Manual shortcode edit
The shortcode customization tool provides a basic level of functionality. There is more that shortcodes offer.
Here is an empty shortcode:
[sheets2table-render-table csv_file="" columns="" titles="" options=""]
Shortcode Fields
- sheets2table-render-table: This is the name of shortcode that is registered to the sheets2table plugin
- csv_file: The name of the CSV file to display
- columns: The exact name of the column in the CSV file/Google Sheet. Each column is separated by a comma.
- titles: The text displayed in the table generated by the shortcode
- options: Options such as responsive table and always get latest data
Modifying the shortcode
columns: Only the columns listed in the shortcode will be displayed. The columns will be displayed in the order they appear in the shortcode.
titles: The number of elements in the titles should match that in the columns. The text in the title field is what is displayed in the table header.
Example
Standard shortcode
