English plugin page
deutsche Plugin-SeiteVersion 1.4.2a of WP-Table Reloaded has just been made available. Update: I had to append the “a”, because of some problems with the version control system.
The release includes two bugfixes for bugs that should have affected only a few people: The first one fixes some JavaScript errors that users with Internet Explorer 6 or 7 experienced when importing a table (I’m wondering why this hasn’t been reported earlier…). The other bug fixes a problem with the proper escaping of the delimiter when exporting a table in the CSV format.
Finally an additional check was added to make sure that the plugin will not try to use functions from PHP’s “mbstring” library if it is not installed.
You can download the latest release 1.4.2a 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.
Hello Tobias,
Your WP-Table Reloaded plugin is pretty sweet and easy to use. Although, my end goal is to add up the data in one of my table columns and display it as a “Totals” footer row, but I can’t seem to figure it out. In addition, I noticed that there wasn’t an easy way to add a non-sortable footer row. Please let me know if you plan on adding any of those types of features, I can’t imagine I’m the only one needing that!

Hi,
thanks for your questions!
You are right, there is no possibililty to sum up data for a “Totals” value. This is because the plugin is not intended to be a spreadsheet software. Therefore, such a feature will not be added. I encourage you to use (e.g.) Excel to do your calculations and then import that data from a CSV file generated by Excel.
Regarding the second question: This also is not possible currently. The problem more or less is that the used sorting JavaScripts did not support a footer. In the upcoming version 1.5 I’ll switch that JavaScript to “DataTables” from http://www.datatables.net which seems to support footers. Thus, this should be possible in the next version.
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
tolles Plugin, sehr schön umgesetzt!
Ich nutze es gerade testweise und es funktioniert soweit einwandfrei.
Eine Sache ist mir aufgefallen. Die Sortierung funktioniert bei Kommawerten nicht so optimal. Ich habe z.B. den Wert 17,4 und 3,4. Wenn man jetzt sortiert, ist der Wert 3,4 für das System größer als 17,4. Ich müsste 03,4 schreiben, damit die Sortierung korrekt erfolgt. Gibt es hier einen Workaround?
Danke und weiter so!
Felix
Hallo Felix,
danke für deine Frage.
Dieses Problem liegt an der Verwendung des Kommas als Trennzeichen. Das verwendete Sortier-JavaScript (Tablesorter) nimmt dafür standardmäßig den Punkt (.).
Du könntest daher mal versuchen, in den erweiterten Optionen auf die Verwendung von “Tablesorter Extended” umzuschalten. Dieses sollte auch das Komma unterstützen.
Ab der Version 1.5 (irgendwann im November) wird auch das Skript “DataTables” von http://www.datatables.net dazukommen, welches besser mit dem Komma klar kommt.
Bei allen diesen Javascripts gilt jedoch: Ich füge sie nur als Beigabe meinem Plugin hinzu, daher kann ich dafür nur begrenzt Support geben.
Schöne Grüße
Tobias
Hi, thanks for this very useful plugin. Can you give me some solution direction on how to change the text and background colors of all cells at once?
Thanks,
Peter Luit
Hi Peter,
this can be done with CSS. Paste the following code into the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen, with your changes of course:
.wp-table-reloaded td {
color: #ff0000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
If you want to style only certain elements, please see the documentation for more information.
Regards,
Tobias
Hello,
I have some praise, a suggestion and a question… in that order :)
1. First, I just want to congratulate you..
Your plugin is AWESOME! Great work.
2. Second, does your plugin support multiple tables?
(i.e. is there a way to navigate between multiple tables on a single page/post?)
3. Lastly, I have a question…
- In WordPress 2.8.6, I am using your plugin to create a list of videos.
- Each row of data includes a small icon, which launches a YouTube video.
- I am also using Shadowbox-JS to play the videos in a modal window.
- But if the extra DataTables Javascript Feature is ‘enabled’, and a user ’sorts’ the data or uses the pagination buttons, my YouTube movies launch inside the ‘parent window’, instead of inside the Shadowbox ‘modal window’. (i.e. Shadowbox works properly on page 1, but if the users opts to display more than 10 videos, or clicks the pagination, then Shadowbox doesn’t work as expected)
I’m not much of a JavaScript coder… but my guess is that shadowbox.js needs to be called/included by DataTables somehow – in order to work on sub-pages if there is a really long list of data.
But I’m not quite sure HOW, or WHERE to add any additional ’shadowbox’ JavaScript so that it does not interfere with any DataTables scripts.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
Once again. Great work!
Cheers!
Hi Pete,
thanks for your nice comment!
Yes, the plugins does support multiple tables. You just need to put all the relevant Shortcodes into the post.
Regarding Shadoxbox:
The problem here is, that the Shadowbox JS is loaded after the DataTables JS. Depending on the plugin you use for the Shadowbox, there will be a slight modification of the code necessary. In particular you will need to raise the priority of the Shadowbox inclusion in the
wp_enqueue_scriptcall.Regards,
Tobias
Tobias,
Thanks for your advice and taking time to respond.
I’m a real novice when it comes to PHP/JavaScript coding, so forgive my next WP question if it seems silly, but…
Where can this
wp_enqueue_scriptcall be found?Is that in the header.php file? Or somewhere else?
I’ve really tried to figure this out on my own, but I am a bit lost/confused.
Btw, If it helps any… I am using the latest version of the Shadowbox-JS plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shadowbox-js/
Just need a bit of code/instruction, whenever you have a free moment, if possible.
Best,

Hi Pete,
the
wp_enqueue_scriptcall is in the Shadowbox-JS plugin files. I found it in the file “frontend.php” in the “inc” subfolder. Unfortunately there are several calls, so I’m not yet sure which one needs to be changed. For that, I need to actually see it used on a table, so it would be good, if you could email me the URL to the page with your table that is not working.BTW: I tried to answer you be email, but the addess does not exist?!
Regards,
Tobias
Oh, sorry about that. I made a typo when I entered my email.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, btw.
Hey Tobias,
Just want to thank you for your valuable time and effort.
Your solution worked like a charm.
You responded to my questions above and resolved all the issues I encountered.
Well Done!
And to anyone reading this who is considering using WP-Table Reloaded…
- EXCELLENT PLUGIN.
- EXCELLENT SUPPORT.
- EASY-TO-USE / INSTALL.
Probably one of the VERY best plugins I have ever used for WordPress / MU.
Thanks again.
Kudos,
