 * Hi Peter,
 * I did send you the details for access to my site via the contactform on you plugin
   page.
 * Please ignore the issue that I mentioned about not being able to update records–
   that was caused by DB access permissions and is resolved.
 * Thanks for your help, once again. You are the most responsive plugin author. 
   It makes me re-think about publishing my own plugins, if I have to live up to
   this level of support 🙂
 * The only things that I have as still an issue are
    1) using the wpda_search_column
   as a GET query variable against a Data Project page – the filter is lost if I
   click on column headers to re-order data. 2) just being able to set an order_by
   in an option set used by a Data Project page. I have tried this using a SQL-style
   entry ‘report_time desc’, and no good. I tried the same format as works in a 
   Data Publication i.e. ‘2, desc’ but that didn’t seem to work either.
 * Finally, what DB GRANTs are required for target Database? My example DB (not 
   the WordPress DB) only uses wp data access for reads and updates, so I have granted
   only select and update access. Is that enough?
 * Any insights would be appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Mark

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thanks,
 * Yes, you were quite correct – wpda_search_column IS working for a Data Publication
   now, I just needed to reload the page without cache to get latest javascript.
   Also, I note that sorting by column in the broweser/client works nicely here.
 * I will send the access details for my site via the contact form in case you would
   find it helpful.
 * Kind regards,
    Mark

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thanks for your work here, but I don’t have any good news. I de/re-installed 
   your pluging from WordPress following your instructions.
 * I tried wpda_search_column as a query variable against a Data Publication but
   it still didn’t work for me.
 * Also I noticed that when I used wpda_search_column in a Data Project page, all
   worked, but then as soon as I do something like re-order the data by clicking
   a column header, the filter is lost. I needed to re-order as the order that I
   specified in the Data Project option group itself didn’t work.
 * Kind regards,
    Mark

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thanks for your notes.
 * Step 2 – id_artist is an INT field. Yes, the shortcode is the same. As yours 
   works, I tried removing some of the settings in my publication (field list, ORDER
   by), but still no luck.
 * Step 3 – OK, yes, using the wpda_search_column query variable against a page 
   created from a Data Project DOES WORK!! I set up the dynamic hyperlink to point
   to a page with a shortcode like [wpdadiehard project_id=”1″ page_id=”3″] and 
   now my View Tracks against each Artist works fine.
 * That should be enough for me to complete my proof-of-concept site for now.
 * Thanks,
    Mark

 * Thanks for the quick response Peter.
 * I understand what you have said, and see that I have a way to make the list responsive.
 * From a technical standpoint, I don’t see why the number of records in my DB table
   should affect your page which is essentially a list of what is in your plugins
   publication table.
 * Regards,
    Mark
