Using Print-O-Matic with TablePress

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Unfortunately, I don’t know Ping-O-Matic, but maybe https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-buttons/ can be solution?

We don’t know Ping-O-Matic, but Print-O-Matic (this plugin) should be able to print what you need if you provide the correct target. Can you provide a link to the page in question? Does the table have a unique ID or class you can target? If not, can one be set?

Hi, my website is https://www.pulseandpea.com and this is an example of the post I have added Print-O-Matic to https://69.89.31.141/~pulsean1/?p=8015

In backend editor, the tablepress shortcode for the ingredients is [table id=71 /] and I have added the following Print-O-Matic shortcode,

[print-me target=”.print-this-content”/] to the same text box/ row but this just prints a blank page with the recipe title.

I want to be able to print both the ‘What you need column’ (which is a Tablepress table) and the ‘How to make it column’ (which is a text box) together.

PS I am using Highend Childs theme.

Hi,

sorry for the mix-up of “ping” and “print”. My bad ??

Could the reason for this be that TablePress only registers its Shortcode in the frontend (i.e. is_admin() === false)?

to print out just the ingredients table, simply try using the correct target like so:

[print-me target=".tablepress"/]

To print out the entire recipe, the entry-content would need to be targeted:

[print-me target=".entry-content"/]

Hi, thank you for your help. The ingredients table print code works well. ?? The entire recipe code is trying to print the entire page rather than just the How to Make it Section. How do I target it at certain sections only or at two or more sections i.e. the ingredients table and the How to Make it section?

David

the entire row would need to be assigned a unique ID or class. It seems that you are using a visual page builder. See if there is the possibility to add a class or id to the row element. If you let us know which visual editor you are using, we can maybe help you with a more detailed solution.

Best of luck!

Hi, I am using WPBakery Page Builder.

OK, we just installed WPBakery Page Builder and yes, you can provide a custom css name to the column settings. Simply edit the column and enter a unique name under the General Tab, section titled: Extra class name

This should be the column that holds both the ingredients list and the How to Make section.

Let us know if you get this resolved, or if you need further assistance.

Hi, this nailed it. I added an extra class name to the row that contained the ingredients and method columns and then added the print me target with the extra class name and it loved it!

Thanks for your help ??

Glad it worked out and thank you for marking the thread as resolved.
