    hi, i am trying to see if i can use tablepress (WHICH I LOVE!) instead of a database. i don’t have large tables and a database seems excessive.

    currently have many tables showing rosters for our high school sport teams. managing multiple tables is cumbersome so i would like to put all the data into ONE table and show a portion of the appropriate data on each teams website page.

    i.e. the master roster table would have all team athletes data and on the basketball page i would like to show only the basketball athletes data. but i don’t know if this is possible and if so how to do it using tablepress.

    could you please let me know.

    thank you!

    Hi Kelley,

    thanks for your question.

    This should be a perfect use case for the TablePress Row Filtering Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/
    With that, you could add an extra and hidden column to your table that contains certain keywords that indicate in which tables a row should be shown. The Row Filtering Extension then allows you to add a Shortcode parameter to filter on these keywords.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question! Sorry for the late answer. As I was on vacation, I didn’t have a chance to reply earlier.

    Besides the Filtering Extension, you could simply use the hide_rows, show_rows, hide_columns, and show_columns Shortcode parameters, that are explained in the TablePress documentation at https://tablepress.org/documentation/
    That allow you to specify which rows/columns you want to see, based on the row and column numbers.

    Regards,
    Tobias
