    Hello,
    Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve searched, really, and I don’t find any solution so you now see me with my question and I hope you will be able to help me.
    So, I would like to use Tablepress to show all people in my company sorted by business unit (I’ve searched also a lot and it’s the best way I’ve found for that).
    At the moment, I have my table with about 80 rows and 2 columns (2 peoples on each row) shown this way (- is to show that I change of column) :

    Business Unit 1
    People 1 – People 2
    People 3 – People 4

    Business Unit 2
    People 1 – People 2
    People 3 – People 4

    I’m trying to set TablePress in such a way that when my visitor arrive in the page where the table is, he only see, at the beginning :
    Business Unit 1
    Business Unit 2

    But, when he clicks on Business Unit 1, peoples are shown :

    Business Unit 1
    People 1 – People 2
    People 3 – People 4

    Business Unit 2

    He clicks again on Business Unit 1 and we go back to :

    Business Unit 1
    Business Unit 2

    My questions are :
    Is it possible ?
    How to do that ?

    If you could explain me as if I was really stupid, it would be really great.

    Thanks a lot for your time.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    For this, something like the TablePress Row Details Extension that is described at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-expand-tablepress-row?replies=24#post-4187213 might be worth checking out.

    Regards,

    Hello Tobias,
    Thanks a lot for your reply but I don’t really understand how to use it 🙁 (shame on me)

    As an example, I have at the moment my business units in rows 1, 3 and 5, peoples in rows 2, 4, 6 and 7.

    I’ve seen the modified short code [table id=1 datatables_row_details=true datatables_row_details_columns=”A” /] but I don’t know how to set row 1 to command row 2, row 3 to command row 4 and row 5 to command rows 6 and 7…

    I’m really sorry :'(

    Thanks again

    Emmanuel

    Hi,

    you will basically have to change your table’s structure for this. I suggest to start with a test table (like the demo table on the TablePress website) and play with that, to see how this works.

    Tobias,

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    I’ve found a solution in a different way.
    So, if someone else wants to do the same, here’s requirements :
    Wordpress (of course)
    TablePress
    Collapse-O-Matic
    I will have to do one table for each business unit with only peoples and then, in my page, write a line [expand title=”Business Unit 1″][table id=1 /][/expand] for each BU.
    This way, if I don’t click on anything, I have only business units names and I can expand/collapse to see which people are in them.
