    thanks alot for the great plugin!
    I need the tablepress to automatically filter the excel file into a right order and import it to the table:

    here’s an example:

    there are lots of inputs in this form
    from: txtmsg –> “1st topic-2nd topic-3rd topic” & “also the sender number”

    which are exported to an excel file and i want to import them into the table
    to: table:

    | 1st topic | 2nd topic | 3rd topic | the sender number |
    | … | … | …

    is it possible?
    i thought it might be possible using the single cell shortcode extension and the automatic update! but i don’t know how.
    thanks for your attention!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    I’m not sure if I understand what you mean.
    It sounds as if the content you have is not yet really a table, but some formatted text?

    Then, TablePress is not really useful for that just yet. TablePress can not perform automatic re-formatting of data or content, so you will need to find a different way create the actual table (in Excel for example). Once you really have a table, you can of course import that into TablePress.

    thanks for the answer!
    in fact i want to separate txtmsges that i receive from a sms panel into groups to put them into a csv file and then automatically import it to the tablepress.

    the txtmsges are recieved in this form
    //MyDomain/GetSMS.php?From=$from&To=$to&Text=$text&SmsId=$SmsId
    to my url and i want the “Text” part to be separated and then imported to tablepress
    and also the sender number

    would you please tell me how!

    Hi,

    thanks for the clarification.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have a readily available solution to that. Sorry. You will need to look into some custom PHP programming to split the string and extract the information and then save it e.g. in the database.

    Hi,

    I don’t have specific links, you should simply start with some tutorials on PHP or WordPress plugin programming that you find with your favorite search engine.
    However, if you don’t have programming experience, developing this will not be easy…

    Best wishes,
