CRUD enhancement

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

No, sorry, something like this is not possible. Tables can only be edited (in full) on the “Edit” screen of TablePress, in the admin dashboard of WordPress.
Allowing just partial edits from other locations is not possible. Sorry. For that, you should look into a forms plugin or a custom PHP/mySQL solution.

Dear Tobias

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am very reluctant to give up on your plugin since it is so well designed in every other way!.

Is there a particular “forms” plugin you could point me at?

…I am not sure what to look for or how to spot one that would be appropriate to use with a table that is otherwise being maintained using your plugin…

Sorry to ask such simple questions …

Hi,

no, sorry, I’m not that familiar with forms plugins and can’t really recommend one.
You’ll however most likely not find one that can use a TablePress table as its data storage anyway.

Dear Tobias

This plugin claims to allow edit of data:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-fjqgrid/

Unfortunately it isnt designed as elegantly as yours!…

How did the author pull that off?

I did ask the author the same question but he has not bothered to reply …. unlike you ??

Hi Russ,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

I just briefly checked that plugin page, and from what I can see, it uses a JS library for the frontend, which then accesses a script on the server that directly communicates/modifies a mySQL database table.
That’s however not suitable for usage with TablePress, as the concept and the internal API are different. Of course, if that plugin is what you need, you should look into storing your table as a custom mySQL table instead of in TablePress.

Dear Tobias,

I have this question I could not resolved in Documentation. I would like to select data from tables using WP UserId as a filter. In other words, only login user could see data, but only those records that match UserId fields in TablePress and WP User table

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

For this, you could take a look at the Row Filter Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/ That can however only filter for a static search word. To filter for the current user ID, you will need to develop a custom wrapper Shortcode, with some PHP code. The source code of the Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcode-filter-get-parameter/ might be a good starting point.
