Create Tablepress tables which summarize and display information from Pods
##### Description
This project is an extension to the TablePress plug-in (see https://tablepress.org/) for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/). It is not useful without the TablePress plug-in. This project is not part of TablePress, but designed to work with it and extend its capabilities.
This project also assumes that you have installed the Pods plug-in (see https://pods.io/) in your WordPress installation. It is also not useful without the Pods plug-in.
The tablepress-pods extension allows you to extract and display in Tablepress tables information from the content in Pods custom post types and taxonomies. If you use Pods and would like to produce tables from the information you've stored in them, this extension is potentially very useful.
Download a release from https://code.studioinfinity.org/glen/tablepress-pods/releases (as a zip file) and install and activate in your WordPress site like any other extension in zip format. Namely, from your Dashboard, you can:
1. Select Plugins from the left-hand menu bar.
1. Click on "Add New" and then "Upload Plugin."
1. Browse to the downloaded zip file on your local disk, and click "Install Now."
1. If this is an upgrade, it will show you the currently installed version and the new version and ask you to
This extension operates by adding additional parameters to the [table id=NN /] shortcode. For a list of the provided parameters and their meanings, see the source file tablepress-pods.php. For it to be useful, you then need to go to the
table definition (in the Tablepress tabs from the Dashboard) of the corresponding table and use Pods "magic tags" within that table.
Here's a brief example:
`[table id=2 pod_name="problem" /]`
together with a definition of table 2 in Tablepress that looks like
Note that the {}-expressions allowed in the entries of the table definition include arbitrary Pods "magic tags" syntax. So for example in my installation, which categorizes articles from a periodical, I have such expressions as `{@issue.issue_number}` and `{@section.permalink}`. You can also use the custom postprocessing argument, e.g. `{@source, list_of_links_to_terms}` (where "list_of_links_to_terms" is defined in the functions.php of my theme).
