Presales question please. Can I replicate this (except the months) with this plugin add-on and can I add hyperlinks?

https://care2serve.com.au/event-list/

Hello there.

Sorry for the delay.

We don’t see anything related to data tables or filters on that site. Can you please explain in more detail, and check your link – is what you’re looking to achieve still available there?

You can add hyperlinks in wpDataTables, yes, and you can filter the entries in the table, but the Powerful Filters only allow you to use cascade filtering and to hide the table before filtering is applied.

Kind regards.

Dear Respected Author,

Thanks for your awesome work :)

We need your kind guidance and really hope that your plugin could help us and our fellow businesses.

We are mostly in Spare Parts, like Laptop, Computers and mobiles.

We face many issues, facing currently and Will try to explain it.

There is one part like SPARE-PART-A (ex.15.6” Screen) is suitable for almost 500 different model Laptops(ex. Dell 3542, HP 650, Asus Vivobook).

and we have likewise around 10 SPARE-PARTS-X (Screen, Battery, Charger), and this same spare parts are suitable for many Laptops.

What we want is to, when user comes to website, he should have option to select the BRAND LIKE … ASUS, DELL, HP and then he could CHOOSE MODEL … Like Dell Vostro, HP Pavilion, etc and then the respective Spare part could shown to customers.

And even, we want the products to separate list in organically in Google, so that if a user searched SPARE-PARTS-A for Dell Vostro, then it could launch same LANDING PAGE with all SEO.

I hope I’m able to explain, what we need.

For more clarity, I would like to share of example website, for you and pls check …

https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/brand/Dell/ Here you can see, when customer selects DELL Brand, there is landing page with all series, and then after click on the series, the model list comes, and after that final magic happens, the user is shown with DYNAMICALLY GENERATED PRODUCT PAGE with Dell SCREEN for Particular SERIES, and also Particular MODEL is generated on the fly and even we search on google, this page is automatically created and shown to user, https://www.maxbhi.com/searchmodel.html?brand_id=6271&ptid= Here you can see, when user selects the MOBILE BRAND the Landing page shown with MODEL of that BRAND, and then comes complete list of all MODELs and finally the list is shown with spare parts which are all compatible to that model.

This is very must needed, as we have 10,000s of models of laptops, and around 7-12 spare parts of all models, but mostly the 7-12 spare parts are same of most models, so listing them is not possible for all models, each. Instead it should generate dynamically.

I really hope and got some positive vibes, that your great work in form of plugin could really help us and our allies.

So humble request you to kindly help us.

Thank you again :)

PS

Hello there. Thank you for reaching out to us.

There’s no way to create these entries in an automated way. Just like the laptopscreen.com site, you could create a page where brands are displayed, then on that page, create another page where the models are displayed, and so on.

The last page, with all the details, could contain a wpDataTable. Another option would be to use the Master-Detail Tables add-on.

Something similar is achievable, but it’s not dynamic, so you’d need to do a lot of manual work.

If you have some specific, technical questions, please feel free to open a Pre-Purchase ticket on our official support platform, by clicking here, and our support managers will gladly help you out in more detail.

Kind regards.

hi the current filter activation turns off the report builder activation and vice versa. what the heck? can you plz fix asap as I have purchased 3 products from you and wan tto get the details add0n but if it’s goign to instal like this, then no. Please fix this and update. thnx

Hello there. Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are not able to replicate this issue – all purchase codes have been activated and they never deactivated on our servers: https://imagesharing.com//photo.php?s=x18vh24m

To achieve better results, our developers already included a new activation logic and it’s currently being tested. It will be included in our next update, so please let us know if this issue still occurs after you update the plugin and the add-ons (once the updates are released).

Please note that having the purchase code deactivated doesn’t render the plugin useless – it still functions normally, it’s just that you wouldn’t be able to receive auto-updates if the purchase code is deactivated.

Kind regards.

Likely won’t work, but I see you have a URL field for example so, wonder if it can first create a table and then have a search function where for example someone can search by user name, store/site name, and have it return results as to a pasted Url lets say for Antiques as a category/Taxonomy. Reason why I ask is because trying to create a directory with extra URLs so, for example have a local restaurant that usually has a order page and sometimes grub hub. Unfortunately these directory themes are limited to one URL and then someone has to keep making multiple posts so, if this WP table works = I can maybe make a table and then have a webpage link via pull down menu from the main home page also. If confused I’ll try to show visually what I want to do. For just asking info for future considerations. If it works and its $200 vs. a programers expense = worth my time since I’m a non programer, but am good at pasting URL links and making database tables.

Hello there.

Thank you for your interest in the plugin.

