Tables in Tabs, images, and other cool features

Hi,

not sure what you mean then. Can you post a link?

Well here is the link: https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/scroll_x.html

This pretty much does the job, all I need is to keep the first column fixed/static

Give me ur thought ??

Thanks alot for the effort mate

Hi,

ah, that’s scrolling, not pagination! ??
For that, you could take a look at https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-fixedcolumns/

Hello,

I have already downloaded and installed the extension, but it doesn’t seem to work or have any effect.

How can i get it to work?
And how can i get the scrolling effect?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Please make sure that the Extension is activated, that you changed the Shortcode (add a new parameter), and that the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen is checked.

Hi,

When i check the check box it gives me the following alert (see image attached)

Hi,

Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Please let me know once you are done

If you have any suggestions regarding the tables please give me your thoughts, it will be really appreciated!!

Hi,

thanks for the link!

The problem here is that your table uses #colspan# to combine cells in a row. Unfortunately, the DataTables JS library (and with that the FixedColumns Extension) does not support that ??
You will have to decide what’s more important for you.

?? Ill see and decide accordingly

Also i have just noticed that it doesnt seem to be responsive, have i done something wrong?

Hi,

making tables on the web responsive is a whole different story.

I suggest to make the table scrollable, e.g. with this approach: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/responsive-tables-scroll-only?replies=6#post-5511954

Tobias
