## Description

Simple Table Manager enables editing table records and exporting them to CSV files
through a minimal database interface from your dashboard.

 * Simply CRUD table contents on your wp-admin screen
 * Search and sort table records
 * No knowledge of MySQL or PHP required
 * Export table records to a CSV file
 * Does not allow users to create tables or change the structure of the table

Simple Table Manager is a tool suited for the initial development phase of a website.
It is ideal when you want to ask someone else with no database expertise to keep
track of table records on your website. This was the motivation for developing this
plugin.

Note that to comply with wordpress.org plugin security guidelines, edited and added
record fields are filtered through wp_kses_post() to prevent sql injection attacks.
In some cases, wanted tags may be filtered out leading to field corruption.

      if( 'wppb_options' == $current_table ) {
        if( 'option_value' == $column_name ) {
          if( 7 == $key_value ) {
            if( $field_value ) {
              $field_value = "true";
            } else {
              $field_value = "false";
            }
          }

      if( 'wppb_options' == $current_table ) {
        if( 'option_value' == $column_name ) {
          $column_name = urlencode( $column_name );
          if( $field_value ) {
            $field_html = '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="1" checked> Yes<br>';
            $field_html .= '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="0"> No';

          }

          if( 7 == $key_value ) {
            $checked = $field_value ? 'checked' : '';
            $field_html = '<input type="hidden" name="'.$column_name.'" value="0">'.PHP_EOL;
            $field_html .= '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$column_name.'" value="1" '.$checked.'>'.PHP_EOL;
          }
        }
      }
      return $field_html;
    }
    ```

## FAQ

### How can I add a new table or field by using the plugin?

You can’t. Use ‘full featured’ plugins or phpMyAdmin if you need full access to 
the database.

### 󠀁[Great for non-techy admin to maintain data.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-non-techy-admin-to-maintain-data/)󠁿

 [Peter Lawrenson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lorro/) septembre 3, 2016

As advertised, this plugin is great for a non-techy admin to create and edit data,
and I recommended the plugin for this purpose. I used phpMyAdmin to setup the table
and then used the plugin to create the initial set of records. There are no display
facilities with the plugin so I a used a bit of custom code. Only 2 lines are needed
to fetch the data into a php function: global $wpdb; $results = $wpdb->get_results('
SELECT * FROM wp_mytable', ARRAY_N ); The plugin will allow access to only one table
at a time, but its easy to switch between tables. Thanks for sharing.
