You don’t need any configuration and once installed, it is ready to use. Simply add the shortcode `[dbtable]` into an article or a page and you will have a nice and clean table. ### Examples: All parameters that contain more than one value have to be separated by commas without spaces. Minimum needed : `[dbtable from=MysqlTableName]` * `select=field1,field2,field3` will display all rows of the table and only specified fields * `except=field1,field2,field3` will display all rows of the table except specified fields * `cssClass=class1,class2` will add class1 and class2 to the class attribut of the table * `comments=true|(false)` true will use comments specified in each field of the MySql table as datatable column names. If true and if a comment is missing, the plugin fallback on field name only for the one missing, not for the entire table. * `pagination=true|(false)` will show/hide the bottom pagination links. If false, make sure you have the limit parameter large enough to display all your datas * `limit=25` Display 25 rows by default. ## Installation #### From your WordPress dashboard * Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’ * Search for ‘DbTable to DataTable’ * Activate DbTable to DataTable from your Plugins page. * That’s it! #### From WordPress.org * Download DbTable to DataTable. * Upload the ‘DbTable2DataTable’ directory to your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory, using your favorite method (ftp, sftp, scp, etc…) * Activate ‘DbTable to DataTable’ from your Plugins page. * That’s it ! ## FAQ How do I change default values? You can edit the main `dbTable2dataTable.php` file and change these values : ``` $this->defaults = array( 'from' => null, // Mysql source table 'select' => null, // Select specific columns 'except' => null, // Ignore specific columns 'cssclass' => null, // Specify custom CSS class for the 'comments' => false, // Use field comments instead of column name 'pagination' => false, // Enable / Disable pagination 'limit' => 25, // Limit of results per page 'width' => '100', // Set width in % of the table 'language' => 'English' // Default language : French ); ``` What the `comments` attribut does? By default, column names will be the field name (e.g: product_id, custom_field). But if you want to have custom/pretty names you should modify your table and add comments to the fields (e.g : `ALTER TABLE product CHANGE product_id product_id INT( 11 ) COMMENT 'Product ID'` Why can’t I display datas from a WordPress Table ? This plugin is not intended to display WordPress datas. I blocked this for security reasons. It aims to give you the ability to show custom datas from custom tables. I had to extract informations from an ERP and display them. How can I force the plugin to shows WP tables ? You can remove the security check `line 58` by deleting `or substr($atts['from'], 0,strlen($wpdb->prefix)) === $wpdb->prefix` Why the language doesn’t change? You probably misstyped the language name. Make sure you write it exactly with the correct name. Refer to : https://www.datatables.net/plug-ins/i18n/ E.g for french : `//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.10/i18n/French.json` , the parameter will be `French` with the first letter in uppercase. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f0f5553efa2fd9fd2865693ee69119452ec8c5976cb92d7ae13f1f04d907a0bc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-12026/)󠁿 [franmoracr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/franmoracr/) septembre 13, 2020 Great plugin very easy to use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/15be2600265c6916f9e7bf68b87debb11b60e156ce3b45eca4bda5908f0c80a1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[CSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-123/)󠁿 [haloya090984](https://profiles.wordpress.org/haloya090984/) septembre 3, 2016 how to change css? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/961cf8c865840f941c2d457699632dfe8ef792384a3930f76d5fd9515dd22ee3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great !!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-4490/)󠁿 [mrphung](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrphung/) septembre 3, 2016 It’s great !!!!!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4f556acb3f8ed803a31ad66633b42a17997563fe5f4bce6de9abcdb9e93c8c89? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice job](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-job-113/)󠁿 [63ck0](https://profiles.wordpress.org/63ck0/) septembre 3, 2016 Simple and effective, do the job.
