Thank you for your reply, Tobias. Yes, everything in the first part of your message is correct. I want to be able to choose a category by a URL parameter, so that I can link to a pre-filtered table.

Thanks again for your help. Perhaps someone will be looking for the same thing and be kind enough to post the code. I certainly will if I find someone to do the code. Thanks again.

I see what it doing now. It is pulling keywords from the description, rather than displaying the property category ‘flexible’ as the drop down does. How can I get it to display to exclude_columns=1,3,4,5 and function like the drop down on that page?

Yes, I changed the code. Here is the entire php.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: TablePress Extension: Shortcode Filter from GET parameter
Plugin URI: https://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcode-filter-get-parameter/
Description: Custom Extension for TablePress to use the Row Filter extension with a filter term from a $_GET parameter
Version: 1.0
Author: Tobias Bäthge
Author URI: https://tobias.baethge.com/
*/

/*
 * The Shortcode: [table_filter id=123 /]
 * will be filtered for http://example.com/?table_filter=myfilterword
 */

function tablepress_filter_shortcode( $attributes, $content ) {
	if ( ! empty( $_GET['table_filter'] ) ) {
		$filter_term = $_GET['table_filter'];
		/*
		 * Only allow characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and spaces in the filter term.
		 * This regular expression needs to be extended if other characters shall be allowed.
		 */
		$filter_term = preg_replace( '#[^a-z0-9 ]#i', '', $filter_term );
		$attributes['datatables_auto_filter'] = $filter_term;
	}
	return tablepress_get_table( $attributes );
}

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
	add_shortcode( 'table_filter', 'tablepress_filter_shortcode' );
}

Here is my shortcode for the page:

[table_filter id=4 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,3,4,5 /]

Thanks for your help.

Hi, The table filter shortcode is working fine on the page. I’m trying to create a simple text link from elsewhere within the site like this:

<a href="http://digital805.com/beai/datasheets_sds/adhesive-by-properties/?table_filter=FLEXIBLE">FLEXIBLE</a>

I have installed Shortcode Filter from GET parameter plugin and DataTables Automatic Filtering.

Using the shortcode would work too, but I want the drop down to display on it’s own page and then filter when directing to the page that contains the data.

I hope that is clear. Thanks!

I also installed Shortcode Filter from GET parameter plugin and still not working. Do I need. Do I need the row filtering extension as well? I’m happy to make a donation once I get it working. Thank you!

I also need my content to be flush left, not center on the page, including the title. The page is alos not recognizing any breaks in the content.

I guess I will post my issues individually. If I don’t get a response within the next couple of days, I’m going to abandon this plugin.

Maybe you only respond to paid plugin issues?

I’m still unable to resolve this issue. When I turned on debug, I didn’t see anything in the log related to this plugin, but I received a different error: Error: Method Not Implemented

Do you have any suggestions?
