In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting mixed data columnHi Tobias,
Thank you again for all the help. I’ll play around with the hidden column suggestion over the next few days and I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks and have a good day.

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting mixed data columnHello Tobias,
Thank you for your answer. Sorry for the delay in responding.
I’ve been playing with the data in the columns. I’ve found that in the “mixed-data” cells, if numbers appear before letters, the sort will be OK. But if it is the other way around, the sort will be a mess.
Also, in some columns (but not all), a blank cell will also confuse the sort so it is necessary to put something into the cell.
You have helped me so much, thank you. One more question…. Is there any way of putting an “invisible” 0 (number) into the table, in front of a letter, so that the sort will be correct? For example, in the “Hours” column, I would like to put an invisible 0 in front of the word NEW…. visible only to the computer but not to humans. 🙂 🙂
This would also work in the “REF.” column (column 1) because at the moment, the sort begins with 1000 instead of the lowest number which is 877.
Thank you again,

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting mixed data columnHi Tobias,
OK. I have reinstalled the Row Details extension.
The column 3 is behaving perfectly but perhaps that is because of the “order”: [[3,”asc”]] command.
The other columns are still not sorting correctly.
If this is too much of a problem for you, I will just have to disable sorting for the other columns, except for column 3. It was handy though to be able to sort by voltage, Hz, Fuel etc., so if you have any other ideas, I’ll be grateful to hear them. 🙂
Thank you for all your help.

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting mixed data columnHi Tobias,
Thank you for the ongoing assistance.
To install the Extension, do I have to Deactivate and Delete the original “Row Details” extension?
I have tried to upload and install the new version but the install fails because “the directory already exists”.
Thanks again,

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting mixed data columnHi Tobias,
Thank you for your very quick response.
I have done as you suggested and the sorting is still not working correctly. It is the same as it was before.
Please can you explain why your code has the “targets” as 1, 3, 7, 11? Do you count the visible columns or also the invisible columns?
Sorry to give you such a complicated problem. 🙂

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting issueTobias…. final message!
I deactivated the “Omnisearch” setting in Jetpack and everything works fine in Firefox again.
There is perhaps some kind of disconnect between the Jetpack Omnisearch, Firefox search and your Plugin search?
Anyway, everything is OK now. Sorry to have troubled you.

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting issueTobias Hello again,
Re the Firefox not displaying correctly…. (further to my message of a few minutes ago).
As soon as I deactivate Jetpack, the problem disappears in Firefox and everything looks as it should again.
The main reason I would like to have Jetpack activated is that the tables display properly on a mobile device. Without Jetpack, the tables are cut-off to the same width as the mobile device. They do not scroll horizontally.
Can you suggest a fix?
Thank you again

In reply to: [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy] Sorting issueTobias Hello,
Sorry to bother you….
Today I updated your plugin and my tables now do not work correctly in Firefox. Everything appears fine in Chrome and IE.
In Firefox, the search box has disappeared, the columns will no longer sort (no little up/down arrows next to column name) and the “Tablepress Extension: Row Details) is no longer working.
I’m sorry to trouble you but can you suggest what the problem can possibly be?
This page shows the issue. It loads fine in IE and Chrome but not in Firefox.

Thank you for your assistance,
MaritaHi Tobias,
Thank you for the news. I have updated to version 1.1.1 and everything is working perfectly.
You work so quickly! Very nice for those of us who are using your plugins.
I have rated the plugin and also donated to show appreciation for your efforts.
Best Regards,
MartaHi Tobias,
I’m glad that you have identified the problem and that you will be able to fix it.
I’ll watch out for the 1.1.1 update.
Best Regards,
MartaHi Tobias,
Thank you for the update. I’ll try and roll back to the previous version until you update the plugin.
I hope that the fix will not be too time-consuming for you.
Best Regards,

Thank you, as always,
MartaHello Tobias,
Yes, your last piece of code has worked just fine. I had already looked for a method for reducing the width of the column with the “+” image, but I did not know how to formulate the instruction.
Thank you for all your help. Your support is excellent.
Regards,
MartaTobias thank you!
I can see how the following bit of code has improved the sorting up/down arrows by bringing them in a bit. That’s great!
#content .tablepress th {
padding-right: 20px;
}Also, the following code has done exactly what I asked you about. It has hidden the “extra content” column during page loading. That’s also great!
.tablepress-id-1 .column-11 {
display: none;
}I don’t understand the need for removing the following bit of code. I prefer to have that column at 40px. Leaving the code in place does not seem to affect the “fix” that you provided for the “extra content” column visibility. Everything is fine even if I leave it as it is. Am I missing something?
.tablepress-id-1 .column-1 {
width: 40px !important;
text-align: center;
}Thank you again for taking the time to educate those of us who are not so talented at programming. I will make a donation to show my appreciation of your efforts.
Regards,
Marta
