Trouble accessing Array Params

    Hello,

    I’m forced to use array params with plug-in wpDataTables and while it’s working fine for the grid, I’m not able to get the parameter values to display on the page. I’ve tried a couple of ways to no avail. I’ve also tried with single and double quotes…

    Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

    This shortcode:
    [ifurlparam param="wdt_column_filter"]Filtered for: [urlparam param="wdt_column_filter%5BSubmittedByName%5D"][/ifurlparam]

    Results in this output:

    Leads filtered for:

    This shortcode:
    [ifurlparam param="wdt_column_filter"]Filtered for: [urlparam param="wdt_column_filter[SubmittedByName]"][/ifurlparam]

    Results in this output:

    Leads filtered for: “]

    Thanks!
    John

    John, WordPress isn’t going to like you putting shortcode style brackets inside of the quotes as it’ll try and process [SubmitedByName] as a shortcode which it isn’t. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that you’ll be able to work with array params the way you’re hoping! 🙁

    John, did you ever find a work-around for displaying array parameters with the plug-in wpDataTables? I am trying to do the exact same thing and running into the same problems you were having. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi rmorats,

    My solution was to replicate the array params I needed as their own param. The array had an ID and a name (amongst other data) I needed to access, so I coded them into their own individual params. This meant there was a replication of data in the string, but this was acceptable for our purposes.

    So I ended up with:

    [ifurlparam param=”pSubmittedByName”]Filtered for: [urlparam param=”pSubmittedByName”][/ifurlparam]

    I hope it helps!

    Best,
    John
