Hey Joerg,

That’s awesome, I’d love to have you as a contributor/validator. I visited that website and I’m confused as to what to do 😛 How do I approve you work?

Also thanks for pointing that website out for me, someone else had mentioned it earlier but I didn’t know what they were talking about. 😀 This helps big time

Hey Joerg,

“I also have an issue with assigning borders. It is not working as expected and is taking not all borders or even get stuck with “Doing calculations, please wait..””

Hmmm, this is interesting thanks for bringing this up. Does the right click -> borders method work? Can you try right clicking a cell, setting a border and then saving the table? I feel like I saw this as an issue brought up on handsontable github, i’ll try and see if I can find a fix for it.

“The color picker is not displaying entirely I can hardly see the HEX color box to enter the corresponding HEX value.

I’m getting the following errors:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) (jqColorPicker.js.map, line 0)”

Yes the colorpicker is not loading in properly. Maybe another plugin is interfering with mine, if they already tried to load the same file globally or something? Do you have any plugins active that you think may be effecting my plugin? I’ll try to reproduce this issue but I havent come across this yet, it may be a singular issue.

But I found that the import seems to fail as my CSV had the following formatting:

I’ll have to try this out, I haven’t tried using “” around values for csv, but I can see how it may cause an issue, if the first letter/char is a “, it might be escaping out of the json file :/ Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will add this to the list of things I need to fix 😀

However the German umlauts are shown as � and not as expected!

Yeah, the rendered doesn’t know about extra characters from other languages. Since I don’t speak other languages i’m not really sure how I would account for these extra characters. My keyboard/computer only supports english. Maybe there is a encoding method for strings, I’ll research this and get back to you.

Oh and the table/post preview is also not working for me…

You can only use the shortcode to see the table. Each table is a custom post type but it does not have post/page abilities/functions. The way to see/test tables would be to insert the shortcode on a page or post. I will hide that button so it doesn’t confuse users. Thanks for the feedback.

😀 I hope this helps, if you have any other questions or issues i’d love to hear em. I’m working on another update which will introduce formulas(hopefully) and a handful of bug fixes.

Thanks again for the suggestions and feedback, I will do my best to fix these issues up asap.

That’s a neat idea 😛 It can be done, I’m not going to say no but it will probably take some time developing it properly because there has to be a lot of moving cell around. I will take a look at it though as I think it would be a good addition to the plugin.

As for German translations, that would be awesome! Thank you for offering. Someone else already mentioned German translations but I think they may be busy on other things and I don’t want to bug them about it 😛 If you send me the translations I’d be happy to have you as a contributor to the plugin.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll let you know an ETA for this feature, I just want to try it out and see how it would work out. Let me know if you have any questions at all, i’d be happy to help.

John

Awesome! I’m really glad you like the plugin, I’m already working on a few fixes and new features to improve the plugin like graphs/duplicating tables/border colors/border width and possibly some extra styles for the table as a whole like box shadow and stuff. If there are any features you think would be a good addition, I’d love to hear em.

Thank you for the kinds words, suggestions and feedback I really do appreciate it.

John

Hi Greg,

I just released an update to the plugin. If you’re still using the old one I recommend updating. The new editor should be much easier to use I’m hoping and also the saving issue should be gone now. If there are any issues or problems that arise please let me know and I will do my best to help fix it.

Thanks
John

Hey Bitpicker,

Glad to hear the saving works now 😛 Thank you for the kinds words and the 5* rating!

As for the color picker, yes that method is a little odd. The way it works currently is the color will select (and apply) the the current selected cell(s). Its kind of hard to explain but if you click somewhere on the body to close the color picker (not on the cells) then the current selected cells will use color selected. Its weird yes, I will change this in a hotfix to make it so you have to click “apply” button. Thank you for this suggestion it will definitely cure a few headaches for others 🙂

For the hiding column and stacking columns to work, extra options need to be set on the table. I guess I was being careless and didn’t explain this fully on the plugin. The stacking columns will turn your rows into block content once the size of the table get below the set breakpoint (default 500), try to shrink your browser and see if the table changes. It doesn’t work well with every table, so it really depends on the table you have for it to be a good option.

The hiding is a little bit more tricky but it is the best choice out of the 3 options. You have to select manually which columns need to be hidden and at which breakpoints. I will make a video explaining this further and upload it sometime tomorrow since its a lot more difficult trying to explain it in written format.

Thanks again for the review, suggestions and feedback! If there is anything else you feel should be changed or needs fixing I’d love to hear em.

John

Hey Bitpicker,

First of all thank you for using(trying to use) my plugin 😛 I’m currently working tirelessly to update the plugin. Unfortunately due to school and work, the only times I have available to work on the plugin is late at night. Needless to say it has been a slow process but it is coming along great. By the end of the weekend I’m hoping to have the update ready for release. I only need to incorporate a few more options such as an extra method of responsiveness, filtering, and pagination.

I’m going to challenge myself and shoot for an update on Sunday, if I don’t get it out by then please yell at me.

Thanks again for using my plugin, if you have any further questions/comments/suggestions id be happy to hear them.

John

Hi sme,

I’m no longer supporting v3 as update v4 is right around the corner. This issue is solved in the new update which will be released very very soon(hoping).

Thank you for your patience and understanding

John
