[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded]

    This is a great plugin – thanks very much for creating it!

    I’m hoping you can help me make a couple of mods to fit our needs. We’re an elementary school running a dozen sites through WPMU and we want to create sign up sheets using tables. Currently, an author will create a table, create a post, and insert the table into the post using the short code. I would like to allow a subscriber to edit the table, not necessarily the post, and only the Table Contents, so I need to hide the Table Info, Data Manipulation, Table Styling Options and DataTables JavaScript Features.

    Any pointers on how or where to make these mods would be appreciated.

    Also, I’m trying to move Table ReLoaded from the Tools section to the Posts section using the Admin menu entry setting under plugin options but when I update the options I get an “Cannot load wp-table-reloaded.” error.

    Lastly, any chance of adding an “insert table shortcode” button to the visual editor toolbar? We run other plugins that do this and each has it’s own short code syntax so the feature is incredibly useful, especially for the occasional user.

    Hi,

    that’s likely a server configuration issue, e.g. with the PHP memory limit not sufficient.
    Unfortunately I don’t know a real solution.
    For now, just install the plugin manually, by unziping the archive and uploading it to your server via FTP.
    That will definitely work.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    This thread has inspired me to consider building a table where the public can add web sites that they recommend to a particular topic. like a WIKI.

    “… to allow access to the table separate from the post? In other words, when a table is inserted in to a post can I set it up so a Subscriber can edit table content but not the post content?..”

    Is this easy for me to set up?

    Hi Brian,

    no, sorry, that is not easy to set up. The minimum level would be “Contributor” and not “Subscriber”. However, you might be able to achieve the same with that role.
    Just set the “Plugin Access” level in the WP-Table Reloaded “Plugin Options” to “Contributor”. They can edit (and add, delete, export, and import) tables then. (So, it might not be a good idea due to that.)
    “Contributors” are not allowed to edit existing posts, so you should not have to worry about edited post content then.

    So as a conclusion, I’d actually recommend setting up a real wiki for your plans then, as you will have all benefits it gives then.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    I changed the “PlugIn Access” to “Contributor” but I am not sure what the difference is.

    One last question.

    Could I have anybody in the public be allowed to add information to a table. That is, an editable table that is open to the public that
    functions like a regular Posts Comment section. “Leave a Reply” but they would leave it in one of your tables.

    I quote stacie [member] earlier in this thread

    “..Currently, an author will create a table, create a post, and insert the table into the post using the short code. I would like to allow a subscriber to edit the table, not necessarily the post..”

    I was thinking that instead of allowing a subscriber to edit the table, anybody could edit it.

    where a comment section is organized like a table in a post

    Hi Brian,

    by changing the “Plugin Access” to “Contributor”, every user who is registered to your site, logged in and has that role can now access the plugin and edit tables.

    Editing a table without being logged in or in a similar form to a post comment is not possible.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
