wpDataTables ver. 1.2

Latest update: 30.08.2013
New in this version:

• New style customization features. No more CSS tweaking, you can choose the colors and fonts in the plugin settings!
  
• Preview feature. Now you can preview from the admin panel any table that you prepare before you insert in the post or page.
  
• Better Excel files processing. The Excel file load procedure has been rewritten. Now it won’t crash on bigger files (if your server resources allow that), and will work a little bit faster. Though still it will take a while for big files to load, and the pages where you put the files will open slowly, so for big datasets consider MySQL tables.
• A sandbox demo site. I’ve set up a demo site, with a demo admin panel access, where you can try how the plugin works before you buy it. The site, and the uploaded files are flushed once an hour, but still – please don’t misbehave, or I will have to close it.

  The WP-admin panel is here: http://themes.karaliki.ru/wdt_demo/wp-admin/. Login and password: demo / demo

• No-shortcode table including. If your theme, or some plugins have problems with the shortcodes, or you would like to re-use one table in all pages of some template, you can include it by a PHP function call in the template file like this: <?php echo wdt_output_table( $table_id ) >
• Better error handling. No more mystic silence when something goes wrong with the table generation. If an error happens on the server side you will get a nice dialog with info about the error, and possible solutions where applicable.
  
• Row hover feature. Many users asked for it, so we added a feature to highlight a row on hover.
• Better interaction with user. Nice preloaders added and default JS alerts replaced with nice-looking jQuery UI dialogs.
• Server-side processing bugs fixed – no multi-filtering does not cause problems, also some minor bugs fixed.
• Zero-length fatal error cured – won’t bother you anymore.
• Uninstall errors fixed. I hope you won’t have to say goodbye to the plugin, but still for these who have to uninstall the fatal errors have been fixed.

For more info on what’s new and changelog you can see this page.

Update procedure: Disable plugin, overwrite with files from the new package, enable plugin again. This is necessary since the database structure has to be updated on reactivation.

Features

A short list of wpDataTables features:

• Cute interactive multi-functional front-end jQuery tables with filtering, sorting and pagination features rendered by DataTables jQuery plugin. You can manipulate all features easily from the WordPress admin panel. The initial javascript is compilated by PHP and then executed in your browser.
• Advanced front-end table features: print view, save to PDF, save to CSV, save to Excel, Copy to clipboard by TableTools DataTables plugin.
• Different column types: strings, integer, float, date, URL links, e-mail links, images.
• Column reordering, hiding, specifying different headers and other “runtime” tweaks.
• Fixed headers and fixed columns feature based on modified FixedHeader DataTables plugin. For high, and wide tables, table header and chosen amount of columns “stick” to the window border when you scroll the table – analog of Excel’s “Freeze Pane” feature. See live example.
• Row grouping based on Row Grouping DataTables plugin. If a lot of rows have same values of some column you can group them based on the value of this column. The sorting will be performed inside of these groups. See live example.
