Enabling TableTools

    In your documentation for Features of the DataTables JavaScript Library it’s mentioned that I can additionally add the TableTools library to DataTables by enabling the “DataTables+TableTools” library in the “Plugin Options”. Then you can enable the “Use TableTools” checkbox on the “Edit table” screen for each table individually.
    I don’t see where you enable the DataTables+TableTools library in the “Plugin Options of TablePress. Therefore, I don’t see the “Use TableTools” checkbox on the “Edit table” screen. My goal is to enable this so that I can enable my users to print the table. Please advise.
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    Unfortunately, the documentation is wrong here. (I had just copied that part from the old WP-Table Reloaded docs and apparantly forgot to correct this part.)
    The TableTools add-on for DataTables is now no longer directly included in TablePress, and therefore the described checkboxes are not there.
    Instead, TableTools can be added to TablePress via a “TablePress Extension”, which is basically a plugin for TablePress. To use that, just install and activate https://github.com/downloads/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions/tablepress-datatables-tabletools.zip just like a regular WordPress plugin. After that, just change the table’s Shortcode from something like

    [table id=123 /]

    to

    [table id=123 datatables_tabletools=true /]

    Regards,
    Tobias
