Hello,
I'm developing a website with a large use of tables made with TablePress. The plugin is amazing but I have a problem with the Wordpress search function. I saw that this feature has already been discussed here. I try to disable all plugins with no results.
At the moment the website is this temporary web address . Have you any suggestion to solve my problem?
Thanks a lot,
Francesco

TablePress_WP_Option::_update_option calls update_option with two parameters. Leaving off the third parameter lets WordPress default the option to autoload. This isn't always ideal, especially if there's a bunch of other options being autoloaded and object caching is in use.

Would it make sense to pass that third parameter and only autoload really important TablePress options?

I have a .csv file that I want to upload to a table in tablepress. The size of the file is 762 kb.

If I do that, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /public/sites/cyclingbase.black-dress.org/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/libraries/csv-parser.class.php on line 255

Is there a way I can change the max memory size?

I'm currently working on a TablePress plugin to joining multiple rows into categories. The HTML table standard supports this behaviour with multiple tbody tags. Digging deeper into the code I doesn't see any possibility to group rows, e.g. using an array of arrays as the data field for rendering.

I would really like to extend the class function towards such functionality but aren't sure if this possibly could find a way in the master.

Unable to uncheck JS options in settings.

Seems, there is a wrong "disabled" tag on fields.

If somebody will have same issue - it can be also removed via developer tools/firebug directly in page code ^^

Hello,

Inside TablePress / controllers / controller-admin.php , I had to add byte order mark to the CSV-export, to make it open successfully in Excel, without opening via the Data->Text (doubleclick to open)

This means:
$export_data = "\xEF\xBB\xBF" . $exporter->export_table( $table, $export['format'], $export['csv_delimiter'] );

AND

$download_data = "\xEF\xBB\xBF" . $export_data;

(just for the CSV exports, one for zip and one for non zipped).

Hey.
I already wrote in the wordpress support theme.
Just repeating this here.

The problem in using invalid markup in the HTML files which provided by another system and problem can’t be done without modification $temp_data in the class-import.php (line 158). Each time when I uploading the file with the invalid markup libxml will return an error (and this is okay) but this will be much more powerful if we will modify the $temp_data before starting working with it in the next step. Something like $temp_data = apply_filters('tablepress_html_import_temp_data', $temp_data); will be enough I think.

like_escape() used in /tablepress/controllers/controller-frontend.php on line 874 is deprecated since WordPress 4.0. It´s recommended to replace it with wpdb::esc_like(). More Information on make.wordpress.org.

Hi, I noticed that when I choose to display the tablename this will become a h2 level heading. I can not use this now because I need it to be a h3 level heading. My feature request is to add a extra option so we can define for each table which heading level it should be.

Dear Willem,

As far as I can see, the tablepress plugin is trying to add some button to the rich text editor. The problem comes when you disable the "Editor" in one of your custom post types, tablepress is not considering this possibility and displays an error message. I would say its a harmless error message.

The solution is that Tablepress checks that there is an editor present before adding buttons to it, or that it only adds the buttons to pages and posts that will always have an editor.

Will you follow up with your plugin author?

Caridad

Dear @TobiasBg,

Would it be possible to fix the table header in the WP-Admin?

Especially for long tables I always have to scroll back up to the top to remind myself which column stands for what.

Example of a header:

What do you think?

Thankfully,

Hi, I've implement the serverside tablepress based on tablepress and ColumnFilterWidgets plugins, currently just an working one, with some little bug.
so as GPL required, where shall I submit the patch ?

Is it possible with TablePress to create "Tables with header cells in first column only"?

In first column the cell should be a table header cell (th) which
is useful or even required for some kind of tabular data.

Hey.

Why was the plugin removed from the official WordPress plugin directory?

I installed this plugin on one of our client sites running WP3.8 and found that the Plugins list in WP was broken when TablePress was activated: only Akismet would display in the All list, though the other plugins were available via search. The error logs file gave this error:

[timestamp] [error] [client IP] PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to TablePress_Admin_Controller::add_plugin_row_meta() must be an array, null given in /path/to/site/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/controllers/controller-admin.php on line 288, referer: http://client.company.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=active

Our developer took a look and made a fix. His notes below:

"The 'array $links, $file' parameters had no values when the function was called. The $links array is actually populated in the function itself, so there would be no values to pass as a function parameter. I don't know what the purpose behind the if ( TABLEPRESS_BASENAME == $file ) { } conditional was, but apparently there was no value assigned to the $file parameter either because with that conditional in there the Plugin Meta Data links weren't being shown on the Plugins page, which says the TABLEPRESS_BASENAME did NOT equal $file, which would be NULL."

He removed the parameters in the function and removed the conditional statement—but maybe that's not a long-term fix.

