 * Hello again. I installed TablePress and also the extensions, but what I really
   need is the ColumnFilterWidgets of DataTables … however I want to keep using 
   the admin that TablePress offers … so my question is where is the database that
   creates TablePress? I can´t find it in phpMyAdmin… where TablePress stored information?…
   thank you very much

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * TablePress does not use its own database tables, but stores tables in JSON format
   in a WordPress Custom Post Type. You will therefore find the tables in this format
   in the wp_posts table.
    I strictly discourage you from accessing the data directly,
   as this is not supported by the plugin, and should not be done in WordPress anyway.
 * Also, for implementing the ColumnFilterWidgets, this is not necessary. You will
   only have to load that into the page, and adjust the call to the DataTables JS
   library.
    As mentioned in the other thread about this, I’m planning to create
   a plugin extension for ColumnFilterWidgets, so if you are interested in this,
   I ask you for a few days of patience.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Ok. It is not about my patience but the deadline of my client … when do you think
   it will be ready the plugin? only wonder if I should start building DataTables
   directly or if I can wait … thank you very much for your help and sorry for the
   inconvenience

 * Hi,
 * my current plans are that I might find some time to work on this in the next 
   one to two weeks (as this is not really something that I need right now, I just
   would like to play with it 🙂 )
    If you need this faster, you should try to integrate
   it yourself, e.g. by taking other Extensions that add JS code to DataTables (
   see [https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions](https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress-Extensions))
   as examples or templates. If you want, we could also try to work something out
   professionally, in which case I’d ask you to contact me via email (the address
   is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”).

 * Thanks for all your suggestions and your help. I will try to develop the features
   that I need and if I fail I will contact you .. just a question .. there is any
   chance of repeating several times the search field? that would solve my problem
   partly because I can assign to each search field a category … thank you very 
   much and sorry for the inconvenience

 * Hi,
 * yes, that sounds like a good solution then.
 * About repeating the search field: I think that this is possible, but it wouldn’t
   help at all, because the Search fields would all do the same: Search the entire
   table. Searching by category would require more code and work.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
