difference between wpdadiehard and wpdadataforms

    I’m confused about these two. The documentation encourages use of wpdadataforms but I must be using it wrong.

    If I use wpdadiehard I can select column filter and I get in-line editing. And the edit page is full sized. If I user wpdadataforms I can select the number of rows I can display and the edit dialog is a pop-up but much smaller. My user cares as there are a lot of large text fields.

    Both have separate styles but that’s not as big a problem as the other differences.

    What am I doing wrong? Misunderstanding?

    Thanks

    Hi Charles,

    >>> If I use wpdadiehard I can select column filter and I get in-line editing.

    This is not yet available for Data Forms. Sorry! I have to add it. This is on my to do list.

    >>> If I user wpdadataforms I can select the number of rows I can display and the edit dialog is a pop-up but much smaller.

    You can style your popup. But it is probably better to wait. Project Templates will be extended to support more advanced styling features. I already wanted to have that implented, but it is taking more time than expected.

    Shortcode wpdadataforms does not have the limitations wpdadiehard has. That is why using that shortcode is encouraged. If you need specific features not yet available with wpdadataforms, you can use wpdadiehard. Since both shortcodes are using the same Data Projects settings, you will not need to make any changes to a project when switching your shortcode.

    Hope this helps,
    Peter

    Thanks. I’ll wait and work with what’s available. This particular situation is for internal admin use so I may just offer them a choice of pages.