I can't autoupdate table using url with json format. Please let me know how to diagnose the case.
showing "Failed @ date time" in column Last Auto Import thank you @TobiasBg

Hi,

I finished the final strings translation to hebrew and noticed that your plugin page on hebrew local (https://he.wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) needs banner update.

I wrote a post about this issue – https://generatewp.com/how-to-improve-your-plugin-header-image/

To fix this UI glitch you need to create a new bidirectional header images for LTR and RTL view.

When displaying a table of summary or comparison information, it would be useful to be able to apply additional classes to selected rows to add additional styling to call-out the row's contents.

It would be nice if more than one row can be in the table header.

This is required for example in nested table headers where
multiple columns are grouped with sub-columns in second row.

Using #rowspan# for including rows below (e.g. the 2nd row) in table header wouldn't work, see

• https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/classes/class-export.php#L105
• https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/classes/class-render.php#L583

Hi TobiasBg, first of all thank you for such a nice plugin 👍 I just have one doubt, can we retrieve the max. row number from a table press table-id onto a widget ?

Hi Tobias,
I love your plugin for its simplicity in usage for non-coder. Thank you for your work!

As we used it for a time now, there is a question I want to ask about a new, hopefully simple feature.
Like the In/Visible status for selected rows it would be great to have a same option in the "dashbord" for a whole table.
For Example it could look like:
Edit | Shortcode | Copy | Export | Delete | Visible | Preview

and
Edit | Shortcode | Copy | Export | Delete | Invisible | Preview

That would he helpful for having a site with two tables whereas one is only relevant and you could just switch the visibility of them.

I have this problem when the TablePress menu is attached to a CPT menu.
The "Destaques" menu, is the Post menu with labels changed.

Looks like the default Post menu ("Destaques", in this case) is activated too.
And the TablePress menu inside my CPT menu, isn't with "active style" (the blue link).

Maybe a conflict with parameters passed for edit.php file? (post_type and page)

Add the option for cell align and valign.

Imagine a simple table with the following markup:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Heading 1</th>
            <th>Heading 2</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <th>A</th>
            <td>B</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>C</th>
            <td>D</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

For the purposes of showing the table nicely on mobile, we'd like to add a data-label attribute to each body cell, with the value of the corresponding column header. The output should be like:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Heading 1</th>
            <th>Heading 2</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <th data-label="Heading 1">A</th>
            <td data-label="Heading 2">B</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th data-label="Heading 1">C</th>
            <td data-label="Heading 2">D</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

We think we'd need the tablepress_cell_tag_attributes filter, and can see a table ID is available, but not sure how to go about limiting the filter to the right cells, and grabbing the right column header for the data-label value.

Could you offer a suggestion for the callback please?

Hi there, I inputted custom CSS as described in a previously closed thread in order to align middle a table. When saved the custom CSS made no change to the table.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I investigated whether my wordpress installation is ready for PHP7. That's why I used the Plugin PHP Compatibility Checker which checks my plugins for PHP7-compatibility.

It says that TablePress is not compatible due to the following 2 errors and 2 warnings:

I'm not a PHP expert, but the errors just revolves around deprecated functionality, which still works.

Within my local php 7 test setup, the TablePress just works fine. It seems that this is not a critical problem.

Will this be fixed? Is this a blocker for my php7 migration? I suppose it's not.

I'm using TablePress Version 1.7.

I'm trying to combine all the cells in a row with a #colspan#: http://cloud.jen.gs/WNQo. There are 4 columns in my table, but it's only adding 3 cells to the row when there either needs to be four or needs to be one with a colspan=4 attribute: http://cloud.jen.gs/WO0Y. So now my table looks like this: http://cloud.jen.gs/WNH4.

If I add a #colspan# tag to each cell in my table (ie, http://cloud.jen.gs/WNgC), then it only adds one cell to the row and still no colspan element: http://cloud.jen.gs/WNQv. So then my table looks like this: http://cloud.jen.gs/WOE8.

Any thoughts?

The settings from any table editing form (e.g. Table options and DataTables stuff) seems to not be applied to the table rendered in posts when qTranslate-X plugin is activated as well. Not sure if the problem is the translate plugin though.

In preview DataTables features are not available.
It makes sense to have this available in preview, too,
because one can review and try out the changes by DataTables options.

The table header does not fit to the table when using sorting 😒

There is a tablepress_print_colgroup_tag filter (for s) but apparently no GUI feature yet for controlling it.

Hi @TobiasBg!

I'm running into this issue with TablePress and have been poking around to see if there's a good approach to regenerating the table ID associations.

The table data is inserted fine in posts and postmeta during import. Because of the missing tablepress_tables option, it does not show in the standard TablePress display. It does show if I go directly to edit.php?post_type=tablepress_table.

I could see hooking on wp_import_insert_post to regenerate the data. I could also see having a "regenerate" or "flush" option that triggers and entire rewrite of tablepress_tables. This could be useful in a case where that option is accidentally deleted for some reason as well.