We don’t quite understand what you’re trying to achieve here, so can we ask you to record a video, post it online and share the link with us, so we can see what exactly you mean?

Also, you can open a private pre-purchase ticket on our official support platform https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/, and post the video there, and one of our support managers will gladly help you with this.

Kind regards.

Hello, I’m trying to activate the plugin, but the message appears that I don’t have a valid purchase code.

Error! The purchase code is invalid or it has expired

Hi there.

Since you bought the plugin through Envato marketplace, you don’t actually need the purchase code to activate the license. The “Purchase Code” field is reserved for purchases made through our website, and needs to stay blank when you’re activating with Envato.

So, all you need to do is click on “ACTIVATE WITH ENVATO”, and the plugin will take you to the Envato log-in page, where (upon logging-in) the license will be activated.

Best regards!

When I try to activate by the button, it shows this error.

Error! It seems you don’t have a valid purchase of Powerful Filters for wpDataTables

Hi again.

Because Envato’s API is limited to linking 3 requests per second you will probably need to click on “Activate with Envato” a few times until the license is activated, but once it is activated, it will stay active and you will be able to update the plugin through the Plugins page.

Can you please try now, and let me know if it works? Just remember that you probably will need to click on “Activate with Envato” a few times before it actually activates the license.

If you’re still facing issues, please feel free to open a pre-purchase ticket on our official support platform https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ and our support managers will gladly help.

Kind regards.

Hi, I try to setup the license, but the plugin can’t identify on Envato my license. It’s ok for WP DataTables but the filters don’t. Can u help me?

Hello there.

Are you clicking on “Activate with Envato”? If so, please remember that you shouldn’t enter the purchase code in its designated field, but only click on the purchase code.

If you’re still having issues with this, try from an incognito window (private session), and if that fails too, please open a pre-purchase ticket on our official support platform https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ and our support managers will gladly help.

I have created custom post types (with CPT UI) and also created some custom fields (with ACF PRO). Now it need a plugin that:

-Display my custom posts types in list and displaying the custom fields of each custom post type in columns . I have also attachment file in custom field which I want to display it on a column and the user be able to download it with one click. - Filtering the posts according to Year. - Compatibility with Avada theme.

Best Regards, g.a.

Hi there.

Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

Please note, though, that Powerful Filters is just an add-on for our core plugin wpDataTables.

We don’t have integration with ACF, but if you know your way around SQL, you will be able to pull the data from ACF’s database, and create tables you need. Powerful filters provide the ability to hide the table before filtering is applied, and cascade filtering. Everything else is already included in wpDataTables plugin.

If you have any further questions, please open a pre-purchase ticket on our support platform https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/, and our support manager will help you there.

Kind regards.

Hello, I have an important question before deciding whether to buy this plugin.

This plugin can perform a search by putting some measures?

As an example I tell you that it would be to look for boxes, the user puts the measures of high length and width, and as a result gives the references that have those measures or more approximate.

Can you do that ???

Thank you, spectacular plugin!

Hello there.

Thank you for your interest in our add-on.

Please note that Powerful filters is an add-on for wpDataTables, which allows you and your site visitors to filter table data in the WordPress Tables frontend with Cascade filters; it also allows you to hide the table before the filter is applied.

Before purchase, you can test all plugin and Add-on features on our sandbox site.

If your tables have columns that contain width, height and length, they can be used in cascade filtering to display particular boxes.

Best regards.

Hello, after turning on the cascade filter option, the names of the filter options start to change when i narrow down the result, can we prevent this from happening? Please look here: https://www.screstauratie.nl/zoek-in-register/ Thanks in advance!

Hello there.

Cascade filtering actually works with this logic. Once you enable one filter, it will automatically filter the other column, so the filter for that column displays only possible options.

For example, if you have one column with operating system names, and another column with available software for those systems, once you choose “Windows”, the other filter will show “Excel, Word, Power Point, Paint” if they exist in a cell in this order. If the cell has only one entry per row, it will leave them as individual filtering options.

Best regards.

Select Records in a Radius? Any way I can add this function or any plans to add it as a feature?

Hi there.

Could you please explain what you mean by “Radius” – within one filter, or using a combination of filters?

Please provide as much info as you can. We don’t have this feature, unfortunately, and it hasn’t been planed yet.

Thank you for your suggestion. We carefully follow customers requirements and try to implement most of them if they appear in requests from time to time, so we will add to our idea list and look into some possible solutions on plugin side in the future.

One of the most common things found on corporate websites and done with address data is the ability to “Find Our Nearest Store” or for a Real Estate Site, Find All Houses in a 10 Mile Radius. This usually involves entering a zip code into a form and pulling up a list of nearby locations that have been geocoded with Long/Lat.

