Directly embed a csv file from a URL

    Dear Tobias and others,

    What do you think of the feature to directly embed a csv file from a URL using a shortcode like [table src=domain.com/file.csv]?

    This would, for example, allow a user to work together on a csv file in Dropbox and then always have the table directly updated by reading and embedding the csv file directly from Dropbox.

    Thankfully,

    ~Robert

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    I don’t think that this would be a good idea. The problem here basically is that it would require an external HTTP request on every page load.

    You could maybe take a look at the TablePress Automatic Periodic Table Import Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-auto-import/ that could be helpful here.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Dear Tobias,

    The Auto Import plugin is just great.

    It serves this purpose really well.

    Thank you so much!
