Only show entries from the current date

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

For this, you will need the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/downloads/extensions/tablepress-row-filter-date.zip
Also, there’s a typo in your Shortcode parameter: filter_date_colums instead of filter_date_columns.
And finally, you’ll indeed need to use the mm/dd/yyyy date format here, i.e. you’ll need multiple date columns, one for the filtering and one for displaying the column with your desired date format.

Hello,

many thanks for the answer.
I installed the TablePress Extension from your link, fixed the typo, and changed the date entries in the date column to the format dd/mm/yyyy.
Now the table contents of my test table look like this:

And as the shortcode on the page is this:

[table id=1 responsive=scroll filter_date=”today” filter_date_columns=”1″ cache_table_output=false /]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that well yet.
Now, when the table is displayed on the page, no function is displayed, neither the color in the table header, nor the standard filter and search functions.
Actually it should look like this:

Now, unfortunately, it only looks like this: (Link to the picture)

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

my guess here is that this is simply caused by the fact that there’s entry in the table for “today” (09/21/2020).

This results in an empty table, due to which the JS features are not loaded.

Hello,

Thanks for the hint. It works now.
I changed the shortcode as follows and now it shows all appointments from the current date:

[table id=1 responsive=collapse filter_date=”>today” filter_date_columns=”1″ /]

The first date column is filtered, in which the date is formatted as mm / dd / yyyy. However, this column is hidden in both displays. That works great.

But I have one more question:
Is there a way to change the size of the input fields for the search or how many lines should be displayed? These input fields are a bit big, especially for the display on mobile phones they are a bit too big.
I have marked the fields that I mean in the screenshot with a red frame.

Hi,

>today is actually not a valid value here ?? You can only choose between past, today, and future.

To influence those fields, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

.dataTables_wrapper label input,
.dataTables_wrapper label select {
    margin: 10px 4px !important;
    padding: 2px 4px !important;
    min-height: 28px !important;
}

Hi, are there shortcodes to show only the last 30 of information?

Thank you

Hi,

that’s tricky. The only idea I have here would be to use the hide_rows and show_rows Shortcode parameters. Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
