    Hi Tobias,

    I was wondering about the import parameter : would it be possible to “replace” an existing row without erase those which didn’t change ?

    Currently there are two ways to update a specific row :
    – by replacing the whole table, but this implies the csv file contains all the rows
    – by adding a new row so that the old row is not deleted but duplicated (old and new row in the table)

    Example (cause my english might be pretty tough) :

    I have a table with 50 rows and 5 columns.
    I made a csv file which contains only 10 rows (and the same number of columns of course).
    These 10 rows exist in the original table, so I want to update them without deleting the 40 left.

    I want to tell TablePress : all rows imported which match the contents of “column 1” must be updated on all the other columns (i.e. : if the title matches, all data from the row must be updated).

    My problem is that I use several csv files to manage only one table.

    I hope it wasn’t too confusing.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and the thorough explanation.

    Unfortunately, I have bad news: This is not and most likely will not be possible with TablePress.
    Partial updates would simply require too many infrastructural changes and are very hard to implement. And as the benefit is limited, I don’t think that this will make it. Sorry.

    I still hope that TablePress is useful for you!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer.
    No problem, still the best table plugin though 😉
