I installed many extensions with the plugin but the tabletools doesn’t work and i don’t know why. [http://www.fibre-libre.com/wordpress/?page_id=57](http://www.fibre-libre.com/wordpress/?page_id=57) Thanks for your help Sophie * [table id=7 datatables_row_details=true datatables_row_details_columns=”F” datatables_columnfilterwidgets =true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,2,5,6,7 datatables_tabletools =true /] * · Website: [http://www.fibre-libre.com/wordpress](http://www.fibre-libre.com/wordpress) · TablePress: 1.1.1 · TablePress (DB): 21 · TablePress table scheme: 3 · Plugin installed: 2013/06/28 10:31:39 · WordPress: 3.6 · Multisite: no · PHP: 5.2.17· mySQL (Server): 5.1.71-log · mySQL (Client): 5.1.66 · ZIP support: yes · UTF- 8 conversion: yes · WP Memory Limit: 40M · Server Memory Limit: 256M · Magic Quotes: on · WP_DEBUG: false * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240109) * Hi, * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble. * The problem here is that the TableTools Extension (or rather the JavaScript code in it, from [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net)) is not compatible with the other Extensions that you are already using. The different JS scripts are conflicting, so that the TableTools break. Unfortunately, I don’t really know how to fix this 🙁 Sorry. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [sofiette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sofiette/) * (@sofiette) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240111) * Thanks for the quick answer.In fact i need tabletools to print the table. Any idea? * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240113) * Hi, * not really 🙁 It might be possible to make both TableTools and the Row Details script work at the same time, but that would probably require changes in both scripts — which are beyond my skill level of JS. Sorry 🙁 * One idea might be to not rely on the browser’s printing functionality at all: Can you maybe create a PDF version of your table (export it to CSV and then make it nice in Excel and save to PDF), and offer that as a downloadable file, which users can then print? * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [sofiette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sofiette/) * (@sofiette) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240115) * Ok ! Thanks but i can’t follow your idea because i can have a lot of change in my table and i need a pdf which is related to the table. I don’t want to change the table and after the pdf… I’ve got also another issue. when i use the colum filter widget i need a specific order in the list and not alphabetic order. * Eventually, I really appreciate your work but i need to find an issue for these two problems. Do you know another plugin which is able to resolved these problems. * Tanks again Sophie * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240119) * Hi Sophie, * ok, I see… Unfortunately, I don’t know a solution to that then 🙁 I guess, you’ll have to do custom coding here. * For the ColumnFilterWidgets: As far as I know, the JS code in that does the alphabetic sorting by default. If you need a different order there, you’ll also need to explore ways of changing that with custom coding. I’m not aware of other plugins that can do this.

Last question. I’ve got a problem in the header of the table. the arrow for “Nom de refuge” doesn’t appear. Do you know why? Thanks Sophie * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240132) * Hi Sophie, * for me, the sorting arrows for “Nom de refuge” are visible just fine. Don’t forget that they appear on the right side of the column, not on the left of the words. Everything works fine for me in the table in your link from above. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [sofiette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sofiette/) * (@sofiette) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240134) * AHHH Ok SORRY Thanks Have a good day Sophie * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabletools-doesnt-work/#post-4240135) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped! * Sorry that I could not help better with those JavaScript problems. I still hope that TablePress is useful for you, even without these Extensions. * Best wishes, Tobias * P.S.: In case you haven’t, please [rate TablePress](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tablepress) here in the plugin directory.
