table press plugin access

    I was wondering since the tablepress plugin uses an ID code to pull it into the page, is there a way to have someone be able to access the table to make changes without giving them access to anything else in the dashboard area?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    You could probably use the WordPress role and capability system to restrict a user to accessing TablePress, but nothing else in the Dashboard.
    That’s however not really reliable, as other plugins don’t always use that system.
    Then, you would however still need a solution where a user can only edit a given table ID, which is not yet possible.

    Sorry for not having better news here.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    I didn’t want to restrict them from the tablepress, I will only be using one table but I wanted to restrict them from the rest of the dashboard. But that’s ok.
    Also, I was looking for a solution to make the whole table bigger. I am using a page with no sidebar(only that page) so I can span the table the entire width of the page, however, when I disable the sidebar it still does not get any wider. any docs on this? I saw the one for columns but not the whole table. Thanks, Ken

    Hi,

    ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification!
    That should be possible then, or at least you can try it.
    I suggest to install the Members plugin from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/members/ and then create a new user role that only has the “read” capability and the relevant ones from TablePress (see the other roles for an example, or refer to the list at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/tablepress-admin-capabilites-problems?replies=8#post-3931888 )
    With this, you can restrict the users from everything but TablePress, but you should really test this a lot.

    Regarding the full width: That’s not something that TablePress can influence, but it’s a theme issue. You should maybe contact your theme’s developer and ask him for a solution to make content span the full width. (A TablePress table will always span 100% of the space that it is given by the theme, by default.)

    Regards,

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!

    Best wishes,

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
