Adding last modified date under the table

Hi,

thanks for your question.

This is possible with the [table-info /] Shortcode, that is described in the TablePress documentation at https://tablepress.org/documentation/

In your case, you’ll want something like

[table-info id=123 field="last_modified" format="human" /]

For other date formats, you can also change the “format” parameter to “raw” or “mysql”.

Great thanks. How about if I use the template tag instead and do something like this:

if( has_shortcode( get_the_content(), 'table' ) ) {
	preg_match('/(?<=\[table id\=)(.*)(?=\/\])/', get_the_content(), $tableID );
	echo '<p>Last Updated: ';
	echo tablepress_print_table_info( array( 'id' => $tableID[0], 'field' => 'last_modified') );
	echo '</p>';
}

Essentially, I’m trying to automate it so I don’t have to manually add the table-info shortcode to every page that has a table. Do you see anything wrong with that method?

Hi,

no, that should absolutely work as well.
You can however remove the echo before tablepress_print_table_info as that echoes already.
