Maintenance release: WP-Table Reloaded 1.6.1

January 30th, 2010


Thanks to some great feedback of several plugin users, I was able to fix some bugs and add a few enhancements to WP-Table Reloaded 1.6.1, which is now available.

Changes include:

  • enhancement: let WP Search also search table name and description
  • enhancement: replacing a table during an import will leave options untouched and only replace table data
  • bugfix: better fix for DataTables invisibility issue in IE 7
  • enhancement: add 3 new plugin filters for frontend
  • bugfix: fix for problem with search, if data is empty somehow

Your WordPress will offer an automatic update to the latest version soon. Otherwise, you can download WP-Table Reloaded 1.6.1 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 might also 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. A lot of questions are already answered in the Frequently Asked Questions section.

Extension 3: Changing the Table Shortcode

January 23rd, 2010

My second Extension to WP-Table Reloaded was actually pretty short and simple, so I decided to present another short one to make up for that :-) So, here you will see how you can change the used Shortcode from [table id=1 /] to e.g. [data id=1 /] or [ranking id=1 /].

To get started with WP-Table Reloaded Extensions, you should read the introduction and follow the included instructions. You will also find links to the other presented Extensions there.

Extension 2: Custom Name in the Admin Menu

January 16th, 2010

In my second post of the series on WP-Table Reloaded Extensions, I will show you a way to change the name of the plugin in the WP Admin Menu.

Remember, Extensions are small code snippets that customize or extend the functionality of WP-Table Reloaded, by using the many “Plugin Hooks”. To get started, you should read the introduction on WP-Table Reloaded Extensions and follow the included instructions to set up the foundation. I also recommend reading the first post of this series, where I add an Automatic Converter for URLs to Links. You don’t need the code from there, but it might be helpful to better understand the concept.

WP-Table Reloaded 1.6: Cool new features

January 8th, 2010


Just a few weeks after WP-Table Reloaded 1.5, a new version is out. The automatic update for WP-Table Reloaded 1.6 should be available in your WordPress admin area shortly.

To start the New Year with a bang, there are a few great new features, that I know a lot of people have been waiting for:

  • Support for combining cells with “rowspan” and “colspan”
  • The WP Search will now also search and find search terms in tables.
  • Possibility to select the plugin language, independent from the rest of WordPress
  • Row Highlighting (change the background-color when hovering a row with the mouse)
  • Option to show an “Edit Table” link on the frontend for logged-in users
  • Select the position of table name and description (i.e. where it is printed)
  • huge internal plugin restructuring for easier development in the future
  • fixed a few smaller bugs (for IE users, in row hiding, and HTML validation)
  • Important: Support for the outdated WordPress 2.7 was dropped (so upgrade to WP 2.9 first!)
