FAQ

Can not activate the latest plugin

This plugin must be working environment of PHP 5.4 since version 2.
Please use the version 1 system in previous environment of PHP 5.3.
You can be downloaded past versions from here.

Does this plugin create table on direct mysql?

Yes, can create tables in a MySQL database and manage that’s tables while use this plugin.
However, in the current version plugin can connect to only a MySQL database was installed of WordPress, yet. In other words, it can connect only a MySQL database connection settings are defined in “wp-config.php”.

Is there any limit of the scope of the table?

You need a table that is managed by the plug-in is an “ID” is the primary key. The column that contains the update date and registration date of the line will also be necessary. Column These keys are added automatically when you create a table.

Can put table that have 100,000 or more rows?

There is no particular restriction on the amount of data that is stored in a table. Processing performance on a table with a large number of rows will depend on the structure such as a table or database server.
However, you should enable the “Ajax Loading” in the shortcode’s options if you want to handle the table that has a large amount of data by the shortcodes.

What should we do when there is not displayed the data via shortcode?

In most cases, that’s cause of the jQuery file conflict. Therefore please try to do procedures as follows:

Go to the “General Settings” tab on the “CDBT Plugin Options” screen.
Uncheck the checkbox of “jQuery” in the “Front-end Screen” column at the “Loading Resources” item of the “Advanced Plugin Settings”.
Click the “Save Changes” button.

Note: you should change in the “Administration Screen” column at above step 2 If the same trouble is occurred in the tables management screen.

How do we use the shortcode at the outer the post content?

The shortcodes of this plugin basically work within the post content. If you want to work the shortcodes outside of the post content (as direct built-in template, or in the widget), you should insert code below.

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
  global $cdbt;
  add_action( 'init', array( $cdbt, 'cdbt_pre_shortcode_render' ), 10, 2 );
}

How can we protect the “wp-admin” directory by using as like “.htaccess”?

Because this plugin is working all Ajax processing via the “wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”, only that file in the “.htaccess” must have been to be able to access.
In that case, please add a description of the following to the “.htaccess” under the “wp-admin”.

<FilesMatch "(admin-ajax.php)$">
  Satisfy Any
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Deny from none
</FilesMatch>

How shall we act on if using custom permalink structure?

When you use this plugin on the site that has custom permalink structure as like “your-domain/custom-path/wp-admin”, you should add code of filter hook below.

function my_cdbt_shortcode_custom_component_options( $component_options, $shortcode_name, $table ){
  if ( is_admin() && $shortcode_name === "cdbt-edit" ) {
    $component_options['actionUrl'] = admin_url( str_replace( '/wp-admin', '', $component_options['actionUrl'] ) );
  }
  return $component_options;
}
add_filter( 'cdbt_shortcode_custom_component_options', 'my_cdbt_shortcode_custom_component_options', 10, 3 );

This is an amazing plugin. thumbs up to the author. However, there is a bug in version 2.1.34 which is the redirect action that takes place when you edit and update on the frontend. The author is tey to fix this issue so I had to use the previous version which is version 2.1.33. This is truly an amazing plugin, I just wish for an improvement in support. Thank you Ka2.
