Hide rows that contain inactive shortcode

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I think I understand what you mean, but unfortunately, I don’t really see a good way to achieve this.
The best that I can think of would be to modify the TablePress Row Filter Extension to parse Shortcodes already once before the filtering. Then, instead of returning an empty value in your custom Shortcode, that should return some “keyword”. You can then filter out all rows that do not contain that keyword and only show those, via the filter_inverse Shortcode parameter of the Row Filter Extension.

Hi,

right now, this is expected, because your Shortcodes are evaluated after filtering.
You could try running the Shortcodes earlier. For that, change the line 169 of the Extension’s PHP file from

$found = array();

to

// Run Shortcodes early.
foreach ( $row as &$cell_content ) {
  $cell_content = do_shortcode( $cell_content );
}
unset( $cell_content );

$found = array();

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

Hi,

I’m really sorry, but I don’t know a way for that 🙁 Filtering for actual empty values is not possible, because those are “everywhere” (even “inside” other values).

Hi,

that could be an approach, but the problem is that there’s a check in the PHP code:

// Early exit, if no or an empty "filter" parameter is given.
if ( empty( $render_options['filter'] ) ) {
	return $table;
}

This also includes empty text… You could however try to modify the default values:
Change line 54 to

$default_atts['filter'] = false;

and line 99 to

if ( false === $render_options['filter'] ) {

After that, an empty filter term in the Shortcode (filter="" and filter_full_cell_match=true) should be possible. I haven’t tested this though.
