    Hello, I’m looking for a way to retrieve all tables ID and names.
    I need this to construct a metabox on a Custom Post Type edit page.

    With Wp Table Press I did :

    global $WP_Table_Reloaded_Admin;
foreach ( $WP_Table_Reloaded_Admin->tables as $id => $tableoptionname ):
		$table = $WP_Table_Reloaded_Admin->load_table( $id );
		$name = $WP_Table_Reloaded_Admin->helper->safe_output( $table['name'] );
		unset( $table );
		if(in_array($id,$_liaison_tableau)): $selected = ' checked'; else: $selected = ''; endif;
		echo '<label><input type="checkbox" class="liaison_tableaux" value="'.$id.'"'.$selected.' />'.$name.'</label><br />';
	endforeach;

    How can I do now ?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    This should be possible with something like this:

    $tablepress_tables = TablePress::$controller->model_table->load_all();
foreach( $tablepress_tables as $table ) {
    // $table is now the table array, with ID, name, and description
}

    Would you mind explaining what you are using this for? I’m always interested to see what people are doing with TablePress outside of its normal features. Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    I can explain how we use your plugin.
    In fact we do not use shortcodes directly in the content to call the tables, we prefer to use metabox to attach one or more tables to a post (because our users break shortcodes…).

    So we use a metabox listing all tables and allows users to select those to link to post.

    Then in the template functions are used to display tables.

    Thanks for the plugin (and the solution for our metaboxes) ??

    Hi,

    ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation! That certainly sounds like a good solution for your use case then!
    Great to hear that my code example is helpful!

    Best wishes,

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