Before I dig further—is this something that you could see supporting in the future? And have you given any thought to approach if so?

Thanks!

I've added images to show this more succinctly!

Upon activation of TablePress, the plugin overwrites the menu item after Comments, rather than just adding to the menu order.

Before (showing the Google Maps plugin's menu item)

And after (replacing that menu item)

I tried with a few other plugins, including my own that just slot into the menu and this one always wants to be at that specific position regardless of whatever is already there.

Currently when you click add link in the advanced field editor you cannot type in the link field or the Link Text field. It only works if you search for a page or click "or link to existing content"
Tablepress Version 1.4

Is there a way to cause TablePress to kick into action for custom post types when the post type has a post content editor? For example we have a CPT that has 2 content editors, one for the post content and one for the excerpt and both use WP Editor ( TinyMCE ). We'd like to have the TablePress button appear in those editors, but it doesn't.

Hey, first off.. great plugin!

I will definitely be using it more often to style tablesheets in the future.

There is really only one thing I'm getting hung up on. Please see this screenshot for reference:

Also: http://www.emikamito.com/acting-resume-2/

I currently have three tables on the page, and have the colors set how I like them; however, I'm trying to make it so all of the text aligns up vertically in each table. I'm thinking I might need to define width properties for the table cells, or something similar?

Here is a screenshot of what I want:

Thank you heaps in advance, it's really not that big of an issue but it would be the icing on the cake.

I'm working on a site that uses TablePress, and it seems that content inside of a table isn't showing up in search results. For example, on this page there's a table with a cell that says "USCO-003". Searching for that via the search bar at the top of the page does return a few results, but not the actual correct result (which would be the "Overhead Cutouts" page.

I'm guessing this is because it's using a shortcode to display the table. Is there a way to fix this?

your plugin is awesome!!

nut i have missing one option, to deal with large table ie 200+ Records in editing mode, takes ages to display the form, best solution for me is to add "add button" to the view page to add single entry and do option column where "edit and remove button" will be placed. also good idea is to paginate edit form page. Thanks

The idea was to add a metabox with the advanced settings in the edit screen.

add_meta_box(
    'vr_tablepress_metabox', // $id
    esc_html__('Additional Options'), // $title
    'vr_table_options',
    'tablepress_edit'
);

functions vr_table_options( array $data)
    {
        $options = $data['table']['options'];
?>
        <table class="tablepress-postbox-table fixed">
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <th class="column-1" scope="row"><?php esc_html_e('First Column is Header'); ?>:</th>
                    <td class="column-2"><label for="option-first-column-th"><input type="checkbox" id="option-first-column-th" name="table[options][first_column_th]" value="true"<?php checked($options['table_head']); ?> /> <?php esc_html_e('The first cell of the table row is header.'); ?></label></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
<?php
    }

But this doesn't work when Screen 'tablepress_edit'. Any way to add additional metabox to Edit Screen?

I noticed that using tables in a wordpress page and having Quick Cache plugin activated it gets in conflict when I make a change in a table (visitors see old table info).

Is the cache info being invalidated when a table changes? Quick Cache provides a sort of mini-API with operations like this one:

$_SERVER['QUICK_CACHE_ALLOWED'] = FALSE;

does it possible to disable particular table header ?

For example I don't want the sorting for the # header. Any idea about disabling first row table header item ? http://demo.athimannil.com/table/

Hallo,
kannst du hinzufügen das man Farben benutzen kann.

Table fields data is not escaped when previewing tables. Authenticated users can trigger a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
However, the attack vector has a very low risk.

The plugin has the ability to toggle css on/off

However, I have un-enqueued Jquery on my site (and have it loaded in a minified grunt-generated file). TablePress, however, reinjects jQuery v1.12.4 immediately before jquery.datatables.min.js?ver=1.8

This causes a conflict on my site and blocks Stripe from loading.

Can jQuery be toggled on/off or an option to unhook from the functions.php be added?

They first load 100% width, but then revert to squashed after the page is fully loaded. Any ideas? Thanks much.

If there was an option to bring the tables to the front end as raw data (json, array, etc). This would enable many new features. The admin area is exceptional for managing data inside the wordpress area vs. some other interface to the database.

This would let me use tablepress as a version controlled micro database for small page specific components. (Example: A map with a list of points)

I'm able to get this to work by modifying template files but it would be so much more useful to be able to use a shortcode.
$table = TablePress::$controller->model_table->load( $the_table_id );
echo "<script> var table_data = " .json_encode( $table['data']). "</script>";

Hi,

I was just wondering if there are any plans to create wp-cli integration:

https://wp-cli.org/docs/tools/

This is so that I could import/export/create/delete tables from the bash command line to help me perform backups.

Kind regards,
Sher
