 * Hi,
    Great plugin! I got it working with basic options. I would like to have 
   an option to export data to excel / csv and possibly to pdf (Buttons extension).
   Are those included into your plugin? How would I go about adding those options
   to my table? Thank you!

 * Hi Veronica, Did you find how to make this work? I’m trying to use columnsToggle
   which uses buttons and haven’t been able to get it working yet.

 * Hi,
    I contacted plugin developer and he graciously agreed to add buttons functionality
   to this plugin within a week or so. I am waiting! I will update here once it 
   is done.

 * This is from the author:
    Get plugin from [https://github.com/samsk/wp-datatable](https://github.com/samsk/wp-datatable).
   Add fat=”1″ to shortcode to enable bigger DT.
 * He will be updating it here as well.
 * I have not tested yet, planning to do it within couple of days. 🙂 Hope it helps!

 * Latest plugin with added Buttons extension and export to csv/excel has been released
   as version 0.2.3.
    For usage of Button extension see manual – [https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/](https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/).
 * ie.
 *     ```
       [wp-datatable id="mtable" fat="1"]
           dom: 'Bfrtip',
           paging: true,
           responsive: true,
           ordering: true,
           buttons: [
               'copy', 'csv'
           ]
       [/wp-datatable]
       ```
   
 * Note that this plugin only provides datatables functionality for your tables,
   to configure each table to your needs, you have to consult manual of datatables
   and its extensions ([https://datatables.net/manual/index](https://datatables.net/manual/index)),
   and use proper config options inside of shortcode.
