Thank you for the video. It helped me understand this part of wpDataTables a bit more. I have a question about how to use variables to pass a value to a URL link. I have a large database of auto racing events and statistics. When I query a race season schedule, for example, the result contains some columns which I hide from the viewer and contain an ID number. Like an ID number for the specific race results, the track location, and winning driver id. I want the visible columns for the race, track, and driver to be a clickable URL which directs the viewer to a different wpDataTable containing more information about that specific id chosen. For example, my current hand-coded PHP ends with something like "race_results.php?rid=2024.LM15" or "driver_details.php?did=136" or "track-detail.php?tid=4" which all include the relative ID # from the original query column which is hidden from the viewer. So far I'm struggling with this and my site is a mix of wpDataTables and links to pages outside the WordPress environment.
Hello, We are not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly, in terms of, if you plan to edit each cell manually and make custom dynamic links which are pre-filtered for a specific column value via URL parameter; For URL pre-filtering via column filters, check this Page : wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/global-search-via-url/ Or you can try our Transform value to make custom links, too; you can see it on this link wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/transform-value/ Another approach - if you wish to create a Parent - Child relation between two tables, and you can set this up to redirect to a Template Page for 'more details', for example a user clicks to choose a row from the parent table - then based on the row ID chosen, it can redirect to a Master Details Template Page, and render a Child Table, which is filtered to only show rows relevant to that chosen row ID. For that, please check our Master Details Parent - Child relation feature on this link : wpdatatables.com/documentation/addons/master-detail-tables/ If you have any additional questions, please open a ticket and write to our Technical Support, they can help with this. In case if you are a wpDataTables premium user, please open the ticket on this link tmsplugins.ticksy.com/submit/#100004195 If you don't have an active licence, just open a pre-purchase ticket on this link tmsplugins.ticksy.com/submit/#100010481 and it won't ask for licence code. Kind regards.

Hello,
We are not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly, in terms of, if you plan to edit each cell manually and make custom dynamic links which are pre-filtered for a specific column value via URL parameter;
For URL pre-filtering via column filters, check this Page : wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/global-search-via-url/
Or you can try our Transform value to make custom links, too; you can see it on this link wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/transform-value/
Another approach - if you wish to create a Parent - Child relation between two tables, and you can set this up to redirect to a Template Page for 'more details', for example a user clicks to choose a row from the parent table - then based on the row ID chosen, it can redirect to a Master Details Template Page, and render a Child Table, which is filtered to only show rows relevant to that chosen row ID.
For that, please check our Master Details Parent - Child relation feature on this link : wpdatatables.com/documentation/addons/master-detail-tables/
