PHP Warning in PHP 7.2 with TablePress 1.9

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

This is strange. From what I can see, this can only happen if the internal table data format is somehow broken (that is, if the individual cells are not strings but arrays).
If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!

Regards,
Tobias

You were absolutely right – we had cell data stored as arrays instead of strings. I should have realised that! For anyone else who finds this topic, we added this to convert the arrays:

// Make sure col content is a string type.
+		foreach ( $table['data'] as $row_id => $row ) {
+			foreach ( $row as $col_id => $content ) {
+				if ( is_array( $content ) ) {
+					$content = implode( ', ', $content );
+				}
+				$content = (string) $content;
+
+				$table['data'][ $row_id ][ $col_id ] = $content;
+			}
+		}
+

Thanks Tobias for a great plugin. Donation on its way…

Hi,

good to hear that this helped!

Now I’m curious though: Why do you have an array in the cell content? Are you doing some special/custom data manipulation in the database, like direct SQL queries?

Hiya, it’s because we have a column which displays two bits of info in each cell – both CPT titles. These are related so we need to show both in the cell.

Hi,

ok, so you are retrieving/storing them in the TablePress table data using a custom method?
