Based on the DataTables Buttons add-on for the DataTables JavaScript library, this Extension can add even more features to a table, namely buttons for “Copy to Clipboard”, “Save to PDF”, “Save to Excel”, “Save to CSV”, a “Print view”, and “Column Visibility”. It’s the successor of the now retired DataTables TableTools Extension.
To use this in your tables, download, install, and activate this Extension like a regular WordPress plugin. Then, change your table’s Shortcode from something like
[table id=123 /] |
to
[table id=123 datatables_buttons="colvis,copy,csv,excel,pdf,print" /] |
on the page where you are showing the table.
The value of that datatables_buttons parameter is a comma-separated list of the buttons that shall be enabled for this table, in the desired order of appearance. The items in the list can be removed, added, or moved as desired. The different values belong to these features/buttons:
copy: Copy to Clipboardcsv: Save table to a CSV fileexcel: Save table to an Excel (.xlsx) filepdf: Save table to a PDF fileprint: Show a Print view and dialog for the tablecolvis: Show a column visibility button
Here’s an example of the Extension in action, with the Shortcode from above. Notice the extra buttons above the table.
