Rowlane Table Extras For TablePress Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Rowlane Table Extras for TablePress adds the interactive table features many site owners miss from the free TablePress plugin — without changing your tables or their shortcodes. Turn a feature on site-wide, per table, or per shortcode, and it applies to any table that has the built-in “Use DataTables” option enabled.
Features in this version:
- Responsive mode — on small screens, columns that don’t fit collapse into an expandable row, so tables stay readable on phones.
- Column filter dropdowns — a select box per column (all columns, or the ones you pick) that filters the table to one value.
- Column search fields — a text input per column for live, as-you-type substring searching of that column.
- Search panes — filter panes above the table showing each column’s values with counts; click values to filter (with cascading and totals).
- Search builder — build condition-based filters (column + condition + value) combined with AND/OR groups.
- Search highlighting — the current search term is highlighted in matching cells.
- Column reorder — visitors drag columns to reorder them; the order is remembered per visitor (with a reset button).
- Export buttons — Copy, CSV, and Print buttons above the table, in their own row so pagination and search are untouched.
- Fixed header — the header row stays visible while you scroll the page.
- Frozen columns — freeze one or more leading columns while scrolling sideways.
- Row grouping — group rows by the values in a column.
- Index column — a leading auto-numbered column that renumbers as the table is sorted, filtered, or paged.
- Alphabet search — A–Z buttons that filter a chosen column by first letter.
- Auto pre-filter — apply an initial search term when the table loads.
- Content highlighting — colour cells or rows based on their content (e.g. numbers over a threshold, or a matching category).
- Fuzzy search — a typo-tolerant global search, so “banna” still finds “Banana”.
- Inverted filter — an “Invert” toggle that shows the rows which do NOT match the search.
- Row filtering — show only the rows that match a rule (e.g. one category, or a value over a threshold), rendered server-side.
- Row reorder — visitors drag rows to reorder them for their own view (does not change the saved table).
- Advanced pagination — choose the pagination style and a custom page-length menu (including “All”).
- Table layout — reposition the length menu, search box, info text and pagination.
- Default table style — set site-wide colours (header, stripe, border, hover), striping, row density and border style.
This is an independent add-on. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TablePress or its author; the name is used only to describe compatibility. The plugin does nothing when TablePress is inactive or when a paid TablePress plan is in use.
How to use
- In TablePress, make sure the table has the “Use DataTables” feature enabled (Edit table Table Options).
- Enable the features you want on the Rowlane Table Extras settings screen — either as site-wide defaults or per table.
- Or set them per shortcode, e.g.
[table id=1 te_responsive="on" te_buttons="copy,csv,print" te_fixed_header="on" te_column_filters="all" te_column_search="1" te_search_panes="all" te_search_builder="on" te_search_highlight="on" te_column_reorder="on" te_fixed_columns="1" te_row_group="2" te_index_column="on" te_alphabet="2" te_auto_filter="Fruit" te_highlight="5:gt:30:green;2:eq:Bakery:blue:row" te_fuzzy="on" te_invert="on" te_row_filter="2:eq:Bakery" te_row_reorder="on" te_paging_type="full_numbers" te_length_menu="10,25,50,all" te_layout="bottom" /]. The same keys work in the TablePress block’s “Configuration parameters” field.
Content highlighting rules are ;-separated as column:operator:value:color[:scope] — operator is one of eq, neq, contains, gt, lt, gte, lte; color is green, red, yellow, blue, orange, or gray; scope is cell (default) or row. Row-filtering rules use the same ;-separated column:operator:value form (a row must match every rule to be shown). The default table style is a site-wide setting only, on the Table Extras settings screen.
