Modal form scrollbar and export questions

    Hi Peter

    I have a few questions and will post each separately to avoid confusion…

    Firstly the Modal form.
    I have my data in a single table, published through Data Publisher (premium) and set to Responsive and Modal. A couple of my fields can have long text in them and that makes the Modal form extend below the bottom of the screen.
    Is there any way to add a vertical scrollbar to it?
    I tried the scroll settings shown at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/data-publisher-and-search/
    That didn’t add scrolling to the Modal form, just the main one. I have 7300 records in that table so the page became unusably slow.

    Can scrolling be added to the form or to single fields within it?

    Thanks

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    The issue with the modal form was already reported. It is fixed in the next update. I’m currently finishing the update. Hope to release tonight or tomorrow.

    >>> Can scrolling be added to the form or to single fields within it?

    Yes, that is possible. A css class containing the column name is added to every td element. You can use that class to style each individual table column. Don’t forget to add the .wpda-child-table table to avoid restyling the td elements in the main table.

    Does this solve your issue?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Sorry Michael, I forgot to mention…

    You can increase performance by forcing the user to to press the enter key to search. This prevents a request for every key pressed. This feature is documented here:

    Hope this helps,
    Peter

    Thanks Peter, I wasn’t even aware that the lack of scrollbar on the modal form was a bug but fixing it has done exactly what I needed!

    Thanks again for your prompt response and assistance.

    Michael
