    Hello Msimpson.
    You are rock! Yuor plugin works amazingly and I have question about it. What about formation of tables (i mean posts and pages with [cfdb-table] tag) under request? How user may form request with values in submissions table he wants to see. I.e. I have a table with thousand rows, visitor on the page may type in form(s) keyword(s) and get rows from my table containing the keyword. In other words in the tag [cfdb-table form="your-form" filter="field1=value1&&field2!=value2"]he may change filter settings: fields and values? I sure this feature will be very popular!
    Next. I use one of DB backup plusins but still can not find one that may make daily backup of selected table in DB (just one), it makes backup of all tables. May you recommend me such plugin or add this feature in next release?
    Thank you for your great work!

    Thank you.

    On the FAQ page, look for the section on “Filter Variable Substitution: Using HTTP GET, POST and COOKIE variables”.

    This describes how you can use a form or URL parameter such as
    http://mywordpress.com/?p=85&email=joe@nowhere.com
    where that page contains
    [cfdb-table form="your-form" filter="contact_email=$GET(email)"]
    so that the table is filtered on that parameter.

    Similarly, you could craft an HTML form in which the user inputs data then posts to the page to see the table filtered accordingly.

    Alternatively, you can also look into wrapping the table in JQuery DataTables so that you can dynamically filter the table on the page. This is something I have on my list to explore and try to ensure it is well supported. But I haven’t started yet.

    Regarding DB backups, I’m not knowledgeable about such plugins, so I can’t be of much help to you.

    I cranked out updates today to include DataTable support via new shortcode [cfdb-datatable]. Look for version 1.6.

    i read you asked for translation. I may help you with russian and ukranian versions.

    Plugin Author Michael Simpson

    (@msimpson)

    Yes please! Do you know what to do? Look in the languages subdir of the plugin. There is a README.txt and the .pot file there.

    I’m planning to put up a website with a place to upload the translation files. I’ll see if I can get that up soon. In the mean time you can email them to me.

    Thanks!

    Hello Michael!
    The russian version is ready and already tested on my blog! It works!
    I sent po and mo files to michael_d_simpson(at)gmail.com and got them back because The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.
    Which email should i send translations to?

    Try uploading them to the form on this page:
    http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=7

    Thanks!

    done!

    Got it, thanks.

    Are you able to do Ukranian as well?

    Thread Starter avmcsmu

    (@avmcsmu)

    Yup. Already uploaded to cfdbplugin.com. (po and mo files).
    PS I have ukranian translation for datatable (ua.json file). Russian one is already exists. How to upload it?
    thanks

    Plugin Author Michael Simpson

    (@msimpson)

    According to my language code reference, Ukranian is supposed to be “uk” and there is such a file in the distribution. Am I missing something?

    I threw up this page to upload such files: http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=62

    Thanks for your kind assistance!

    yes, you are right. it’s my mistake. The correct code is uk_UA.
