Thank you for another great review. I agree with your assessment that it's confusing at first but after a bit, it becomes more straightforward. I appreciate your going over adding dynamic data, that was very helpful.

I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you, David! Always helpful reviews and demos from you! I'm curious if you know of a way to do the following: when using the "wp-posts" table, and using a custom post type and fields, do you know if there's a way in Ninja Tables to define a condition or meta query to show only related children of the current single post? Example: Parent post type = Clients. Child post type = Appointments. When you go to a Client details page (single post), I want to show a table of only the Appointments that are related to that Client. Basically, I want to have a dynamic condition or query dynamicallly, to check that the current post ID (dynamic) is equal to the ID of the related Client in the Appointment stable. I'm having trouble figuring this out with Ninja Tables and wondering if you know of a way or some sort of work-around. Thanks SO much.

That is a good idea, but I couldn't find any documentation to suggestion how it might be done.

That's awesome. Congrats.

How would you add a dynamic row number? For ratings... something like position number? When sorting, I'd like it to be dynamic, like a number for position of each row in each sorting result.

Maybe with JavaScript?

You really saved the day. A very frustrating one... Thank you. Could you please let me know which "Books" plugin you are using? I am trying to make an almost identical table with the one you are working on here, with almost the same functions. Although I am still not familiar with ACF and don't really know how you linked the external website to the button. My goal is to link an internal Post (Book Display Page) to it. Edit: Oof... never imagined it would be so complex to add an internal Post link button in a table cell..... And no, I haven't managed to succeed yet....

I created it using Advanced Custom Fields as shown in the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJ56pGaWJo0.html. Today ACF includes the features that CPT-UI has, so you don't need that plugin and can do it all with ACF.

@@DavidMcCan Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will watch it right now as I have a deadline in two days, so I won't sleep till I get this right. I really don't understand why it is so diffcult to create a simple button that links to an internal post though.... Every tutorial I watched so far needs something extra besides the Ninja plugin... Maybe I am missing something due to the lack of sleep... I thought this would be a very basic and easy thing to do... I mean it was pretty straight forward in TablePress...

@@utube_itube_everybodytubes - Use ACF free and create a field group and add a URL field to it. Assign the field group to show on the edit screen for the post type that you are making the table for. On the post edit screen fill in the URL with where you want the button to go. Then when you create a table, add a button, and pick for the link the URL field you created with ACF. I hope this helps.

@@DavidMcCan I apologize for using your time like this, but yes you are being extra helpful and I appreciate it. I have created the Custom Field and it is now appearing in the Post edit screen. I am now trying to figure out the rest. Like, I already have a table and a button, and I am currently looking at a new empty post (which I will populate later with the book presentation), but I am not sure if I need to enter the url of the post I am creating into the (custom) URL field. I am trying to understand the logic so I can move on to the table button linking step. Again I apologize if I am confusing you. I haven't slept at all...

@utube_itube_everybodytubes Год назад

@@DavidMcCan It looks like that did it after all. I have to enter the post url in the custom url field, effectively linking it to itself. I am now in the process of creating the rest of the custom fields needed in order to populate all the columns of the table. I can't even find the words to thank you for all your help, so the least I could do was to subscribe. I hope our little dialogue helps someone else in the future.

hello Search Is it possible to hide WeChat if it is not needed? Like an Excel program Can I merge cell A and cell B? It's burdensome because it's not a drag and drop method, but isn't it difficult?

@DavidMcCan 9 месяцев назад

Yes, you can write "macro" type of rules for individual cells. You can also use CSS.

I found I can build more complicated tables using JetEngine Table Builder from Crocoblock. The only downside is lack of the responsive layout for Mobiles and Tablets. I just bought Ninjia Tables Pro yesterday, but found it is like an old product from 10 years ago. It is not modern at all, especially the way to style tables. I can't utilize advanced dynamic meta data, can't filter output, can't add custom callbacks to the field fiter. The only good thing I like is its responsive layout.
