Hi there,

I’m having trouble getting the datatables plugin to pull up any data.

I have a blank page with a grid on it here: https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=cash-flows&id=pcof&tab=tabs-1

All I’m trying to do is pull up all the data from the cash flows data type and display it on the page.

It seems like the documentation is outdated, referring to tables when you now call them grids?

Hi @harrisonalley,

Thanks for reaching out. The dataTables plugin is a different one than Editable Data Table like Excel.

In order to set up your plugin properly, please use this instructions:

Go to your app settings http://prntscr.com/inntef .
Go to API tab and enable option “This app exposes a Data API” http://prntscr.com/inntz1 .
Choose a data table which you’ll use in Editable Grid.
Go to Data > Privacy and choose fields which will be displayed in your grid http://prntscr.com/innwlr .
Go to Editable Grid settings and set your Data Type, columns and fields Unique ID which you want to display in Grid ( NOTICE! Columns name should be same as they’re in Database, upper and lower case should be respected ) http://prntscr.com/ino4y9 .

And please use our demo app to check on all setups and replicate on your side.

Best,
Alex

Hi, I have a question regarding your datatables plugin for Bubble.io.

Does it have a horizontal scrolling feature since I need to show 10 fields for each record and the horizontal scrolling would make the view looks perfect on mobile devices.

Regards,
Hussain

Hello, @hmasarra
Thanks for your questions.

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to add Horizontal scrolling in the mentioned plugin.

All of the functionality that is integrated into the DataTables plugin, can view on the Live Demo page of the plugin.
Also, please review the Documentation with a detailed description of functional :

One of the methods to display the table and the data on it - Changing the page orientation ( portrait or landscape).

Apologies for this inconvenience.

I just purchased this based on the live demo, but the documentation page gives a 404 error. Is this plugin still supported?

So, I realized I was following an old link that never got updated, I’ve found the new documentation page.
