Problem with Big Tables

    I really love this plugin. I am using it on almost all of my websites. Unfortunately at one of the websites I need to import huge table like 10,000 rows. I did it successfully but my page speed dropped to zero. I enabled to show only 10 rows and the user to use the next/previous pagination buttons but it still the same. I saw another website which have source in the code dataTables.min.css and this website has successfully added 15,000 rows without slowing the website. That website is not WordPress as mine, that could be the reason, but I am looking for workaround for this. Please let me know if you can help and what do you suggest to add this huge table without slowing the website. Again thanks for developing the plugin, it’s great.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’m not aware of a solution for this, sorry.
    TablePress currently only supports the full table loading mechanism, which is slow with large tables. That other site probably uses the server-side loading that the DataTables JS library provides. I hope to be able to use that with TablePress in the future, but right now I can’t offer a solution, sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you for your answer. I hope it will be implemented in future. By the way, one more question. Is it possible to add onclick button in the tables for specific box. Lets say user click on the first cell and the value from it gets automatically copied. Please reply when you have time. Thanks again.

    Hi,

    do you mean on the table’s “Edit” screen? It’s not possible there, sorry.

    Or do you mean on the frontend, where the site visitor can then do this? Then, yes, you could technically achieve that, as you can add HTML and JavaScript code to the table or page. Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for this readily available.

    Thanks for the response. Yes I mean when the visitor open my website and click on the cell from the table so he can copy the data inside. Can you link me to the code? Thank you.

    Hi,

    I’d love to, but unfortunately, I don’t know a readily usable solution. You’d need to develop some custom JavaScript code here, I’m afraid.
