Simple Table Manager

By Ryo Inoue, with contributions by lorro from v1.3

Description

Simple Table Manager enables editing table records and exporting them to CSV files through a minimal database interface from your dashboard.

  • Simply CRUD table contents on your wp-admin screen
  • Search and sort table records
  • No knowledge of MySQL or PHP required
  • Export table records to a CSV file
  • Does not allow users to change the structure of the table

Unlike ‘full featured’ database management plugins, it does not allow users to alter the structure of the table but requires no knowledge on MySQL or PHP.

Similar to CakePHP’s scaffold feature, Simple Table Manager is an auxiliary tool suited for the initial development phase of a website. It is also ideal when you want to ask someone else with no database expertise to keep track of table records on your website. This was the motivation for developing this plugin.

FAQ

How can I add a new table or field by using the plugin?

You cannot. Please use ‘full featured’ plugins or phpMyAdmin if you need full access to the database.

Reviews

Great for non-techy admin to maintain data.

September 3, 2016
As advertised, this plugin is great for a non-techy admin to create and edit data, and I recommended the plugin for this purpose. I used phpMyAdmin to setup the table and then used the plugin to create the initial set of records. There are no display facilities with the plugin so I a used a bit of custom code. Only 2 lines are needed to fetch the data into a php function: global $wpdb; $results = $wpdb->get_results( 'SELECT * FROM wp_mytable', ARRAY_N ); The plugin will allow access to only one table at a time, but its easy to switch between tables. Thanks for sharing.
