You can convert a custom post type table to a jQuery DataTable by following these steps:
- Include the jQuery and DataTables libraries in your WordPress theme or plugin.
- Create a table with the custom post type data. You can do this by using a
WP_Query
to retrieve the custom post type posts, and then looping through the posts to generate the table rows. - Convert the table to a DataTable. You can do this by using the
DataTable()
method, passing in the table element as a parameter.
Here is an example of what the code could look like:
phpCopy code<table id="custom-post-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'your-custom-post-type',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
?>
<tr>
<td><?php the_title(); ?></td>
<td><?php the_field( 'field_1' ); ?></td>
<td><?php the_field( 'field_2' ); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#custom-post-table').DataTable();
});
</script>
This code creates a table with the custom post type data, with columns for the post title, and two custom fields. The table is then converted to a DataTable by calling the DataTable()
method on the table element.
