After installation, there is a new tab in the Admin, and it displays a number of table-related options. However, how are these options applied to various tables? It’s not enough to say that the table ID should be inserted into the shortcode UNLESS EVERY table on your site used exactly the same settings (which would be unlikely).
Also, the ‘demos’ show the resulting tables, not the shortcode configurations which drive them.
What am I missing?
Here is an alternate way to get the JQuery DataTables onto your website.
- Install the “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/
- Go to the Insert Headers Footers plugin settings, and copy and paste the code from this page: https://pastebin.com/FUgxHewx into the “Scripts in Header” field
- Paste the code from this page: https://pastebin.com/ifsQRCRa into “Scripts in Footer” field
- Save the plugin settings
- Go to wherever your tablecode is and set the class=”tmdc_data_table”. Example: <table class=”jsdatatable”>
And that’s it. No plugin needed. If you don’t want the print/excel/pdf buttons to appear, REMOVE this line from the footer code: buttons: [‘copy’, ‘csv’, ‘excel’, ‘pdf’, ‘print’]

Hello,
When I place images in a jquery datatable I get more space around it than I like. Is there any way to reduce it. Is there a pre-defined padding for the cells? If so where can I modify it?

]]>Hello,
I can only have this plugin work with one table, but not with multiple tables.
I have each table with different id and use do_shortcode (via php template) accordingly but it doesn’t seems to work.
Below is my shortcode:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[wp_jdt id=”table1″ searching=”true” ordering=”true” order_row_number=”0″ paging=”false”]’);?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[wp_jdt id=”table2″ searching=”true” ordering=”true” order_row_number=”0″ paging=”false”]’);?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[wp_jdt id=”table3″ searching=”true” ordering=”true” order_row_number=”0″ paging=”false”]’);?>
Am I doing something wrong?
]]>I would like to know where is the best place to put the shortcode.
Before or After the table? Or maybe in the footer of the web? before BODY tag closes?

]]>Hi, I am interested in translating the FrontEnd of the plugin. Maybe in the future the BackEnd. (Spanish)
Could you tell me how I could help you? I have been reading the “how to translate” explanations but don’t know how to proceed.
Maybe you could give me some excel file or something I could make the translations.
Thanks for your time,
I will wait for your answer asap.

Hello,
Can someone help me on using this plugin to display tables from MySQL database?

Hi there,
thanks for creating this plugin, but unfortunately it’s unusable on non-english sites, as it has no support for native DataTables internationalization (see documentation), nor options to change the texts that appears in the frontend (i.e. “Search”, “Previous”, “Next”, etc).
More generally it has no support for WP localization (see here).
Please note that nowadays ~50% of WordPress websites are non-english, so it would be important to full support languages other than english.
Hi,
Great plugin, used on several sites.
However, we’re now trying to use it with this checkbox extension:
https://www.gyrocode.com/projects/jquery-datatables-checkboxes/
Everything works properly, except that we get this alert on every page load:
DataTables warning: table id=example - Cannot reinitialise DataTable
We tried destroying the dataTable and recreating it, but the error remains.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I use your extension to make a home made table created by a wp query sortable in js. Its working great when I have select 125 product in my wp query. But I dont know how many but when I show all my product the plugin not working. nothing appears… Do you have a idea why plugin not working when I have maybe 200 products and more in a table.
Thanks
]]>I’m new to the plugin and finding it very useful and flexible. Thank you so much.
I have it setup with another plugin to show results from a json api in the table. I can modify it with form fields on the same page, but so far only know how to do this with html forms that make me have to refresh the page.
Is there an easy way to do this with javascript form actions instead?
