    I would like to use this plugin in a template file.
    I’ve created a table, id=3. With column names.
    I would like to populate the data on the table using php in the template file, pulling data from acf fields in a custom post type.
    Is this possible using this plugin?

    I tried to find a starting point and used the following code but nothing appeared on the table. 

    $table_id = '3';
$table = TablePress::$model_table->load( $table_id );
$table['data'][0][0] = 'hello';

    What is the best way to do this?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    To be honest, I don’t really recommend this. Your best chance probably is to use the tablepress_table_render_data filter hook (see https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/classes/class-render.php#L258) and to overwrite the data there.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    How would I use this hook?
    I tried
    function therapist_listing_content(){
    echo “populate cells?”;
    }
    add_action(‘therapist_listing_content’, ‘tablepress_table_render_data’);
    but it isn’t doing anything. How do I connect it to table id =3

    Hi,

    I recommend that you first try to learn more about how filters work in WordPress.

    Basically, the filter will get the current table data as a parameter, you can then modify it and return the new data.

    For example, use this:

    add_filter( 'tablepress_table_render_data', 'LucyTech_modify_TablePress_table', 10, 2 );
function LucyTech_modify_TablePress_table( $table, $render_options ) {
  if ( '3' !== $table['id'] ) {
    return $table;
  }

  // modify $table['data'] here

  return $table;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias
