Activate Collaps Mode

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Did you activate the Extension as a new plugin and add the responsive=collapse Shortcode parameter?
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Regards,
Tobias

Hey Tobias,

thnx for your reply. We are testing the extension at our stagingsite so it is not public. sry.

responsive=collapse Shortcode? No, we are using the “normal” shortcode from Tablepress.

We saw no information here: https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/ that we have to use a special shortcode. where is the correct use described?

thnx for helping & best regards from Germany

Hi Nick,

it’s not a “special Shortcode”, just an extra parameter added to the Shortcode on the page where you are showing the table ??
This is described in the “Usage instructions” section in the lower part of https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/

Ahh, get it. thnx Tobias.

But could it be that there could be a little problem?

This means that I have to find every page that has the original shortcode embedded in it to extend it.

Right?

Hi,

yes, you could have to add this to every Shortcode for which you want to do this.

Alternatively, you could set it as the default, with a code change. Specifically, please change line 101 of the file /wp-content/plugins/tablepress-responsive-tables/tablepress-responsive-tables.php from

$default_atts['responsive'] = '';

to

$default_atts['responsive'] = 'collapse';

Ahrrgg, Tobias is it possible to implement this function in the mainplugin as a option?

Hi,

at this time, I don’t have plans for that, sorry. The reason simply is that responsiveness has so many different facets that it has to be a per-table decision by the plugin user.

Can you maybe explain where exactly this approach is not working nicely for you?

We test this extension for our customers and we know that customers don`t like if we or their technicians have to poke around to get this function (“full”)active.

I thought you could put the whole thing under a tab “Extensions” in the plugin Tablepress. There you could activate each “extension” separately for all pages.

Was just a thought and maybe a little more user-friendly. No poking around…

Hi Nick,

yes, that’s an interesting suggestion, with the separate “Extensions” tab. It would require some restructuring, but maybe I can do something like that in a future version.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Best wishes,
Tobias

YW Tobias. Can I write you a private message with another idea. Is not necessarily suitable for this thread … ??

Hi,

sure! Please use the email address from https://tablepress.org/impressum/

Tobias

done …

Hi,

thanks a lot for that suggestion! Yes, something like this is what I would be considering ??

Best wishes,
Tobias

I am very happy that I could contribute something.
