Hi Peter, a good solution could be to add an additional option to “Data Explorer” > Table > “settings” > “column settings” > “column type”.
As now, we have:
– attachment
– audio
– hyperlink
– ….and we could also have something like “multiple-lines text”.
In this way, when those particular fields are shown in a:
– data project (list view)
– publicationnewlines would be replaced with <BR>
Another (additional) option – maybe available only for PRO users – could be to support some kind of “HTML” column type; in this way, you could add a WYSIWYG editor in the “data-entry” view for those particular fields.
TKS
A.Hi Peter, will this feature be available in premium version?
TKS a lot Peter, the second option works for me!
Maybe you can also consider a special flag for managing this behavior in the next plugin releases 😉
WARNING: I installed the plugin for testing purpose, I didn’t touch any of my publications (I didn’t add any JSON to any “advanced table options”) and… all of them was not visible anymore on my website…
Maybe there’s a kind of incompatibility with the latest version(s) of the WPDA plugin…
Hi Mitchell, I’m interested in testing your plugin 😉
If I understood correctly by reading your documentation, it seems that it works only with “WPDA publications” (not on “WPDA data-projects”), am I right?
BTW, the goal that I want to reach is to show a table, having records ordered in a certain way (not the insertion order) and would like to add a simple “add new record” button on-top of the table.
I think that I could simply use a “WPDA publication” (pointing to a pre-ordered database view) and add the a.m. button on-top of it, by using your plugin.
I’m forced to implement this “trick” because I cannot – in this moment – set a custom ordering in a “WPDA data-project” table.
I would really appreciate a small tutorial to reach the goal that I described, which could be interesting also for other developers.
TKS in advance!
Thank you Peter, in my use-case I don’t need to directly update/insert/delete records “via link”. I just need to bring the (authorized) user to the right data-entry form (the one related to the record that I have to update).
So it seems that I solved… thank you very much!Hi, by analyzing the HTML code generated by the plug-in, it seems that I found a kind of workaround to reach the goal, namely to add the following GET parameters to the URL that I mentioned in my original comment:
&id=<my_table_key_value>&action=edit
Just to recap, it seems that an URL built in the following way, can point to a data-entry form of a specific table row:
<my_website_url>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=<my_page_id>&schema_name=<my_db_schema_name>&table_name=<my_table_name>&id=<my_table_key_value>&action=edit
I hope that this will not be somehow dangerous 😉
