Change Default Options

    Hi @tobiasbg,

    I am now importing tables from local files into my website, most of the things work well.
    Just one thing I wonder if I can change, which is the default options.
    Is there a file stored somewhere, maybe a JSON or XML that sets the default check boxes that I can make changes to?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ryan

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Sorry, there’s no JSON or XML file for that, you’d need to use a plugin filter hook and PHP code:
    https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/models/model-table.php#L911
    That filter hook offers an array of an empty table, in which you can set default values.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi @tobiasbg,

    Thanks for the help.
    I have tried to change the default values as such:

    But it doesn’t seem to make any change.
    Then I copy the block of code to functions.php, still the same.
    Can you please let me know where I should place the code and where to call get_table_template() ?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    sorry, I was a bit unclear. You’d need to use the filter hook function, i.e.

    add_filter( 'tablepress_table_template', 'ryan0432_tablepress_table_template' );
function ryan0432_tablepress_table_template( $table ) {
  $table['options']['datatables_sort'] = false;
  $table['options']['datatables_filter'] = false;
  return $table;
}

    etc.
    This could go into your theme’s “functions.php” file.

    Note that these changes only apply to tables that are created or imported after adding this code!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hey @tobiasbg,

    It works. 😀 Now I have a better idea on how WordPress PHP works.
    Was coming from other background and not having enough experience on coding.
    Thanks a lot for helping me out 😀
