[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] "Please Wait, Table Loading" message for large Tables

    Tobias,

    I have a large table with about 1000 rows and it can take 7-10 seconds for the page to display on a slow connection. This means there is a noticeable delay between clicking the navigation button and when you see the new page in you browser window.

    I’m looking for ways to improve the user experience on these pages. For example, is there a way to get part of the page to display before the table starts to load?

    What I’d like to do is display a message like “Please wait while your table is loading” so the end user knows that something is happening in the background and the page isn’t broken.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,

    unfortunately, I don’t see a way for this with, that can be easily implemented. Browsers usually start rendering tables only after everything is loaded.
    To circumvent this, you will indeed need to load only parts. The DataTables JS library (www.datatables.net) can do this, but not directly with WP-Table Reloaded. Instead, it requires custom programming in the background.

    Regards,
    Tobias
