Hi,
I'm using formidablepro to create business listings, and I need to present information in a sorted table.
After inserting the table on the WP editor is it possible to edit the code / shortcode generated by your plugin? So I can build a dynamic content table.
Right now I'm using https://wordpress.org/plugins/esy-table and it works, but your plugin is much more attractive.

Hi,

Thanks! In WP Table manager there's only a shortcode to insert table (even if it's easier to use the editor button).
In fact you can edit your table visually, from your editor, you don't need to edit a shortcode.

You can see the process in the video demo around 40 seconds after the beginning:
- You create a table, insert in your editor
- It generate a drop zone, then you can click on it to edit the table in a lightbox (same process as a WordPress image)

Cheers,

Ok... so probably it won't work for my case.

I need to insert the table in a view generated by formidablepro (not a page or post), and then I have to "hack" the shortcode to insert other shortcodes from formidablepro - yep, it is not easy to explain unless you know what I mean by "view" and how formidablepro works.

Is the raw shortcode something like this?

[table]
Year,Make,Model,Length
1997,Ford,E350,2.34
2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.38
[/table]

Can you show me a print of the shortcode format?

Hi,

I'm sorry but the shortcode is not dynamically editable, it's "fixed".
