    Hi Tobias, I suspect this isn’t remotely possible given my testing, but I’ve had partial success using acf repeater fields, and your php in cells extension to dynamically display a single row tablepress table rendering multiplied repeater contents on the front end. However, because I’m calling the table within ‘if have_rows/while the_row’, each repeater row is preceded by the tablepress datatables header (of course!). Can you envisage a solution where each acf repeater row can be encapsulated within a single datatables header, and provide the column sorting option therein?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you here :-/ I’m not at all familiar with that ACF Repeater plugin (to be honest, I haven’t even heard of it before) and simply don’t know how I could help here 🙁 Sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias, sorry for not being clear, acf is advanced custom fields.
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/
    The repeater allows you to create a set of sub fields which can be repeated again and again whilst editing content.
    I had a look for acf/tablepress integration and the only option right now appears to be an add-on for Advanced Custom Fields that creates a custom field type to select a TablePress table, providing a dropdown menu that lets you select from a list of available tables.
    What I have working, albeit in a primitive state, is populating the tablepress data dynamically from acf fields.

    Hi,

    thanks for the clarification. Yes, I have heard about ACF, but have never used it myself. I know that there’s that Extension to show a table, but unfortunately, I have no clue how that can be customized. Sorry 🙁

    Regards,
    Tobias
