Title: Request: Auto Table Import Extension – Allow Javascript Last modified: April 3, 2020 --- # Request: Auto Table Import Extension – Allow Javascript * Resolved [Rick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rferrall/) * (@rferrall) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/) * I apologize if this isn’t the right location, but seemed the best option. * The Automatic Periodic Table Import extension, it does not import the onclick part of a link or button. Specifically, something like this: * `` It’s just missing when auto-imported, but shows up when importing the same file manually. * If possible to do this, it would probably be useful to some people to have this functionality. * Thanks.

Unprivileged users are given less access rights by WordPress, and stronger security checks are applied. For example, WordPress only allows them to add content with a very limited subset of HTML tags, for security purposes. This is why your JS code is stripped during the import. I just don’t know how to change this without endangering the security of the site here, sorry 🙁 * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [Rick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rferrall/) * (@rferrall) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12630486) * That makes sense. * Thank you for the quick response and years of support on this great plugin. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12631791) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 * Best wishes, Tobias * [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/) * (@pampam95) * [5 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12646169) * Hi Tobias, * I work on a project and I wanted your opinion to know if your plugin and extension“ tablepress talbe auto update” can work for me. * I have a script which update in my FTP a csv file (delete and create new csv file) with the same name (TableTempMethodePlus15.csv) on this same path : /var/ www/pampam.tdgt.org/www/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/tab/TableTempMethodePlus15. csv * I tested this: * I imported this csv as a table in tablepress (file on server) with the path :/ var/www/pampam.tdgt.org/www/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/tab/TableTempMethodePlus15. csv * In “Auto Import Tables”, for my tab “tableau.csv”, I selected “Auto Import”, Source Type : File on server, Perfor Auto Update : 15min, source : /var/www/ pampam.tdgt.org/www/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/tab/TableTempMethodePlus15. csv * After this import, I modified some datas in the CSV to see if 15 minutes later, my modifications have beeen update on my tab, and it is not and I have no date on “Last Update” * You can see this on these screenshots : [https://gyazo.com/c58051a289710780d660dc30f0a9be61](https://gyazo.com/c58051a289710780d660dc30f0a9be61) [https://gyazo.com/7b95e5c52baeb7c0f500b6d93eca5d06](https://gyazo.com/7b95e5c52baeb7c0f500b6d93eca5d06) * I hope you will understand my problem, please let me know if my need is possible with your awsome plugin and extension. * Best regards. - This reply was modified 5 years, 12 months ago by [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/). * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [5 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12647478) * Hi, * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. * Most likely, there’s something not working with the WP Cron system on your site. These cron jobs require active site visitors (as these are triggering them in the background). So, for example caching plugins can cause problems here, and testing this will often not work on development sites (because there are not visitors). One idea (if the server and the service plan with the web host company supports them) is to use a real server cronjob, which can be more stable. The setup is slightly different for each company, but here’s a fairly common set up guide: [https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/setup-cron-job.htm](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/setup-cron-job.htm) * Also, you can try to use plugins like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/core-control/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/core-control/) or [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-cron-control/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-cron-control/) to fix issues with the cron system. * Regards, Tobias * [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/) * (@pampam95) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12764195) * Hi Tobias, thanks for your return, WP Cron was the problem, I disabled it and I confifured an external Cron on my linux. * I have on other question for you, as I said, I imported csv file as table in tablepress. * This table is now updated everyday. * Is it possible with tablepress to highlight with a color some lines in my table with conditions without having datas in base? * Example, I have two columns in my table, and I want to hightlight every lines where value in column 1 is equal to “2” and value in column 2 is equal to “2”? * highlight means color the lines in blue for example * Thanks for return. * Regards. - This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/). * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12764256) * Hi, * to some degree, you can highlight rows by their value, see this approach: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value/) Unfortunately, this can’t really do conditions like “column 1 AND column 2”. * Regards, Tobias * [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/) * (@pampam95) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12764367) * Thanks for return, I have to understand that its impossible with tablepress to make conditions ? Here, I want to highlight row 1 if 2 equal 2, I think you already understood but it’s to be sure :p COLUMN1 COLUMN2 TEAM 1 2 2 * TEAM2 3 1 * Do you have an alternative ?

Only if you have conditions that take into account multiple columns, that’s not directly possible. * Regards, Tobias * [pampam95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pampam95/) * (@pampam95) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12773648) * Hi Tobias, I find a solution to my precedent trouble to keep using your plugin. * Did you already reduce a tablepress table ? * I have 20 table on my page and I want to let the possibility to users to reduce the tables they want to. * If you have a code for that it will be great, I will make you a donation if you can help me on that. * Best regards. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-auto-table-import-extension-allow-javascript/#post-12774123) * Hi, * I’m not sure what you mean with “reduce” here.
