Post the shortcode you are trying.
Further testing today isolated the offending phrase, it is the one that adds the scrollbar — which I was thrilled to discover as scrollbar is essential.
”’dt_options=”bJQueryUI:true, sScrollX:’100%’, bScrollCollapse:true” ”’
So I believe the question has evolved to how to get a scrollbar that does not disable the sort order?
Many thanks! Code below:
”'[cfdb-datatable form=”myform2″ dt_options=”bJQueryUI:true, sScrollX:’100%’, bScrollCollapse:true” id=”myid” style=”#myid td { font-size: 140%; }” show=”Submitted,date_time,Last-Name,First-M,Company,Address,City,State,Zip,Phone,from_email,akismet,Submitted Login,ip_address,email_to,name_to” headers=”email_to=Record Emailed To,name_to=Staff Name,ip_address=IP Address,Submitted Login=Login ID,date_time=Date Declared,akismet=Akismet” orderby=”Submitted DESC” ]”’
See if this helps:
dt_options="bJQueryUI:true, sScrollX:'100%', bScrollCollapse:true, 'aaSorting': []"
Unfortunately no. Receive data order desired but lose the shading for alternate rows. At end of data instead of a scrollbar it displays the code following the ‘aaSorting’:[] as if the code broke there? Have searched the aaSorting term and syntax appears to be correct. If I move it to another location in the dt_options string (with separating comma) then the code breaks at that new location. I do not know dt_options, had picked the phrase from CFDB documentation, your help very much appreciated!
In case it could make a difference in Submitted date formats, data source is “Fast Secure Contact Form” not “Contact Form 7”.
It seems to work OK for me. But WP might not be able to properly parse it when the “[]” characters inside a shortcode. It may thing the ] is ending the shortcode.
You might want to look at http://datatables.net for more info on datatable options.
Okay, thank you, I will follow up on that. Will post again if I get a solution. There is time before the amount of data catches up to critical for the reverse chron — going with the scrollbar which is more important for now.
