    Hi,

    We purchased the TablePress Extension: Row Filtering and thought it was working the way we understood it to work, but today discovered and issue.

    We have a used equipment list with four columns as follows:
    Type, Brand, Model, Ask Price.

    on the front end we only display the last three columns. the Type column is our equip coding column that we use for different type of used equipment.

    We want to display based on the Type.
    So if we want to only display the used acoustic guitars (Type ACGTR)
    we use this short code [table id=28 filter=”ACGTR” /] … It appears to be working, but here is the problem we found with another type code called PA for PA systems.

    The code we use is [table id=28 filter=”PA” /] …. it too appeared to be working until we discovered that it is displaying anything that has PA anywhere in the row!

    HELP… I am sure this is something simple, but we only want to display rows that have the TYPE=PA.

    Here the website: https://www.musiciansalley.com Short codes are no the used equipment list.

    thank you.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    You are right, the plain filter Shortcode parameter will search for the filter term anywhere in the row, i.e. if it finds it inside other words or in other columsn, that row will be shown.

    Fortunately, there are extra Shortcode parameters to adjust this behavior. We can not only reduce the filtering to searching just particular columns, but also to enable “exact matching”, so that e.g. “PA” inside “ADBPADS” (I made that up) would not match. For that, just extend your Shortcode to

    [table id=28 filter="PA" filter_columns="1" filter_full_cell_match=true /]

    Regards,
    Tobias
