    Hi Tobias,
    Love your work. My clients love your work. It enables them to manage their own content without dev help. Bad for me but excellent for clients.

    I am writing a site where we have documents being stored in WordPress. It’s part of a larger site and so Regions, have information including events and documents.

    I want to have a table of documents in the region summary page. As the users add new documents that should show in the documents display table in the region summary page.

    I have written a class that takes a couple of parameters, grabs the Document custom Post Type and converts it to an array of data. I was then turning that into static HTML / Bootstrap tables. However I would rather use a product like DataTables. I was looking into this when I was made aware your product is actually Data Tables in the back end.

    All the tables TablePress tables seem to be preformatted, not live tables.

    Is there anyway to use Live data with TablePress? I know you can import in json ,csv etc, but would rather feed it live data. I can take the data array, convert to CSV but I am hoping not to re-invent the wheel and do my own DataTables implementation in WordPress.

    Have you ever thought about a TablePress live data version?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I don’t have plans for a “live data” version of TablePress, sorry.

    In your scenario, it sounds as if you really only need to add the DataTables JS library on the frontend, as you already build the HTML code. That’s just a few lines of JS, so I would recommend to take that route.

    Regards,
    Tobias
