    Hello Tobias,

    I’m wondering how I can configure the display of TablePress Tools to show only the Download as PDF and Print buttons?

    I have located the CSS to remove buttons from the display for a specific table ID, however I would like to remove these buttons from ALL tables displayed on a site.

    Here is the css code that removes the display from a specific table.

    .DTTT_container #ToolTables_tablepress-2_0 {
    display: none;
    }

    .DTTT_container #ToolTables_tablepress-2_1 {
    display: none;
    }

    .DTTT_container #ToolTables_tablepress-2_2 {
    display: none;
    }

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Spencer

    Hi Spencer,

    thanks for your question.

    Instead of removing the buttons via CSS, the better way should be to not show them at all.
    For that, a small change in the generated JS code of the DataTables TableTools Extension is necessary. Please open the file “tablepress-datatables-tabletools.php” of the Extension and change line 60 from

    $tabletools_options = '{ "sSwfPath": "' . $swf_path . '", "aButtons": [ { "sExtends": "copy", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "csv", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "xls", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "pdf", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "print", "sButtonText": "" } ] }';

    to

    $tabletools_options = '{ "sSwfPath": "' . $swf_path . '", "aButtons": [ { "sExtends": "pdf", "sButtonText": "" }, { "sExtends": "print", "sButtonText": "" } ] }';

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Tobias, can the buttons be moved below the table instead of above?

    Hi,

    yes, that should be possible. However, it requires a change in the JavaScript code of the Extension. Please see line 62 of the file tablepress-datatables-tabletools.php:

    $command = "var {$table_name} = {$command}, {$tabletools_name} = new TableTools({$table_name}, {$tabletools_options}); $('#{$table_wrapper}').before({$tabletools_name}.dom.container);";

    Please try changing that to

    $command = "var {$table_name} = {$command}, {$tabletools_name} = new TableTools({$table_name}, {$tabletools_options}); $('#{$table_wrapper}').after({$tabletools_name}.dom.container);";

    Regards,
    Tobias
