    Is there an (easy) way to pass data collected by a form into a tablepress table? For example, taking orders via GravityForms, or FluentForms, or Piotnet. That data exists in the DB somewhere in a structured way. Could Tablepress grab it to display? Thank you.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here. Something like this is not possible with TablePress at this time. Sorry.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    sure, no problem! Sorry that I didn’t have better news.

    Best wishes,

    It would be nice use a form to append a row to an existing table and also display a row with a form. That’s for another day. This is brutal way to display data captured by a paper form. Create a pdf of the paper form, upload it to the media library and add the html code within a cell to display it.

    Where is the table data stored in the file structure of table press? I looked through the plugin folder and did not see it there.

    Hi lpaustia1,

    thanks for your feedback! At this time, I don’t have plans to add forms support for data entry to TablePress. That’s simply beyond the intended scope of the plugin.

    Table data is not stored in files, but in the site’s database. Specifically, the table is stored as a JSON-encoded two-dimensional array in the wp_posts database table, using the Custom Post Type API.

    Regards,
    Tobias
