    Hello Tobias,

    I have a question regarding the Tablepress collapse functionality.

    As I read on the documentation the responsive collapse functionality is triggered when data from the columns is cut-off. Would you know if there is a way to make a column collapse by default even when there is no cut-off trigger?

    I tried the solution from here, changing the code in the .php file, I did not manage to make it work.

    What I am trying to do is to use the collapse functionality in order to give desktop users the possibility to expand an entry for more details.

    Thank you for the help,
    Vlad

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Please try adding this to the “Custom Commands” text field on the table’s “Edit” screen:

    "columnDefs": [ { "className": "none", "targets": [ 2, 3 ] } ]

    This would collapse the third and fourth column on all screen sizes.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hello Tobias,

    Thank you for the solution, it works.

    Do you think it is possible to move the expand (+/-) button to the right end of the first column, as exemplified in the below link?

    https://datatables.net/extensions/responsive/examples/child-rows/custom-renderer.html
    (here it is one the left side of the column).

    If not, would it be possible to create column nr 2 next to the first one and move the + button there? Regarding this step I looked into the below post and tried implementing it to the Table, but I have trouble making it work if I want to maintain the custom command you provided above. (to make a specific column collapse on all screen sizes)

    Hi,

    unfortunately, I can’t really answer these questions. I simply don’t have that much experience with the DataTables features. Sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias
