Highlight a Row Based on Value Question

    I have read the topic here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value/

    However, I was wondering how to make two or three words the trigger for a row highlight?

    Currently, we are coding the table in CSS by row with code highlight like:

    .tablepress-id-1 .row-4 td {
	background-color: black;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: white;

    But as we add or delete rows we have to go and change .row.

    What would be helpful is how can I trigger a row highlight, like above using a words like: Route Coordinator or Missing Man Coordinator? I need the trigger to be two or three words.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    That should not really be a problem. In that case, the CSS class will be highlight-route-coordinator or highlight-missing-man-coordinator.

    So, to be clear. This is possible using the ‘highlight by a row based on value’ tablepress extension? Or are you suggesting this is different approach, not using that extension?

    As an example:
    My CSS code would be???:

    .tablepress .row-highlight-route-coordinator td {
	background-color: black;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: white;

    Ok.. I am still not getting this to work. Do I need to use the plug-in or not? Can you please provide step-by-instructions to implementation?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    yes, you will need the Extension for this, as only that brings the actual highlighting functionality.
    For instructions please see the first reply in the link that you also posted, https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value/

    Thank you for your help! You are wonderful! I have been able to get what I need to work. One last question…

    How can I get words with hyphens to be the row highlight trigger. For example, I need:

    “1st PLATOON — Side-by-Side”

    to trigger a row highlight.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    as the first step, please try adding that as the highlight term, i.e.

    [table id=1 row_highlight="...||...||1st PLATOON — Side-by-Side" /]

    with your existing highlight terms. After that, I can see the necessary CSS class in the page HTML code.

    Regards,
    Tobias
