    Hello, Thank you for the great plugin. I have already used this plugin in couples of my project. It was a great help to display the election result here in Nepal (http://www.nepalvotes.com/winners-fptp/)

    Now, I am trying to utilize tablepress to track activities of 601 elected mps, data like their attendance, the numbers of debate they are involved in. http://nepalca.com/ (sorry this is in Nepali).

    I will have 601 rows in my table and like 10 columns. When I click on the name of the MP I want to be redirected to another page that list all the values from the columns of that row. I am trying to do something like this: http://www.prsindia.org/mptrack/rajyasabha/list?state=Uttar%20Pradesh

    How it could be possible? Is there any automation that converts each rows to individual posts and fetch data from the related column? It would be also great to know if there is anyway to visualize the table data.

    Thank you again,
    Kamal

    Hi,

    thanks for your question!

    I’m sorry, but there’s no way that TablePress creates a post for each row automatically. Showing only the data of a particular row in a post would however be possible, by using some Shortcode parameters in that post (that you’ll have to create first):

    [table id=123 hide_rows=all show_rows=3 /]

    This would only show the third row.
    Also, TablePress does not have any visualization tools built-in. However, as the data is shown as a table, it should be possible to use common JS libraries for that.

    An alternative to the table solution might be to use WordPress “Custom Post Types”. With that, every MP would be a post with that post type. You could then use post meta data (via Custom Fields) to track the data for each MP then and display it using the regular WordPress Template Tag functions.

    Regards,
    Tobias
