# Using WP_List_Table in shortcode?

 * First off, compliments on this plugin.
    I’ve used it successfully for my own 
   plugin.
 * Now I would like to extend my plugin with some shortcodes.
    One of the features
   I would like to implement is to show a wp_list_table on a post or page. The user
   must be logged in to be able to edit a record. Don’t know yet whether the user
   also needs to be logged in to be able to see the table contents, but that is 
   not that hard to cover ;-).
 * Any help appreciated.

 * Did you get this working? I have spent a lot of time recently working WP_List_Table
   and would be glad to help you out if you still need it.

 * Hai,
 * Thanks for the offer.
    And I didn’t get it working, maybe because I hadn’t spend
   time on it yet (busy with other priorities). My question is probably the same
   as on this request “[use-within-functionsphp-for-themes](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-within-functionsphp-for-themes?replies=1)“.
 * If you have an example on how to use WP_List_Table in a post or page, I would
   be very much obliged.
 * Maybe the first question would be whether it is possible at all as the documentation
   only mentions a usage on the admin pages?
