Android/iPad editing

  • Hi again. i have the plugin installed and everything works very well from my laptop and desktop.

    My plan was to be able to edit records via a mobile device. But I am not able to touch inside the cells of a row to edit anything. The row turns “blue” and the cell turns “purple” as it normally does on my Laptop. But I am not able to change any cell values. Ive tried it from my android phone as well as from my iPad.

    I’ve installed the WordPress android app and tried editing records from there to no avail. Ive also just logged in to WordPress from a browser on both the android phone and iPad and was not able to edit.

    Is this a limitation of the plugin? Thank you again for any help.

    Oh. I am able to do “sorts” or “searches” from the very top row of each column from my mobile devices. I am just not able to edit cells.

    I havnt tried to do much on mobile devices, and any limitations here are likely slickgrid (the underlying spreadsheet software). That said I was able to double tap on a cell in chrome on my android to activate editing.

    Hopefully this works everywhere and is sufficient ??

    Thx for responding. I tried on Chrome and Chrome Dev with no success.

    I have a Samsung S5 Active. What phone and version of Chrome let you edit cells?

    This is the code that I added for my table:

    if(function_exists(‘add_db_table_editor’)){
    add_db_table_editor(array( ‘title’=>’Order By Last Name’, ‘table’=>’votertable’, ‘sql’=>’SELECT * FROM votertable ORDER BY Voters_LastName ASC’ ));
    }

    I have a sony xperia Z2 with the normal app store chrome on vanilla Android 5.1.1. I might try to install firefox or something.

    Just to verify, you can edit cells on your desktop right?

    Yes. I can edit very well on desktop and laptop.

    I can’t edit on Android Internet Browser, iPad Safari, Chrome, CM Browser…none of my mobile devices. Thanks for the testing.

    Hi. I’d like to know if you think it’s possible to fix this bug. If so, I could make a donation because I’d really like to use this plugin. No other plugin I’ve come across is laid out as simple as this as far as editing.

    I will look into this next week. I have a heavy work load currently, but your kind words and a donation are likely to help me get to this rapidly ??

    Talk to you on Monday

    The problem definitely exists with the underlying software,which has no intentions of supporting touch devices :/ I activated jquery-ui-touch-punch which is supposed to help, but i still cant quite get the click to edit working. looking at a custom event handler
