Table last update date

    Hi!

    Is there a way to display the date a table was last updated?
    Perhaps on the same line with the information like “Showing 1 to 25 of 200 entries”.

    It would be an optional feature, of course.

    If that’s not possible, I leave it as a suggestion for a future version of this excellent plugin, as I think it would be very useful in many cases.

    Regards,
    Jose.

    Oh! I just found the answer here: https://tablepress.org/faq/documentation-shortcode-table-info/

    Sorry for the post! Hope that can still help whoever has the same need.

    Well – but not to let the opportunity goes by! – can we omit the time when using the format=”human” ?

    And can we display this ‘last modified date’ right below the table (in the “Showing 1 to 25 of 200 entries” position)?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
    Also, sorry for the late reply. I was very busy with personal life, so that I could not reply earlier.

    When using the format human shouldn’t actually get a date or time, but a time span?! It sounds like you only want

    [table-info id=123 field=last_modified format=date /]

    here.

    To get that near that “Showing 1 to 25 of 200 entries” position, you would have to place the Shortcode inside a HTML wrapper and then maybe use CSS for the positioning.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you so much for the tips, Tobias!

    I leave as suggestion a checkbox on the table options tab that facilitates the insertion of the ‘last modified date’ just below a table.
