Add table in another plugin instead of theme’s functions?

    Is it possible to create the link from another plugin as opposed to the theme’s functions.php file?

    I’m trying to avoid hardcoding changes in a theme where the user may change themes (thus making a child theme irrelevant as well).

    I’m writing a custom plugin, and would love to be able to create the table link from there instead of the theme’s functions.php

    The theme file is merely the suggested call site to add_db_table_editor. You can call that function anywhere after it is defined and you can put the resulting data-table on any page you want (there is a shortcode [dbte id=my-table] or echo dbte_shortcode(Array("id"=>"my-table"))). Perhaps make use of the “plugins_loaded” action.

    Cheers,

    Thanks! I actually got there before I saw your reply — I was getting an error when I tried it, but then I realized it was because of the way i was adding the db table prefix. Got it resovled by doing this (for anyone else with the same question / issue):

    function  add_budget_number_table_editor() {
  global $wpdb;
  $table = $wpdb->prefix.'budget_numbers';
  add_db_table_editor(array( 'title'=>'Budget Numbers', 'table'=>$table, 'sql'=>"SELECT * FROM ".$table." ORDER BY id DESC" ));
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', ' add_budget_number_table_editor');
