Title: jQuery DataTables Last modified: February 24, 2025 --- # jQuery DataTables * Resolved [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/) * (@johanselbing) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/) * Where can I find the Advanced Settings for jQuery DataTables? The [documentation](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables-advanced-features/advanced-settings/) only shows the location of the old WPDA version.

I’m learning hooks and it seems like an easier option than to use the old legacy builder, but I’m running into some problems of how to implement it for a specific case. * What I’m trying to do involves breaking up the user interface a bit, with a WordPress front-end with a single “Project edit” page containing a simple sidebar listing the names from a table **projects**, and next to it a data administration app for a row in the table **projects** + below a chart table with a list of all costs for the project. When clicking on a row in the sidebar, the data administration app jumps to edit that project and lists the costs of the project. So, basically I want to connect three apps on the same page with each other. * My idea is to set up the sidebar as an app that uses a hook to link **projects. name** to the “Edit project” page with a PHP query containing **projects.id**. Possibly I could get the query with the Code Manager app, but how do I then pass** projects.id** to the shortcodes of the apps? Or are there simpler solutions? - This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/). * Thread Starter [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/) * (@johanselbing) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18329129) * Or could I use hooks in one table to navigate and filter another table on the same page? * Plugin Contributor [Kim L](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimmyx/) * (@kimmyx) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18330200) * Hi [@johanselbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/), * I’ve forwarded your use case to Peter to see if it’s possible with hooks. * I’ll let you know once I receive a feedback from him. 🙏 * We appreciate your patience! * Plugin Author [Passionate Programmer Peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterschulznl/) * (@peterschulznl) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18331343) * Hi [@johanselbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/) * You can combine several apps into a single data app. A demo is available here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/app-demos/app-classic-models/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/app-demos/app-classic-models/) * Relationships can also be added to a data entry form, giving the user access to several detail tables from within the form. Using the link I provided above, you can observe this behavior in action. Click the hamburger menu, choose Customers, and edit one of the customers that appears. * It is not yet possible to call another app from a hook, but it is planned. Form hooks will be included in the upcoming update. We can then begin adding a feature that allows us to call apps from hooks. * Does this help? * Best regards, Peter * Thread Starter [johans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/) * (@johanselbing) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18333459) * Thanks Peter, I built a fully operational database with different relationships between tables with the new App builder, and it works really well! * But for the front-end it seems some features are not fully implemented or at least not documented. For example, I found out I can use filters on the _wpda\ _app_ shortcode, which is great. If I create an app for the table **projects**, is there any way I can use a _wpda\_app_ shortcode for the app to jump directly to the edit page of a specific row in the table, instead of listing all the rows? * Plugin Contributor [Kim L](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimmyx/) * (@kimmyx) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18334482) * Hi [@johanselbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/), * Thanks for the response. * Shortcode parameters are mainly used as filters, so they can’t directly open a row’s form view. * You can read more about the shortcode parameters here: [Shortcode parameters | WP Data Access](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/table-builder-filters/shortcode-parameters/) * Have you tried modal forms in your data administration apps? It might work a bit for your use case. * Here’s a demo: [https://share.zight.com/Apuo2Bky](https://share.zight.com/Apuo2Bky) * Hope that helps!

Anyway, thanks for now. * Plugin Contributor [Kim L](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimmyx/) * (@kimmyx) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-datatables/#post-18338058) * Hi [@johanselbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanselbing/), * Thanks for the response! * Peter is still developing form hooks so it might be possible in the future as development progresses. * Let’s keep our fingers crossed. 😁 * Let us know if you have other questions!
