    Hi Tobias,

    Thank you for you wonderful plugin and for your dedication to answering these support questions. I apologise in advance if my question has been asked before. I’ve searched the forum and documentation but couldn’t find a definitive answer.

    My question is, are there equivalent shortcode and/or Template Tag Function parameters for the “Show N rows per page” and “Enable horizontal scrolling” options which are found in the DataTables options on the table edit screen?

    Kind regards,
    David.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, you can set these via the Shortcode parameters:

    [table id=123 datatables_scrollx=true datatables_lengthchange=false /]

    Set these to true or false as desired. This will then override the settings from this table’s “Edit” screen.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hello again,

    Thanks for your super quick response.

    The datatables_scrollx parameter is new to me, so thanks for explaining that. However, the datatables_lengthchange I’m already familiar with as it controls the visibility of the number of rows select field on the front end. What I’m enquiring about is the “Show X rows per page” option which is part of the “Pagination” option on the back-end.

    Kind regards,
    David.

    Hi David,

    so do you want to turn off Pagination or do you want to set a different number of visible rows via the Shortcode?
    The parameters for that would be

    datatables_paginate=false

    and

    datatables_paginate_entries=20

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Yes, I want to set a different number of visible rows via the Shortcode. The datatables_paginate_entries parameter is working for me. Thanks! 🙂

    Is this in the documentation somewhere? I’m just looking here: https://tablepress.org/documentation/ … under The Shortcode toggle and can’t see it.

    Kind regards,
    David.

    Hi,

    good to hear that this helped! And yes, good catch… It’s missing in the documentation right now. Thanks for letting me know!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
