There was a nice anniversary last week: A little bit over one year ago, the first version of WP-Table Reloaded was released in the WordPress Plugin Repository.
Since then, the plugin has steadily received attention and has become very popular:
- over 85000 downloads
- about 90 ratings
- with an average rating of 96.4%
- 14 available translations
- over 1300 comments on this website
- almost 200 threads in the WordPress Support Forums
- countless emails with questions, suggestions, ideas, bugs, feedback, and praise
At this point, the first birthday of WP-Table Reloaded, I’d like to say THANK YOU to everybody in the community who made this possible. This includes (I hope I don’t forget anyone :-) ) the users, the supporters, the code contributors, the beta-testers, the bug reporters, the translators, and especially the people who donated or sent me a gift. Thank you all very much!

A few weeks ago, I was approached with a question on whether it is possible to make the textfields on the “Edit” screen of a table wider, to allow for an easier editing of long text. As this might also interest other people, I decided to publish the solution as a WP-Table Reloaded Extension.

As I have done with previous versions in the past, there is now a public beta test of WP-Table Reloaded 1.7. The list of features is not as big as it was for 1.5 or for 1.6, but altogether I really like them and decided to make them available now.

Some people have approached me with an idea like this one: They have a rather large table which they maintain as a list for some sort of items (e.g. products). On certain pages however, they do not want to show the entire table, but e.g. only items with a certain keyword in a column.
That’s the use case for which the following filtering extension can be used. It adds another parameter filter to the Shortcode that gets passed one or more search terms (connected with a logical operator):
[table id=1 filter="word1&&word2" /]
Then, only those rows of the table are shown, that have columns that exactly match the search term(s). In the example, only rows where one column has the exact value “word1″ and one column has the exact value “word2″, will be shown.
