Using “Tablepress” causes issues

Hi,

“Tablepress” uses the shortcode [table] which you may also defined to output the tablefield′s table. If so, all you have to do is renaming the shortcode for outputting the tablefield table like add_shortcode( 'tablefield', … );

Cheers,
Johann

hi

you mean in the functions.php?

can you send me an example code please?

Thanks a lot
Uwe

Well, the issue seems to be a name conflict of two shortcodes named “table”. Did you add a code like add_shortcode( 'table', … ); by yourself in the functions.php?

Hi

I currently do use the following code in my functions.php (copied from a support ticket here and modified it to output also the table caption:

function shortcode_acf_tablefield( $atts ) {
    $a = shortcode_atts( array(
        'field-name' => false,
        'post-id' => false,
    ), $atts );

    $table = get_field( $a['field-name'], $a['post-id'] );

    $return = '';

		if ( ! empty( $table['caption'] ) ) {
			$return .= '<div class="table-title">' . $table['caption'] . '</div>';
		}
			
			
    if ( $table ) {

        $return .= '<table class="product-tables">';

            if ( $table['header'] ) {

                $return .= '<thead>';

                    $return .= '<tr>';

                        foreach ( $table['header'] as $th ) {

                            $return .= '<th>';
                                $return .= $th['c'];
                            $return .= '</th>';
                        }

                    $return .= '</tr>';

                $return .= '</thead>';
            }

            $return .= '<tbody>';

                foreach ( $table['body'] as $tr ) {

                    $return .= '<tr>';

                        foreach ( $tr as $td ) {

                            $return .= '<td>';
                                $return .= $td['c'];
                            $return .= '</td>';
                        }

                    $return .= '</tr>';
                }

            $return .= '</tbody>';

        $return .= '</table>';
    }

    return $return;
}

add_shortcode( 'table', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' );

The shortcode I am using to render the table is: [table field-name=”my-tablename”]

Thanks very much for you help in advance

Uwe

I tried to replace all $table with $tabletest but that doesnt seem to work either.

WP display now the shortcode instead of [table “” not found /]

Hope you can help me ??

Uwe

Hi,

you must change add_shortcode( 'table', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' ); into add_shortcode( 'tablefield', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' ); and then using [tablefield field-name="my-tablename"] to output a tablefields table.

Cheers,
Johann
