Sneak Peek of the New DataTables Add-on

Published: May 25, 2015 Hesham Zebida

Since WPRichSnippets is used to serve different types of websites, our members always asking for better and different ways to display their review entries. Fortunately, we can make this possible by extending the plugin functionality via add-ons.

We had a Ranking Table add-on for a while, which has been used by several members. But it’s not supporting display of big data, so we thought to come up with a new add-on to allow displaying big data with pagination and search functionality. We’ve found DataTables jQuery to be the best for our add-on.

DataTables Add-on

The new coming DataTables add-on will allow you to:

  • Display entries in a sortable table.
  • Have pagenation.
  • Have a search functionality.
  • Have control over what elements to show.

The DataTables add-on has a shortcode to display the table with many useful parameter to give you control over what type of data to display, it will work great on the front or home page of your website, also you can dedicate special pages to list entries of different types on different data tables.

We’ve working on finalizing the new DataTables add-on to be released this week, so stay tuned.
