[Plugin: Tablepress] Is it possible to use TP as an admin "database"

    I would like to use tablepress as a solely admin “database”.
    The wp-admin would have menu new items ie. Table 1, Table 2.
    Tables inside these menus would be editable by the admin and have certain data-sums (ie. the sum of column “price” would be a Total above the table).

    The tables themselves and their rows/cols would be setup by me, the “superadmin” and the “editors” would not be able to access the Tablepress setup.

    Is this possible, and if so, what is the best way to approach this?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question.

    While it is not possible to show tables directly as items in the menu, it is possible to only give “Administrators” the rights to see and edit a table.
    For that, I suggest to use the “Role Manager” component of the “Members” plugin from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugin/members/
    With that, you can take all capabilities that start with “tablepress_” away from “Authors” and “Editors”. After that, only “Administrators” can use TablePress.

    To then also use formulas in the table, please see http://tablepress.org/tablepress-features-formulas/ for more information.

    Regards,
    Tobias
