what the image says, so where’s the benefit? Or do you plan to use other/longer text in the tooltip?

Regards,
Tobias

Yep, my boss is going to fill in the text later. I’m just working on setting up the framework at the moment.

I wasn’t understand you earlier. Duplicate each column that I’d like incorporate the hover effect and then hide the column with the short code.

Great idea Tobias. I’m going to see how it works now. Thanks!

Genius, your column idea is perfect Tobias! I just have to figure out how to code the columnfilterwidgets to match the new column numbers. Thanks for your help!

I can’t get it to work. Thanks for all of your help Tobias.