Integration with one of these plugins would be great. https://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-store-locator-plugins/ But you could also a just create your own as part of the filter options using this code: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/158758/finding-nearest-points-and-points-within-a-radius

hi i have the datatables plugin and am very happy with it. was considering purchasing the other two addons too. Here is what i want to make sure before i buy. 1. powerful filters. Will it work on new entry or edit also. I have nested selects – country -> state -> district and would like to filter the state dropdown based on country and district based on state. Is this possible? I can see it is possible on the display side of the table. I am interested in knowing whether it will work while editing or inserting a record also.

2. the report generator is great but i would like to create pdf and not doc or xls. is it possible?

Hello.

Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

We’re sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately Powerful Filters work just like filters, they do not play any part in modifying existing content, or entering new. So in short – Powerful Filters don’t work in New or Edit modals.

Also, unfortunately creating PDF documents using Report Builder is not possible at the moment. We are considering it for some future releases, but cannot say if or when it will be implemented.

Best regards.

What is the different between this and default filter of wpDataTables ?

Hi,

Thank You for Your interest in our plugin.

Sorry for the late response, our team had non-working days from Monday 31st of December until Wednesday 2nd of January.

Powerful filters is an add-on for wpDataTables which allows you and your site visitors to filter table data in the WordPress Tables front-end with Cascade filters; it also allows you to hide the table before the filter is applied.

You can read more about this add-on in our documentation, and of course You can always open a ticket on our support platform https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ under Pre-Purchase section, and our support manager will be glad to help with Your questions.

Dear Sir,

My site uses a Directory Theme with built-in Polylang.

As a directory theme, it provides Taxonomies for Item Categories and Item Locations; I have created a number of item category and location taxonomies.

However, I would like to have multiple filter drop down menus (especially for mobile users which have less space) so that users can filter/search based on their preferences. At the moment the theme displays taxonomies for item categories as icons shown on my test site below:

https://www.mydomain.com/cat/cars-for-sale/

Basically, I would like to have multiple filter drop down menus on both pages above instead icons displayed. For example, on https://www.mydomain.com/cat/cars-for-sale/, I would like to have drop down lists for these taxonomy terms (Fuel, Gear Box, Make):

Fuel Gear Box Make -Petrol -Automatic -Toyota -Diesel -Manual -Freelander -Nissan

etc. so that users can use the above drop down menus to filter their searches with multiple selections.

Here are the hiararchy of the above taxonomy terms I created using the directory theme:

Motors -Cars For Rent -Cars For Sale —Fuel —-Petrol —-Diesel —Gear Box —-Automatic —-Manual —Make —-Toyota —-Freelander —-Nissan

etc.

May I have the following questions:

1. Is your plugin compatible with Polylang?
2. Can it be used to created multiple taxonomy drop down menues for filtering purposes on listed/directory website?
3. Can I customise it in a Template so that those drop down menus can be displayed on specific pages?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards

Daro

Hi,

Thank you for prompt reply.

The site above is just an example. Here is a default directory theme site:

www.skiw2dmsg.biz

Can I use your plugin to custom taxonomy filters for that theme?

and is it compatible with Polylang?

Cheers

Daro

Hi,

We haven’t worked with Polylang and are not familiar with the plugin, but we can recommend downloading wpDataTables Lite. There, You can create a simple table and see if You can translate it using Polylang. If You can translate wpDataTables, then Powerful Filters for wpDataTables should also be easily translated.

We don’t have a list of “blacklisted” themes, so to speak, so we cannot say if there are any conflicts with the themes. Again, You can try using the Lite version, and test it that way.

We cannot guarantee compatibility with any third-party apps or hardware (hosting, web server, plugin, theme, script, etc.).

Best regards.

Version 1.0.3 (released 12.12.2018)

  • Small bug fixes and stability improvements.
  • Compatibility with WordPress 5.0 confirmed.

Is it possible to have a text search field on a separate page from the table? For example, if I had a text search on my home page, can I enter criteria that takes me to a pre filtered result table on another page?

Hi,

We didn’t have this kind of requests, so we cannot say for sure, but this would probably require some customization work. Please contact our support at https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/, so they can investigate this and see if something like this is achievable.

Hi, this plugin looks so great. I’m trying to create a car tires website where customers can search the best tire option using filters like model, year, traction, etc. I have a database (Excel) with +21,000 rows:

1- These plugins (wpdatatables and powerful filters) can run large databases querys?

2.- Are there shortcodes to place tables wherever I want in the site?

Regards

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

1. Yes, these plugins can run large databases queries, you just need to create a table by importing the data from data source to MySQL.
2. Yes there are shortcodes and you can place the tables wherever you want.
