You’d need a developer to look at that, as you need to add some code to your theme or a custom plugin to do this. Sorry I can’ be more help

Hi,

The three dots (&hellp;) is added by WordPress function get_comment_excerpt. You would need to use the ‘get_comment_excerpt filter’ to change the output to add the read more:

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply. The plugin doesn’t currently support that feature I’m afraid, but you could get a developer involved to customise it to meet your requirements.

Many thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Sorry for delay. No the plugin isn’t compatible with those fields, either in this plugin or the Pro version. These fields will be associated with a user account rather than a post (or post type) and our plugin doesn’t work with users.

Thanks for asking…

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply. For some reason we haven’t added a filter for the comment args, as the default widget does. However we will definitely add that in the next version. Once this is done, you can add this code to exclude posts by author:

function brc_comments_less_author( $args ) {
   global $post;
   $args['post_author__not_in'] = $post->post_author;
   return $args;
}
add_filter( 'better_recent_comments_comment_args', 'brc_comments_less_author' );

I’ll update this thread when this filter becomes available.

Hi,

No it’s not possible to add tag at the moment, but we’ll look at this for the next version.

You can do this in our “Pro” version of Posts Table – https://barn2.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/posts-table-pro/

Hi,

Your theme is doing this. You’ll need to add some CSS to your customiser (Appearance -> Customiser -> Additional CSS) or to a child theme. E.g.

table.dataTable tbody td {
  color: #333;
}

Hi,

No the plugin doesn’t support that at the moment, but I’ll add it to the list!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. You can’t currently do that, but in the next version I’ll add a filter to allow this. Should be in the next day or two. Will update this thread when available.

Andy

No problem ??

Hi,

Sorry for slow reply. Try adding this to your theme or child theme’s functions.php file:

function xyz_set_comment_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 10;
}
add_filter( 'comment_excerpt_length', 'xyz_set_comment_excerpt_length' );

This will change it in the default WordPress comments widget too.

Hope that helps,
Andy

Excellent ??

Hi,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Not sure what happened with the previous release – I think there was a glitch somewhere in SVN. Anyway, 1.0.4 is now definitely available for download/update. Let me know if any further problems….

Andy

Hi,

Yes you could do that in either Posts Table Pro or WC Product Table. You would need to initialise your external database somewhere (e.g. on the ‘init’ hook) then add your custom column to the shortcode like this:

[product_table columns=”name,price,external-quantity,add-to-cart”]

(Assuming you’re using Product Table, but you could do the same in Table Pro).

You then need to add a filter to fetch the external quanitity, e.g.

add_filter( 'wc_product_table_custom_data_external-quantity', 'wcpt_add_custom_data_external_quantity', 10, 3 );
function wcpt_add_custom_data_external_quantity( $value, $post, $product ) {
    $value = // fetch from external DB
    return $value;
}

Hope that helps.

Hi Andy! Yeah it would be better as a shortcode option. I’ll make sure to add that in the next version, so it’s not hard-coded.
