wrapping text and turning URLs in hyperlinks

One more question:

On the number of rows showing on each page: Can I set the default to 100 and let the max be the whole table in case someone wants to put it all on one page?

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

How are you currently creating the links? Are you using the TablePress Automatic URL conversion Extension? If so, you can replace that with a different solution:
1) Turn off the Extension again.
2) Add this to the “Custom Commands” text field on the table’s “Edit” screen:

"columnDefs": [ {
    "targets": [ 2 ],
    "render": function ( data, type, row, meta ) {
      return '<a href="'+data+'">View Page</a>';
    }
  }
]

Regarding the pagination choices: You can use https://tablepress.org/extensions/length-change-all-entry/ to add an “All” entry to the dropdown.

Thanks! Yes I was using TablePress Automatic URL conversion Extension. I’ll try these things.

Nevermind – found custom commands.

I put it in the plugin options area where other code is, and it didn’t like it. It had some red X’s. Is that the right place for this?

“columnDefs”: [ {
“targets”: [ 2 ],
“render”: function ( data, type, row, meta ) {
return ‘View Page‘;
}
}
]

Woot. Thanks both of those things worked. One more question – so the thing looks more even, can the View Page be on one line?

Hi,

no, that’s the wrong field! Not in the “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen, but the “Custom Commands” field on the table’s “Edit” screen.

Yep I found it. This is my last question:

One more question – so the thing looks more even, can the View Page be on one line?

Thank you!

Hi,

yes! For that, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:

.tablepress-id-8 .column-3 {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Excellent. Thank you so much.

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
