Questions about your plugin

    I’ve been testing your plugin for a while and have some questions:

    1. Is it possible to show/hide columns depending on other column value? Suppose I have a drop-down list column, is it possible to hide other columns from the same table depending on this drop-down list column?
    2. Is it possible to create a radio button, similar to checkbox but excluding other options?
    3. I’ve built parent/child related tables. When I create a project and add pages, some of this child tables must have a unique row for its parent table. How can I limit inserting rows to a table?
    4. Is it possible to create default text to be inserted when creating a new row in a table? If so, can different users create their own default text?

    Hi @txeteweb,

    I’m not a WPDA team, just an enthusiatic user, (looking fot lookup ideas..).

    To the best of my knowledge, (at least in free version)

    1. Is it possible to show/hide columns depending on other column value? No
    2. Is it possible to create a radio button, similar to checkbox but excluding other options? No
    3. I’ve built parent/child related tables. When I create a project and add pages (??), some of this child tables must have a unique row for its parent table. How can I limit inserting rows to a table? Usually, a Parent Child: 1:1 means…one table is enough 😉
    4. Is it possible to create default text to be inserted when creating a new row in a table? If so, can different users create their own default text? YES, in the table definition (ie, WPDA Designer)

    Hi @txeteweb,

    Thanks for your questions! And thank you @measy for the assist!

    Your questions 1-3 have been answered already, and I will add more information for #4.

    You can set default values when designing and creating your table in Data Designer. For an overview, please check here: https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-designer/basic-mode/

    Hope this helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

    Thanks measy and Kim for your answers.

    About question 3: I don’t mean that I want to limit parent/child relationship to 1:1, I’d like to set a row limit on a table. Is this possible?

    Hi all,

    Please allow me to jump in here and correct some answers… 😉

    Is it possible to show/hide columns depending on other column value! For Data Tables this is documented here:
    https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables-advanced-features/advanced-settings/
    Please scroll down to: Revised JavaScript example

    You can do the same with Data Projects using hooks and filters as dodumented here:
    https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/hooks-and-filters/hooks-and-filters/

    Is it also possible to add a radio buttons to Data Projects and manipulate the value using javascript shortcodes via the Code Manager. Please be aware that input fields are not supported for Data Tables. They are only available within Data Projects.

    You can set a row limit on a table by using views. This works with Data Tables. In Data Projects this results in non updateable tables. You can use dynamic hyperlinks to add your own custom links. That works as well.

    Hope this helps,
    Peter
