calling form from data table

Resolved elitw

I’m looking at WP Data Access for a project, but can’t find a way to do this:

I want to show a table with CRUD actions in the table and custom buttons above the table. So far I get the CRUD working in Forms Builder, but can’t find a way for custom buttons. In the Table Builder I can add custom buttons, but don’s see how I van handle the insert/edit/delete and lookup columns. What is the best way to handle this?

Hi @elitw,

You can use a Data Project. 🙂

We have a guide outlined here: Projects and templates | WP Data Access

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

That’s where I started and so far it works well. But now I want to add custom buttons that act on selected rows. I don’t see a way to do that with a data project.

Hi @elitw,

Could you tell us more about the custom buttons you want to add?

Have you checked out Dynamic Hyperlinks | WP Data Access?

We’ll wait for your response!

I did look at dynamic hyperlinks and will use that on actions I want to do on a single row.

I’ll tell a bit more about what I’m trying to create. It’s a database with workshops and registrations for those workshops. One of the custom buttons I would like to create is for sending the same (custom) message to all selected participants. The other custom button is changing the registration status for all selected participants. In both cases it’s not all people who have registered to the same workshop, but a manual subset of it.

Hi @elitw,

Thanks for the additional information!

We’ll forward this use case to Peter to see if he has ideas on how to implement it in Data Forms.

He’s currently traveling right now so feedback might be a while.

We appreciate your patience! 🙏

Hi @elitw,

Just received feedback from Peter. ✌️

At the moment, it’s not possible to add buttons on Data Forms. It has been planned to be added in the future, but we don’t have ETA yet.

Hope that helps!
