Front-end editing

    Hi Tobias,
    sorry but was my first topic, I’m really sorry.
    I want to know if there was a method to chance table content in the front end, (maybe using drop-down menu).
    I’ll try to explain myself better: I would like that users can edit the contents of one or more cells without going into the back-end.
    I thought that maybe they could write the data in the cell and save them from the front-end.
    Thank you again.
    I hope not to have caused you discomfort.
    Gabriele

    Hi Gabriele,

    no, don’t worry, everything is fine 🙂

    Thanks for the more detailed explanation! That makes sense now!

    Unfortunately, I have bad news though. It is not possible to edit tables from the frontend, and it most likely won’t be in the future. The reason for this is that this would bring very complex issues with it, that affect the core internals of how the table data is saved. Therefore, tables can only be edited on the “Edit” screen in the admin area.
    I hope that TablePress is still useful for you.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Tobias,

    Many many thanks for all the work with TablePress and Table Reloaded. I came to ask the same thing but may have a suggestion and I do not know if you want to get together with that plugin’s author to combine this plugin into one GREAT plugin. I would absolutely pay to get that on my web site.

    Here is the link: http://www.rp-citizens.org/property-tax-test/

    That author created an input directed calculator and made it so you could have them on the same row.

    If you could incorporate that into your table, you would step up WordPress to the next level.

    Just a suggestion.

    Hi,

    thanks a lot for your suggestion. The problem here is not so much to add input fields to the table (next to each other), but the communication and safe processing of a editing request. This is currently very hard to implement in TablePress, due to the internal structure, so that I can’t offer solution at this time. Sorry 🙁

    Regards,
    Tobias
