Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the response.

1> the table on the page linked above, namely
https://www.gurufundpicks.com/13f-4q2-spr
does not sort well, as it is driven by WP-Tables. Try clicking on, e.g., the fourth column, End-of-Qtr…., and you will what I mean. It sorts # as text, so putting it in an order like this, 93 then 954 then 83 then 7001 when sorting descending.

2> On Responsiveness of the table, the fix in the Extension cited above will not work for me as my columns are varied in width. How I would like it is that — if a mobile device was detected, it still kept the ‘hard’ column widths I have specified, but just made it necessary for the user to scroll to get more information in the right-most columns — if that makes sense.

Thanks.

Hi, Tobias:

If you remember, we have corresponded before about this. Basically, I am using both WP-Tables and TablePress on my website, as neither can alone handle the large number of tables. Per your instruction, I had put custom CSS in WP-Tables Reloaded so that it would be overridden by the TablePress CSS.

All worked fine I thought, but I recently noticed that the numeric sorting does not work for the tables that are generated by WP-Tables. That was done using the WP-Table Reloaded Extensions, again per your guidance. I believe what may be happening is that WP-Tables has not received the instruction from the extension. Is there a way to make that extension (or another way to do the same thing) work also for the WP-Tables generated tables.

Also, I noticed that the tables do not display well on mobile devices
e.g.,
https://www.gurufundpicks.com/13f-4q2-spr
as the numbers flow out of the columns.

Is there a way to fix that too? i.e., is there a set of instructions to mobilize the content in the TablePress (and WP-Tables Extension) plugins?

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Hi Tobias,

The problem is with both plugins, I believe.

While I mentioned the DataTables double header problem, the TheThe Sliding Panel plugin also had a problem with displaying the floating login – as it displayed broken up with 1.8.4, but displayed well with 1.7.3.

I will notify the TheTheSliding Panel guys about the issue. Would you mind, since your plugin uses DataTables, to notify those people. If not, let me know, I will gladly do it (I just think you have a better understanding to communicate the issue).

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Hi,

Okay solved it, FYI.

Went to jquery version 1.7 instead of 1.8.4, and that solved it. You can see it here

Hi,

Just looked into it more, and it does that only for some of my tables (but 200+ of them), so the only difference between the ones it does that above error (two headers on clicking sort) is when
“Enable horizontal scrolling…” is checked in DataTables JavaScript Library features.

When I turn off that feature, the headers no longer duplicate. However, in my case, the info then flows into the sidebar.
Here, are the two tables,
one with horizontal scrolling checked
https://www.gurufundpicks.com/indrpt-sample-hld
one with horizontal scrolling not checked
https://www.gurufundpicks.com/indrpt-sample-hld2

So, it is somehow tied to that. Let me know if there is an easy workaround, else I will just concatenate the info in the last column.

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Hi,

Just to add,

if you go to the bottom of the table, it also adds a huge blank space (like a footer) to the bottom of the table after clicking on the sort arrows.

Thanks,

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the direction. You were right on.

I found that TheThe Sliding Panels had the old jquery by turning off plugins one by one. I changed the reference to the proper 1.8.3 from 1.6.4, and the sorting works as you can see from this link
https://www.gurufundpicks.com/indrpt-sample-hld

However, another problem has cropped up, that I am guessing you may have a remedy from within TablePress. If you click on the column headings, you will see that, yes, it sorts properly now, but it duplicates the top row twice.

Thanks,

Manish

Hi,

I just activated the extension, so you can see the issue – basically all columns sorting is turned off.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Great! That is good news.

Thanks, Tobias, for addressing this limitation. It makes TablePress an even better plugin. And now maybe I won’t have to break-out my data between TablePress and WP-Tables.

My host will be testing this on the installation soon.

Hi,

That worked in TablePress. Thanks.

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Hi, Tobias,

Thanks,

That was going to involve some work, moving/swapping tables between the two, so I wanted to do it only after confirming that there wasn’t something else (a setting or something) that I was unaware of.

Ganaxi

I forgot to add that this is in WP-Tables, and as far as I can tell all of the other tables >1000 rows are all in TablePress

Done. Surprising, but I had donated, but not reviewed the plugin. So thanks for the reminder.

Hi Tobias,

That worked great.

Thanks,

Ganaxi

Hi Tobias,

As they say,
third time’s the charm.

Thanks,
