Hi,

I still could not reproduce the issue where adding a table row is not previewed and saved. I also testet it with StoutLogic/acf-builder. @sauliusv: Can you please tell me the OS, the browser and its version you are using?

In general, the preview and save buttons of a page uses only the data previewed in the Gutenberg editors preview. Please watch, if adding a table row is reflecting in the Gutenberg preview. If not, something went wrong.

I fixed an issue in updating the table fields data when changing the cell content in version 1.3.10. @sauliusv: Please download and test this version. Does this version makes a change on your 2) issue?

Hi,

you must change add_shortcode( 'table', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' ); into add_shortcode( 'tablefield', 'shortcode_acf_tablefield' ); and then using [tablefield field-name="my-tablename"] to output a tablefields table.

Cheers,
Johann

Hi,

“Tablepress” uses the shortcode [table] which you may also defined to output the tablefield´s table. If so, all you have to do is renaming the shortcode for outputting the tablefield table like add_shortcode( 'tablefield', … );

Hi,

I made a test, placed a table by ACF blocks in a Gutenberg block and everything worked fine. If I add a row, the Gutenberg preview and the page preview showing that new table row. When I publish/save the page the change is on the page. So this should work.

Sorry, I´m not allowed to ask for hands on in this forum. You could try if the issue appears also on a fresh WordPress installation. If not, the issue may is in the theme or an plugin of your other website. You could try another theme and disable plugins to narrow down that issue.

Cheers,

Hi,

I’m not sure what you trying to do.

If you want to predefine a table when creating a new Custom Posts entry. Then you would have to create the data of a table in the database as post meta for the corresponding table field. To get the table data, you could create and save the table as desired in that custom post, copy the code from the post meta of that table field from the database and use it for your script to create a predefined table.

Or if you want the give a default table, if a table is empty…

$table = get_field( 'your_table_field_name' );

if ( empty ( $table ) ) {

    // defining the data of the default table
    $table = array(
        'header' => array(
            'c' => 'Column 1',
        ),
        'body' => array(
            array( // a column
                array( // a cell of the column
                    'c' => 'Cell Value of Column 1', // the value of the cell
                ),
            ),
        ),
    );

    // output code follows…
    echo '<table border="0">';
    // and so on
}

Cheers,
Johann

Hi again,

if you want to edit a table field outside the WordPress UI, there is no table UI script you could use. That is something, I never thought about it until now.

The current WordPress version 5.3 is required. This is because the user interface has changed in this version and I had to adjust the plugin styles.

If you cannot update WordPress to the latest version now, there is a select field with older versions of the plugin for download at the bottom of the following page https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-table-field/advanced/. May use the plugin version 1.3.8 that should compatible down to WordPress version 5.2.0.

Cheers,
Johann
