[Plugins: Search by category] - any way to show results in table (3 posts)

    I am using the wp table reloded plugin (great plugin) and i am also using the search by category plugin which is another great plugin. Right now i am using the WP-table reloaded to organize and display all of my posts and i am organizing them by title, author, date...etc. I am also using the search by category plugin which is working really well but i was wondering if it is possible to somehow modify that plugin so that the search results would appear in the table. WP tables reloaded already has a search function which does this but that search function doesn't allow users to specify which category to search and it also doesn't search through the body of the posts. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me on this. Thank You!

    Hi,

    no, unfortunately, that is not possible. WP-Table Reloaded can only show static data that was either added manually or imported from a file.

    However, from what I understand, you might be able to achieve this with some programming. You would need to change how the output of the category plugin is created, and let it print HTML code for a table. You can then add the search/paging functionality that WP-Table Reloaded adds to tables by manually adding it, using the DataTables JavaScript library from http://www.datatables.net.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
