  • Resolved kasljill

    (@kasljill)


    I am having issues with my browser hanging when I am trying to update the information under tools such as the Custom Commands. My browser will cycle and cycle and most of the page is up, but it will now allow me to scroll. I finally am able to choose the option to hide the database, which usually takes another 20 seconds to hide, then I can finally see the options at the bottom of the page.

    My database is approximately 6000 items long and 8 columns wide. All text, no links or images.

    I have attempted this on Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari (all the most updated versions).

    I have also disabled all plugins on WordPress to attempt to fix the issue.

    Please advise. Thank you!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the problems that you are experiencing.

    This simply is a problem with the large size of your table. WP-Table Reloaded isn’t really suited for tables with several thousand rows, for the reason that you are experiencing.

    I wasn’t yet able to implement a better way for showing the table fields (without this problem), and don’t yet have a clue on how to do it, so for now, I’m out of ideas here, unfortunately 🙁 Sorry.

    As a work around, you could try to edit your table in Excel and then, after editing it, uploading the CSV file and replacing the existing table. This won’t help with changing the feature checkbox though, unfortunately.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Tobias,

    Thank you for the quick response.

    Is there a way for you to code it that by default the table is hidden? That would solve 90% of my problem.

    Thank you again for such a great plugin!

    Hi,
    I have exactly tha same problem. I have some 1600 rows. After clicking EDIT in WP-Table Reloaded backend, the browser freezes. But, this is really simple to solve! It would be enough to make a pagination for the EDIT area! In this way, the data would be not too much flushing into browser…

    (and “Save” button should save just the visible part, not the whole table, so there would be no Suhosin problems)

    Hi,

    yes, pagination on the “Edit” screen would be nice, but unfortunately, due to the internal structure and data format in the plugin, this is very very hard to implement in the current code base. It would be very risky to change things there right now, so I’d rather not want to go that route as of now.
    Additionally, as large tables in WP-Table Reloaded can lead to performance problems (again due to the internal data format, which has certain drawbacks (which I didn’t learn until it was too late…)), it might be the best to use a custom PHP/mySQL solution for large tables.

    Regards,
    Tobias
