The Shortcode

[table-info id=N field=<field-name> /]Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

can be used to display table meta data in a post, page, or text widget. While editing the content into which the Shortcode is embedded, it serves as a placeholder for that meta information.

The Shortcode supports three parameters:

Module	Slug		Configuration parameter	Name	Description	Type	Default value
Table Info	table-info		id	Table ID	The ID of the table to show (can be seen on the “All Tables” or the “Edit” screen).	string	none (required)
Table Info	table-info		field	Meta Field Name	The name of a meta field. Possible values are name: The name of the table with ID id. description: The description of the table with ID id. last_modified: The time of the last modification of the table with ID id. last_editor: The author who last modified the table with ID id.	string	none (required)
Table Info	table-info		format	Meta Field Output Format	Only applies to the default field last_modified: If the format parameter is set to raw, a date-time string will be returned, otherwise a pretty string. The format human can be used to show a text like “5 hours ago”, the format values date and time show just the date or time of the last modification, respectively.	string	"" (empty string)
