    [Topic: Datas from a form used as filters words in the tablepress shortcode]

    Hi everyone ??
    Thank you for your awesome plugin Tobias ??

    I don’t know if you could help me with my problem, if it does not have anything to do with your plugin at all I am sorry, but maybe you have the answer…

    I am using a “Form plugin” (won’t say the name as I don’t know if I can do that) and I am able to keep the datas to another page after submission.

    this code alone is working just fine to show the form plugin data alone:

    <?php echo myformplugin_get_item_value(‘name’);?>
    shows
    “Blabla”

    but when I try to put this as a filter word in your shortcode, it is not working (just showing a blank), for example with this code:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(“[table id=5 filter=’. <?php echo myformplugin_get_item_value(‘name’);?>.&&.<?php echo myformplugin_get_item_value(’email’);?>’ datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,2,7,8/]”); ?>

    this code is showing a blank instead of filter words… ??
    So I am just seeing the table without any filters applicated (the shortcode of tablepress alone works fine)

    How should I write this code? Can you help me?
    If this has nothing to do with your plugin I am sorry I won’t bother you again with that ^^
    Thanks ??

    Hi again, Ok I just changed the code to that:

    <?php
    $name = myformplugin_get_item_value(‘name’);
    $email = myformplugin_get_item_value(’email’);
    echo do_shortcode(“[table id=5 filter=’ $name &&$email’ datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,2,7,8/]”);
    ?>

    form values are correctly entered, but my table is not showing ??

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Instead of using the Shortcode here, it should be easier (as it has a better syntax) to use the Template Tag:

    $name = myformplugin_get_item_value( 'name' );
$email = myformplugin_get_item_value( 'email' );
tablepress_print_table(
  array(
    'id' => 5,
    'shortcode_debug' => true,
    'filter' => "{$name}&&{$email}",
    'datatables_columnfilterwidgets' => true,
    'datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns' => '1,2,7,8'
  )
);

    Can you please try that?
    (Note the shortcode_debug parameter in the code. With that, you should see all parameters that are relevant to rendering the table below the table, for debug purposes. Once everything is working, I recommend to comment that out by prepending // to that line.)

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias, thank you for your answer! ??

    I tried with your code too, but whatever I try, the table won’t show up ??

    The only code which is working and show the table on my page is:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[table id=5]’); ?>

    As long as I touch it, it does not work anymore…
    (I tried your code without any $var in it and it is not working either)

    I even tried this:

    <?php $Short = “[table id=5]”;?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘$Short’); ?>

    But as I don’t know anything about php (but thanks google for all…) I don’t even know if this simple piece of code is correct, all I know is that <?php echo do_shortcode(”); ?> does not seem to work with var in it ??

    I am completely lost…
    thank you for your kind help ??

    Hi,

    yes, your second piece of code contains small errors, but that should not really matter, as my code should at least show a table.
    Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias
