Extended the plugin to save data via AJAX

    Currently, my client is using JotForm with Paypal for their new users to sign up. When the user signs up and pays, my client manually must add an entry in their TablePress-built table. Now, they are looking for a way to streamline these two operations, so that when a payment is completed, an entry is added into their table automatically (without having to manually do it themselves).

    As a developer, I know that I would have to write my own extension to do this. As I look through your extensive (and thankfully commented) code, I am wondering if there is a quick approach to the following steps after sending an AJAX request with new entry:
    1. retrieving a particular table based off the request
    2. adding a new entry into the table
    3. and finally saving the table ?

    *Aside: is it possible to bypass nonce and permissions to do this operation?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Your best choice to implement something like this probably is to follow the process that TablePress does to save a table, in the ajax_action_save_table() method of the controller-admin_ajax.php file.
    Note that this is not technically a “public API”, i.e. things might change in the future.

    Regards,
    Tobias
