    Hi,

    I have just installed TablePress to implement a table which can include user data such as first name, last name, and work position etc…

    I have just tried to use php code as shown below, but it doesn’t work.

    <?php $user_info = get_userdata(1);
    echo ‘Username: ‘ . $user_info->user_login . “\n”;
    echo ‘User level: ‘ . $user_info->user_level . “\n”;
    echo ‘User ID: ‘ . $user_info->ID . “\n”;
    ?>

    I think there should be an easy way of doing this be taking advantage of all nice TablePress features.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    The reason for this is that PHP code does not work in table cells by default. You can however enable PHP in table cells by installing a small “TablePress Extension” (see https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions/blob/master/tablepress-php-in-tables/tablepress-php-in-tables.php ).

    However, I’m not really sure that the approach of using TablePress for this a good one. Unless you really need an editable table, it might be easier to just use PHP (for example in a WordPress Page Template) to print the HTML code for a table, filled with your user data, to the page. You could then (if you want this) add the sorting/filter/pagination features, by manually loading the DataTables JavaScript library from http://www.datatables.net (which is the same JS library that TablePress uses for these features) into the page.

    Regards,
    Tobias
