    Hi All,

    Hopefully you can look into this: I can make a table with the plugin, but now I want to make a selection first.

    Example: Column1=size column2=price column3=company

    Now I only want to select one size and then get a table of all companies and prices. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I don’t know if I understand everything correctly.

    So you have a big table with the columns “Size”, “Price” and “Company” and several rows with data for this, right?

    Then you show this table on a page somewhere, using the shortcode.

    Now, what do you want to do? If someone selects a size, you only want to rows which have that Size and hide all others?
    How do you want the user to select the size?

    I’m pretty sure this can be done with JavaScript (I do something similiar on this page: http://www.poorpigs.de/baseball/spielplan/saison-2009/ If someone clicks on “(nur Spiele der Poor Pigs anzeigen)”, only rows that contain the word “Poor Pigs” are shown, all others are hidden. That is done with an additional JavaScript (http://www.poorpigs.de/wp-content/mppscripts/spielplan.js).)
    This has nothing to do with the plugin though.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Dear Tobias,

    Thanks for your answer. What I mean is that for example size 1,2,3,4, and 5 exist. I want to get (through a drop down or selection) a menu in whicht I select for example size 2. Then the table appears with all records matching size 2. Hope that is possible as well somehow or you can maybe point me in the right direction.

    Hi,

    ok, now I understand.

    I guess, you have 2 possibilities:
    You could either create one table for each size and show that depending on the selection in the drop down menu, using JavaScript and especially jQuery (www.jquery.com).
    The second possibility is like the one I mentioned above. You create one table and only show the rows needed. This also works with JavaScript. You might want to have a look at the script I linked to above.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Thanks Tobias,

    It is a little more complex I am afraid. I want people to be able to select multiple items (example width in cm and height in cm) and then the correct values should show up. As there are many variations possible, it would not be possible to create tables unfortunaltely. So I assume that were the possibilities?

    I have no knowledge of javascript/coding, but if the above can be done, I would like to outsource this to someone who could do this.

    Hi,

    that sounds complicated. Unfortunately I really can’t help any further, I just don’t know how to do that. Neither do I have the time.

    Sorry. But I wish you could luck with the project!
