    Hi Tobias,

    I wonder if it is possible ot modify the position of the tablepress_length, etc. html nodes.
    For example I would like to have the word “entries” on the right side of the dropwdown menu. Or one more example: I would like to have the whole function of showing more rows at the bottom of the table.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    Dennis

    Hi,

    thanks for your question! Yes, this is possible with a custom command for the DataTables JavaScript library that TablePress uses for the pagination feature.

    To do this, please try adding this to the “Custom Commands” textfield in the “Features of the DataTables JavaScript library” section on the “Edit” screen of the table:

    "sDom": 'frtlip'

    The default value of that command is

    "sDom": 'lfrtip'

    so that moving the “l” after the “t” will move the length change.
    For the detailed documentation on this, please see https://datatables.net/usage/options#sDom

    In order to move the “entries” word, you’ll need to change the used positioning in the strings. For that, please use the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/
    There, you’ll need to change the string

    "sLengthMenu": "Show _MENU_ entries",

    (Actually “entries” is already on the right side of the dropdown…)

    Regards,
    Tobias
