Buttons not Showing / Rows Not Colored

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

First, for the buttons: Can you please check if the “Use DataTables” checkbox is checked on the table’s “Edit” screen? Also, do the search, sorting, etc. functions appear when you only use the normal Shortcode

[table id=4 /]

?

As for the row colors: Row 2 and 4 are working correctly, from what I can see. The next rows that you indicated are rows 51 and 59. That table however only has 25 rows in total…

Excellent as always!
I had Use Data Tables box un-checked, by checking it and removing the other checkboxes, gave me what I wanted

The 2nd part of my question – the row colors
I’m using the sheet as an availability form, in the backend, I have over 100 fields; when the property rents out, we hide the row, which is why I have off numbers in my CSS.
I prefer the option to manage this in Google Forms – styling, hiding, formatting, and the ability to share that form with my team, have it in a centralized location where manage the listings. Is there a better option or any suggestions.

Hi,

great! Good to hear that the buttons are working now!

As for the row colors: It looks like you want to highlight the rows that have the building address. These seem to contain a common word like “Street” or “Avenue”, so that you could use those for highlight, via the approach mentioned on https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value/

Thank you…I started adding the code, but the link in the code isn’t working, the zip file.
https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-row-highlighting.zip

This is what my shortcode and CSS should look like based on that post. Where anywhere there is Street or Avenue in a field, that row gets highlighted.

[table id=4 row_highlight=”Street,Avenue” datatables_buttons=”colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print” /]

.tablepress thead th,
.tablepress tfoot th {
background-color: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
}

.tablepress-id-4 .row-highlight-street td {
background-color: #dddddd !important;
}

.tablepress-id-4 .row-highlight-avenue td {
background-color: #dddddd !important;
}

Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean. The download link is working for me. Can you please try that again?

Also, please use the Shortcode parameter like

row_highlight="Street||Avenue"

then.

Thank you, I was able to now download and update the plugin, although I am still struggling…sorry.

[table id=4 row_highlight=”Street||Avenue” datatables_buttons=”pdf” /] .

Here is what I have where my rows that have Street and Avenu get highlighted in #dddddd
and I only want a PDF option.

The highlights aren’t working (what am I doing wrong)
Now I’m not seeing the buttons at all

Thank you.

(Is it better/easiest to do this in Google Spreadsheets)?

Hi,

are you sure that both Extensions are activated? And can you please check that you are using “upright” quotation marks " in the Shortcode (and not the curly ones that show here in the forums as “)?

Tobias

Thank you, that fixed it the ”

[table id=4 row_highlight=”Street||Avenue” datatables_buttons=”pdf” /]

Although I’m still not seeing how the row is highlighed.

Hi,

great that this helped!

I forgot that the Extension, by default, checks the full cell for matches. To turn that off, please try again with this Shortcode:

[table id=4 row_highlight="Street||Avenue" row_highlight_full_cell_match=false datatables_buttons="pdf" /]
