Tablepress Plugin – Issue with sorting and Save As option

  • I have created an internal-only website basically which is used to displayhuge amount of data (more than 2000 rows) using tablepress plug-in.

    I’m leveraging tablepress extensions to sort, filter etc.

    I’m now running with two issues. I have added the short code to sort and added the datatable extension to be able to export data from front end itself.
    Below is the short code that I’m using:
    ———————————
    [table id= 3 datatables_tabletools_fixedheader="true" datatables_tabletools_fixedheader_headers="top" datatables_columnfilterwidgets="true" datatables_columnfilterwidgets_max_selections=1 datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 /]
    ———————————
    Would be really grateful if any of our wordpress experts help with this.
    I’m unable to see Save As/Export options in the generated table is there any mistake in the above code which is stopping this from happening?

    I’m only looking for ways to display data in a tabular format and not that focused on design.
    Additional Questions(Couldn’t resist to ask ?? ) :
    1. I’m currently using Keepwriting theme, as I have more than 10 columns to display, is there any better theme that can provide more page width or a way to increase the width by changing some parameters?I still see there is scope to increase width at left and right.
    2. Even though I explicitly specify in pagination to display 25 records per page, I see full table being displayed. Is there any way to sort this out?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    This is likely caused by some JavaScript issues. I suggest that you work on this step by step.
    At first, get the plain TablePress features to work (like that pagination with 25 rows). If that does not work, the rest will also not work.
    Then, add one Extension after another, to see when things break. Unfortunately, there’s a chance (I’m not 100% sure) that the ColumnFilterWidgets and the TableTools+FixedHeader Extensions can not be used together ??

    For more insights into this, I also recommend to check for JS errors in the JS error log console in your browser.

    Regarding that theme issues: Unfortunately, I can’t give specific advise here. There are very many themes out there, all with different widths. It should also be possible to adjust that Keepwriting theme, but I’m not familiar with it, so I don’t know the exact CSS changes that would be necessary.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Many thanks for your response, I took your suggestion to tackle things one by one, took out all short-codes, except the table ID. However pagination at 25 is still not working. I have set the horizontal scrolling. Would this affect pagination in any way?

    Hi,

    no, that shouldn’t affect it.

    Please make sure that you are using the latest version of TablePress, 1.6.1.

    Otherwise, I’ll need to see the page with the table in order to be able to investigate this.

    Tobias
