    Mornin’ Tobias … I’m wondering if a Category feature might be in 3.0, even in a paid version? If not, I’ll go ahead and write a plugin for them. What I’m looking for, is being able to group tables into their own Categories, as in:

    1) Add WordPress Admin menu item: Tablepress | All Tables | Add New Table | Add Table Category [new] | Import a Table … etc.
    2) Add Category dropdown to Add New Table metabox.
    3) Add Category dropdown to All Tables listing, to allow viewing of All Tables, Category 1, Category 2 … etc.
    4) Add Category dropdown to the table edit page, to add or edit the Category for the specific table.
    5) Add Category attribute option to the Tablepress shortcode, to display only the selected tables in the selected Category.
    6) Add Category to the import and export functions.

    Thanks!
    Dave

    Hi Dave!

    Thanks for your question and efforts here!

    While “categories”, “groups”, “tags” or similar are on my list of ideas, this is not yet something where I have found a straightforward way for implementation, so that there’s no specifics on when this might be possible. So, no, this will definitely not be part of TablePress 3.0.

    Sorry for not having better news at this time.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Tobias, Thank you for the reply!!

    I do have an inkling of how to go about doing this as a plugin via your plethora of hooks, so I’ll go ahead and begin working on that with your current Github version. Once you release 3.0, I’ll ensure the Category plugin is compatible, and email you the Zip.

    Thanks again!
