DataTables Buttons not working on iOS

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

I can reproduce this on an iPad, but unfortunately, I don’t really have a clue what’s causing this ??

We could maybe try changing some CSS to basically show the overlay “higher”. Please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

.dt-button-background {
  z-index: 999998 !important;
}
.dt-button-collection {
  z-index: 999999 !important;
}

If that doesn’t help, I can only suggest that you ask in the DataTables forums at https://www.datatables.net/

Regards,
Tobias

Tobias,
Thank you for the (typical) prompt response and suggestion.
There’s been an answer, here :

Can you update this as recommended?
Thank you in advance

Hi,

thanks for checking back with Allan on this! Good to hear that the update should resolve this!

I’ll definitely update the Extension, but will need a bit more time, as I also want to update TablePress itself, first.
In the meantime, you could maybe try replacing the JS and CSS files in the Extension with those from the DataTables website, if you don’t want to wait.

Tobias

You’re most welcome Tobias.

I tried figuring out how to update the files, without success… as I’m just not knowledgeable that way. Can I offer you a donation to expedite the upgrade?

Hi,

this is something that we should probably discuss via email, so please get in touch (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”). Thanks!

Tobias

Hello Tobias,
An email was sent on Nov. 13 and I haven’t heard back. Did you receive it?

Hi,

yes, I have received the email, but didn’t yet have a chance to take a look, as I had some busy days in the last few days. I’ll try to reply with a suggestion as soon as possible!

Regards,
Tobias
