deutsche Plugin-SeiteDevelopment continues and I’m proud to announce the immediate availability of WP-Table Reloaded 1.2.
The automatic update should be available through your WordPress admin area shortly. Remember: In case you’re upgrading from a version smaller then 1.1, please make a backup of your CSS stylesheet first.
There were a few bugs fixed, but those shouldn’t have affected a lot of people as they occured in rare occasions only.
But the list of new features is a little longer:
- new button “Table” in the toolbar of the HTML-editor to easily include a table (without having to know the Shortcode) into a post/page
- Bulk actions: Copying, Deleting and Importing (from wp-Table) several tables at the same time
- new parameters for the Shortcode to change settings when displaying a table
- (This includes a possibility for easier usage of different column widths, showing only certain parts of a table and all table-specific settings that are accessible in the backend.)
- added Template Tag function (with all possibilities the Shortcode has) to enable you to show a table in places where Shortcodes don’t work (e.g. if your theme is not widget-ready, or in the footer)
- table data is sortable in the backend
- new import/export class for CSV
There also were some changes “under the hood”, which should make the plugin more robust and bring a higher performance. For example, the inclusion of the Tablesorter plugin was optimized, so that it’s now only loaded if there really is a table using it on the page. Also, all JavaScript is loaded in the page footer (where possible) for faster page loading.
For the complete list of fixed or implemented issues, have a look at the issue tracker on Google Code.
Additionally, most of the translations were updated and Czech was added as a new available language. (French, Spanish and Turkish are not yet updated, but will be as soon as I receive the translations.)
As promised in earlier versions, I have written a Documentation (that includes more technical details) than the plugin page, especially regarding the Shortcode, the Template Tag function, Import/Export, CSS styling or the Tablesorter.
You can download the latest release 1.2 from the plugin’s page or from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
If you like the plugin, I’d be very happy if you would rate it in the WordPress Plugin Directory. You also might consider a donation or have a look at my Amazon wishlist. This will encourage me to further develop the plugin and keep giving countless hours of support. Thank you!
If you experience any trouble, find bugs or have feature requests, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the means mentioned in the support section. Please make sure to carefully read the plugin’s page as well as the Documentation.
I hope you enjoy the new release!
I just upgraded from previous version, but the new version could not activate after upgrade, fatal error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting T_FUNCTION in W:\blog\tjopp\wp-content\plugins\wp-table-reloaded\wp-table-reloaded-admin.php on line 1610
Hi Tobias
Great plugin – Thanks
I have seen the same issue that Johan reported, however it occurs only when my server is running php5. The issue does not occur if I switch to php4.
I was able to use the previous version of the plugin with no difference between using php4 or php5 so it looks like this is a new issue introduced with v1.2.
Thanks, great and useful plugin

Hi Tobias,
Maybe you can help me ;-)
Im searching for a plugin like wp-Table (for my little webshop) but where I can attach a picture/thumb to every textline. Is it possible to do that with WP-Table Reloaded?
Regards
Jesper from Denmark
Hi,
You can easily add a picture/thumbnail into a table. You can either put the appropriate HTML <img src=”…” /> into a cell (if you don’t know HTML, there’s a button below the table which will lead you trough it by asking for the URL and the title of the image).
You can also put in images via CSS. The CSS classes you can use are described in the documentation.

Several problems.
1.) “Insert Row” regularly “eats” any data entered into the row being “pushed down”.
2.) Can’t see the Table button in the editor.
3.) Table header is not working and no alternate row colour.
Can’t live with (3), but apart from that, it works OK.
Hi Orfeus,
you should read http://www.wptavern.com/how-to-ask-for-support (and provide a valid email address). Thanks.
Regarding your questions:
1.) This happens if you don’t “Update Changes” before inserting a row. (This might change in future versions with the help the AJAX.)
2.) You don’t say which editor you use. Currently the “Table” button is only visible in the HTML editor (as stated on the plugin page).
3.) To have this enabled you need to have the CSS from Example File 1 included.

Hi Tobias,
Thank you for the improvements since wp-Table. These are great. One feature that I would like to have (although I don’t know if it would be possible) would be to add the ability to total (a sum function or a sql query or something)
For example if you have number values in a column and you want a total.
Keep up the good work.

Hi,
thanks again to everybody who reported this issue!
The bug was finally discoverd by Alex Rabe in this forum thread.
It is fixed in release 1.2.1.
Thanks to everybody!
Tobias
Very nice,
Would love to see the ability to add shortcodes inside the tables cells.
Hi,
I’m actually planning to enable this in the next version. But this might take some time as I’m busy with other stuff. Till then, you can add the feature manually: Change line 186 from
$cell_content = $this->safe_output( $cell_content );to$cell_content = $this->safe_output( do_shortcode( $cell_content ) );Tobias
Thanks! Helps a lot!
