DataTables Buttons and #colspan# issue

Hi,

at least in my case there seems to be an issue with the “TablePress Extension: DataTables Buttons” and #colspan#. (haven’t checked #rowspan#)

The extension does not work in various instances with #colspan#.

As for the header and footer it is only not working when placing a in a cell of the last column

• #colspan# in last column cell of the header AND footer: Extension NOT Working
• #colspan# in last column cell of the footer: Extension Working (with #colspan# in second last cell of the header)
• #colspan# in last column cell of the header: Extension NOT Working (with #colspan# in second last cell of the footer)

As for regular rows and cells it does’t matter where I place the #colspan#. The extension doesn’t work.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or related to my installation (WP 4.9.8, latest versions of TablePress and DataTables Buttons extension, https://kmeducationhub.de). At least there seems to be no Plugin conflict.

Following the shortcode report of a table

array (
  'id' => '1',
  'column_widths' => '',
  'alternating_row_colors' => true,
  'row_hover' => true,
  'table_head' => true,
  'table_foot' => true,
  'first_column_th' => false,
  'print_name' => false,
  'print_name_position' => 'above',
  'print_description' => false,
  'print_description_position' => 'above',
  'cache_table_output' => true,
  'convert_line_breaks' => true,
  'extra_css_classes' => 'factsheet',
  'use_datatables' => true,
  'datatables_sort' => false,
  'datatables_paginate' => false,
  'datatables_paginate_entries' => 10,
  'datatables_lengthchange' => false,
  'datatables_filter' => false,
  'datatables_info' => false,
  'datatables_scrollx' => false,
  'datatables_scrolly' => false,
  'datatables_custom_commands' => '',
  'datatables_locale' => 'en_US',
  'show_rows' => '',
  'show_columns' => '',
  'hide_rows' => '',
  'hide_columns' => '',
  'cellspacing' => false,
  'cellpadding' => false,
  'border' => false,
  'shortcode_debug' => true,
  'datatables_buttons' => 'pdf,print',
  'datatables_buttons_technique' => 'flash,html5',
  'html_id' => 'tablepress-1',
  'edit_table_url' => 'https://kmeducationhub.de/wp-admin/admin.php?page=tablepress&action=edit&table_id=1',
)

Btw. it would be useful to to tell the useres to check at least “Use DataTables” to make the extension work in the “manual”. (https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-buttons/)

Finally, I would be interested to know if there is a way to place the extension buttons below the table.
