Simple Table Manager

Simple Table Manager enables editing table records and exporting them to CSV files through a minimal database interface from your dashboard.

• Simply CRUD table contents on your wp-admin screen
• Search and sort table records
• No knowledge of MySQL or PHP required
• Export table records to a CSV file
• Does not allow users to create tables or change the structure of the table

Simple Table Manager is a tool suited for the initial development phase of a website. It is ideal when you want to ask someone else with no database expertise to keep track of table records on your website. This was the motivation for developing this plugin. Note that to comply with wordpress.org plugin security guidelines, edited and added record fields are filtered through wp_kses_post() to prevent sql injection attacks. In some cases, wanted tags may be filtered out leading to field corruption.

1. Via the Dashboard > Plugins > Add plugin menu page.
2. Or upload the entire 'simple-table-manager' folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
4. On the plugin's 'Settings' page, select the table you want to view and manage.

Filter call examples for developer use: // change a value add_filter( 'tstm_list_field', 'custom_list_field_value', 10, 4 ); function custom_list_field_value( $field_value, $current_table, $column_name, $key_value ) { if( 'wppb_options' == $current_table ) { if( 'option_value' == $column_name ) { if( 7 == $key_value ) { if( $field_value ) { $field_value = "true"; } else { $field_value = "false"; } } } } return $field_value; } // change the default text input for radios add_filter( 'tstm_add_field_html', 'custom_field_html', 10, 4 ); add_filter( 'tstm_edit_field_html', 'custom_field_html', 10, 4 ); function custom_field_html( $field_html, $current_table, $column_name, $field_value, $key_value = true ) { if( 'wppb_options' == $current_table ) { if( 'option_value' == $column_name ) { $column_name = urlencode( $column_name ); if( $field_value ) { $field_html = '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="1" checked> Yes<br>'; $field_html .= '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="0"> No'; } else { $field_html = '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="1"> Yes<br>'; $field_html .= '<input type="radio" name="'.$column_name.'" value="0" checked> No'; } } } return $field_html; } // change the default text input for a checkbox add_filter( 'tstm_add_field_html', 'custom_field_html', 10, 5 ); add_filter( 'tstm_edit_field_html', 'custom_field_html', 10, 5 ); function custom_field_html( $field_html, $current_table, $column_name, $field_value, $key_value = true ) { if( 'wppb_options' == $current_table ) { if( 'option_value' == $column_name ) { if( 7 == $key_value ) { $checked = $field_value ? 'checked' : ''; $field_html = '<input type="hidden" name="'.$column_name.'" value="0">'.PHP_EOL; $field_html .= '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$column_name.'" value="1" '.$checked.'>'.PHP_EOL; } } } return $field_html; }
