you need to use full PHP code, like:

(Maybe you did, I can’t tell, because WordPress stripped your first code snippet.)
If you did actually type that, it is possible that your server prevents text fields from having that content. If that is the case, you might try importing a pre-filled table.

while there is no theoretical limit on the number of rows, I had to learn that there is one in practice: For each table cell, a text input field is shown on the table’s “Edit” screen. The more rows you have, the more text fields are necessary. Now, as it has happened, many such text fields will slow down a web browser significantly, making it hard to work on a table’s data.

Therefore, if you have the chance to use a SQL solution, I would recommend that for large tables. You can then still include all of the frontend features that the plugin offers, simply by manually using the JavaScript libraries.

Then, I put the following php code
[stripped]

into a cell to pull a custom field out of a post and all it did was print this in the cell box:

echo get('ProjectTitle'); ?>

Did I miss something here or screw it up? Any thoughts?

My overall goal is to have a table on a page that will pull in the custom fields out of posts (using flutter to create custom fields in the admin part of the post). You then could click on that project (a link) to go to the actual post which would give more information on the project.

Does that make sense? Any thoughts or help in pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance. Love the plugin by the way. Very useful.

Great plugin. I’m debating whether to use it for a rather large table (700 rows or so). The alternative is to develop an SQL database for this project (which I’m not too skilled at). Are there any practical limits/considerations to how large a table can be for this plugin?

Thanks

I’m just getting into your plugin and its looking really good. Question for you: When I import a file from Excel instead of getting the table, I just get garbage. I know I’m missing something pretty here, but what?

P.S.: It works great, when I cut and paste the same Excel table into the blank form (manual method).

Thanks all.

this very likely happens because the Excel file is in some other “character encoding”, which messes up the import library. When you use the manual method, that character encoding is changed/neglected, and therefore the import works.
Unfortunately I don’t have a solution to that, so I can only recommend to keep using the manual method for importing files.

Best wishes,
Tobias

you can do that with a WP-Table Reloaded Extension, see http://tobias.baethge.com/2010/02/extension-5-how-to-use-php-in-table-cells/.

Thanks for the plugin – it’s great, however is there a way for me to embed some PHP cpde into a cell and have it executed at run time? When I try it seems to just show the straight output?
