Problems with DataTables FixedHeader & DataTables FixedColumns

    Hi,

    we tried for the following first table (Kleidung)
    [ redundant link removed ]
    the two extensions to fix the left row and the header. But nothing works:

    [table id=48 responsive=scroll datatables_fixedcolumns_left_columns=1 datatables_fixedcolumns_right_columns=0 datatables_fixedheader=top datatables_fixedheader_offsettop=60/]

    Do you have any idea how to fix it? Is there a solution to use only 1 extension (e.g. DataTables FixedHeader and RowGrouping)?

    Thanks + best regards

    Chekki

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, it’s not possible to use the FixedColumns and FixedHeader Extensions at the same time, as they are not compatible 🙁
    (In addition, using the responsive parameter with one of these is not necessary.)

    Regards,

    Hi,

    thanks for your reply. I have updated the table with the FixedColum parameter only:

    [table id=48 responsive=scroll datatables_fixedcolumns_left_columns=1 datatables_fixedcolumns_right_columns=0/]

    But it doesn´t work. Any idea?

    Best regards

    Hi,

    Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    First table on the following page (you should adjust the browser size – its a small table):

    Hi,

    thanks for the link (and sorry for missing it in your first post…)

    Are you sure that the FixedColumns Extension is actually installed and activated as a WordPress plugin? It doesn’t seem to be…

    In addition, you have several tables on that page that use #colspan# to merge/combine cells. Unfortunately, this is not compatible with the DataTables JS library. For these tables, you therefore must either remove all #colspan# or uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox on the table’s “Edit” screen.

    Great it works. 🙂 Is there no chance to fix also the header?

    Furthermore: I would really appreciate it if all extensions are available in the main plugin. So we have less plugins in our backend.

    Thanks
    Best regards

    Also there is a problem with the fixed column while scrolling on a mobile phone:

    No scrolling:

    Scrolling:

    The left column will no be displayed “full”.

    Do you have any idea?

    Hi,

    no, sorry, I’m not aware of a solution to also fix the header row here 🙁

    And adding all these Extensions to the main plugin does not make sense. The approach of using small customized plugins is much more efficient. The plain number of plugins on a site means nothing.

    As for the scroll problem: Where can I see this? I can’t see this table on the page from your link?!

    Please use this link:

    unaufschiebbar. de/test/

    I think the problem is the length of the title in the left corner on the top.

    Hope you understand me.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    that’s strange. For me, the first column is actually reasonably wide in a small browser window…

    Hi,

    thanks for your reply. Please try the adjustment on a smartphone. I am using an iPhone 6 and 7. In an browser window I also have no problems.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    on my Android phone, it also works fine. Unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone to test, sorry.

    Thanks for your reply. I think I am not the only one who is using Tablepress with an iPhone. Is there really no chance to find a solution for me and all other iOS user?

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    I don’t really know how 🙁 If I can’t see the issue, it’s hard for me to debug this. You could maybe try setting a column width for the first column, via https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/

    Hi,

    thanks but it doesn´t work. Is there something to break the line for one row?

    Best regards
