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.

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  • Important: Support for the outdated WordPress 2.7 was dropped (so upgrade to WP 2.9 first!)

Beta test: WP-Table Reloaded 1.6

December 28th, 2009

Not even two weeks have passed since the release of WP-Table Reloaded 1.5. During its development I was already working on several new features that were not yet stable enough to make it into the release, which is why I postponed them to 1.6. Now I believe they are ready for inclusion into the plugin, but as I already did with the previous versions, I’d like to announce a public beta test first.

[Update 2: Just published 1.6-RC1, please use the download below.]
[Update: Just released 1.6-beta2, see the download below.]

Among the new features and enhancements for 1.6 are:

  • feature: Support for “rowspan” and “colspan” in tables
  • feature: WP Search will now also search in tables
  • feature: Possibility to select the plugin language
  • feature: Highlight row (background-color change when hovering)
  • feature: Option to show an “Edit Table” link on the frontend
  • enhancement: select fields for position of name and description
  • internal plugin restructuring
  • dropped support for outdated WordPress 2.7

I already announced the largest two features in my Christmas Surprise blog post.

If you are willing to help and want to take part in the beta test, please download the developer version “1.6-RC1″. I plan to release the plugin in about a week (around the 6th of January).

Note that I dropped support of WordPress 2.7, so you will need WordPress 2.8 or higher to use the new release!

To install it, deactivate your current version, replace the folder “wp-table-reloaded” in your “plugins” folder with the one from the downloaded zip-file and activate the plugin again. Deactivation and Activation are VERY IMPORTANT!

BUT: Please note that this is a beta release. Although I’ve tested it on my site, I do NOT recommend using it on your production site, just yet. As always: Please make sure to have a backup of your files and your database before installing it. Thanks!

If you encounter any bugs, errors or problems, please leave them here as a comment. Feature requests are also welcome, of course.

I would also like all translators to update their translations. There’s .pot-file included in case you need it. After you are done, please email me the *.po and the *.mo file of your language. In any case: Please let me know, if you will be translating the new version or if you can not do it (for whatever reasons). Big thanks to all translators!

Thanks already to all beta-testers and translators! As always: Please don’t hesitate to comment or email me with any questions!

WP-Table Reloaded 1.5 beta test

December 5th, 2009

More than two months after the release of version 1.4, the development of WP-Table Reloaded 1.5 is almost finished.
Among the many new features and enhancements are (might not be complete):

  • added the DataTables JavaScript library with these features:
    • sorting, pagination, filtering, TableTools (Copy to Clipboard, CSV/XLS export, Print)
    • (also added these to the “List Tables” screen)
  • heavily redesigned the “Edit Table” screen
    • Bulk operations for inserting, deleting, …
    • Warning message if changes not yet saved
  • added features to the “Plugin Options”
    • set access requirements (user roles) to the plugin and the Options
    • Change position of the plugin in the admin menu
    • better loading/inclusion of CSS
  • many, many plugin filters and actions for plugin customisation
  • export/import a dump file (with ALL tables/options/settings at once)
  • fixed some minor bugs, errors and glitches
  • optimized and restructured big parts of the code
  • dropped support for outdated WordPress 2.6

There’s more about some of the new features in this development status announcement.

Because of the many new features and to give the translators enough time to translate the many new or changed strings, I again ask you to participate in a public beta test. The current plan is to release WP-Table Reloaded 1.5 before Christmas, but after the release of WordPress 2.9, which also currently is in beta and should be available in the next weeks.

So, if you are willing to help and want to take part in the beta test, please download the developer version “1.5-beta4″.

Note that I dropped support of WordPress 2.6, so you will need WordPress 2.7 or higher (tested up to WP 2.9-beta2) to use the new release! (I did this, because 2.6 is quite old now and required a lot of special attention, because some new functions are not available.)

To install it, deactivate your current version, replace the folder “wp-table-reloaded” in your “plugins” folder with the one from the downloaded zip-file and activate the plugin again. Deactivation and Activation are VERY IMPORTANT!

BUT: Please note that this is a beta release. Although I’ve tested it on my site, I do NOT recommend using it on your production site, just yet. As always: Please make sure to have a backup of your files and your database before installing it. Thanks!

If you encounter any bugs, errors or problems, please leave them here as a comment. Feature requests are also welcome, but will most probably not be implemented in the 1.5-release, but later.

If you are a translator (or if you would like to translate the plugin into your language), please go ahead and do so. There’s .pot-file included in case you need it.
There are very many new strings, because I rephrased some sentences, so that they are (hopefully) easier to understand. But: Don’t panic! You’ll have at least ten days of time for the translation and most probably more!
After you are done, please email me the *.po and the *.mo file of your language. In any case: Please let me know, if you will be translating the new version or if you can not do it (for whatever reasons). Big thanks to all translators!

(By the way: I use the “Codestyling Localization” plugin to translate the plugin to German as it’s quite easy and more comfortable to use than editors like poEdit.)

Thanks already to all beta-testers and translators! As always: Please don’t hesitate to comment or email me with any questions!
