    Hello Tobias,

    Great plugin, thank you very much!

    Here’s my question:

    I want to create a single table with 2 columns and 6 rows. I want to have a pre-typed text on the first column and then use custom text from an external .txt file for the second column when the table appears in different pages.

    For example, there are 20 pages, each one with a separate name (Page1, Page2… Page19, Page20). I want to upload some .txt files on my server (text1.txt, text2.txt… text19.txt, text20.txt) and then have the table pick up the values of the first column from a generic table (let’s say [table id=<1> /]) and the values of the second column from the .txt files.

    Maybe this can work with text files with comma delimited content (value1,value2… value5,value6).

    Can this be done?

    Thank you in advance,

    Alexander

    Hi,

    I don’t see a way on how this could be achieved using the current code of the plugin. After all, the plugin is designed to render static data, and not dynamically retrieved data.

    A workaround that you could try, is to use PHP in the table cells (you’ll need to install a “WP-Table Reloaded Extension” from my website first for this). Then that PHP code would need to determine what page you are on and include the corresponding txt file.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
