BaraTables

變更記錄

1.3.1

Fixes:

• Dragging a column no longer leaves a group search on the wrong columns.
• Merge tags like {{meta:Price_USD}} now resolve mixed-case keys.
• A chart-only page no longer flashes unstyled content.
• Switching data sources no longer keeps old columns selected.
• A meta column missing from recent posts is no longer dropped on save.
• A remembered search is now visible and clearable.
• Custom Query date filters now apply as written.
• Ninja Tables custom filter values now import as dropdown options.
• The chart preview shows draft charts instead of Chart not found.

Developer:

• Removed the PHP adapters deprecated in 1.2.5; use the column-record API instead.

1.3.0

New:

• New block editor blocks: add any table or chart from the block picker instead of pasting a shortcode.
• Wide tables can collapse into stacked, expandable rows on small screens.
• Export any table to PDF with a new Export PDF button.
• Tables match your theme automatically: colors follow its palette, with an optional custom accent color per table.

Improvements:

• Table pages no longer load jQuery, and dropdown filters use a lighter picker, so they load faster.
• The table engine is now DataTables 3; pages with export buttons load fewer files.
• Auto-built dropdown and checkbox filters cap at 250 options, so a near-unique column cannot make the page unresponsive.
• The editor’s Options tab is reorganized, and every field shows its default until you change it.
• Tables and charts work better with screen readers: proper column headers, an announced optional caption, labelled charts, and a readable fallback when JavaScript is off.
• Publishing a table for the first time shows its shortcode and block.

Fixes:

• Day-first dates such as 25/12/2026 now format correctly with “Format as date”.
• Chart values written with a decimal comma (1.234,56) plot at the correct magnitude.
• Tab-delimited files import as separate columns instead of one long column.
• An invalid external database edit no longer silently keeps the previous connection, and clearing every field removes it.
• Search limited to chosen columns follows columns you move by dragging.
• The settings gear no longer appears on a switched-off control when its inner option is still checked.
• Layout builder drop zones sit where their labels say.

1.2.5

New:

• Imports WP Table Builder XML, Ninja Tables drag-and-drop JSON, Visualizer CSV, Supsystic JSON or CSV, and League Table XML exports.
• Reads table exports from HTML and ZIP files.

Improvements:

• Chart-only pages load faster and large-table searches stay more responsive.
• The chart editor searches table choices as you type, so it stays fast with many tables.

Fixes:

• Empty or incomplete Ninja Tables exports no longer become a live table of WordPress posts.
• Quoted commas and multiline headings no longer break semicolon-delimited imports.
• Hidden columns, footer values, intentional blank rows, and nested cell values are preserved.
• A failed import no longer leaves an incomplete published table behind.
• The plugin activates normally on PHP 7.4 through PHP 8.1.
• A failed table or chart save keeps its data, ID, and linked charts.
• Duplicating a table or chart more than once gives every copy its own ID.
• Missing CSV files and external database failures show a clear error instead of an empty table.
• If an interactive table or chart script fails to load, the loading screen clears to show the table or an error.
• Renaming a Table ID no longer removes backslashes from linked chart names.
• Manual column headings saved by early versions follow the site language after a direct upgrade.

Security:

• Validates the contents of table import uploads before processing them.

1.2.4

• Adds radar, heatmap, and treemap charts.

1.2.3

Improvements:

• Fixed scroll height is now a Table controls option, with its height and collapse settings inside. Existing heights carry over.
• Table wording follows your site’s language: the search label, the “Show … entries” selector, the filters heading, and the result summary. Saved tables are included, and wording you typed yourself is kept.
• Tables load without a flash of unstyled content.
• Keyboard and screen reader support: labelled filter controls and option groups, Enter or Space to open the settings gear, focus outlines on taxonomy chips, and arrow keys to arrange the layout.
• Pages with a table and its chart, or the same table twice, load faster on large tables.
• The “Clear filters” and “Edit Table” buttons are styled consistently on any theme.

Security:

• Password-protected post content is withheld from visitors who have not entered the password.
• Post passwords cannot be displayed as a column, including through an imported file.

Fixes:

• Hiding a column’s heading keeps the custom heading you typed.
• Sticky posts are excluded, so a table stays within its row limit.
• Column filters follow their column when a visitor reorders columns.
• Date columns sort by date, even with empty cells.
• The Column visibility button reveals columns hidden in the table setup.
• Custom meta keys with capital letters or dots (such as Price_USD) match your data.
• Media tables list your attachments.

1.2.2

New:

• Row-level access control on Custom WP Query tables.

Fixes:

• Filtering by category or tag.
• Pages using Advanced Custom Fields Post Object, Relationship, Taxonomy, or Repeater columns load correctly; the columns show their title, name, or contents.
• Manual data grids hold up to 25,000 cells, and the editor warns when your server’s form-field limit is too low for a grid that size.
• Two tables on the same page keep their own filters in the shareable link.
• An import that fails to save can be retried without uploading the file again.
• Importing a large table keeps more of its rows and columns.
• Ninja Tables exports apply their saved search, sorting, and pagination settings.
• Editing an external database connection keeps your column and filter setup.
• Saved table state keeps sorting, search, page, and page length between visits.
• A restored search respects the columns you set as searchable.
• “Value overrides” apply to CSV and external database tables.
• “Format as date” is available on CSV, external database, manual, and custom field columns.
• Date columns show the time of day, and timestamps use your site’s timezone.
• Blank lines in a CSV file are skipped.
• Custom WP Query tables load up to the row limit you set.
• On CSV and external database tables, row-level access control shows every row a visitor may see, even beyond the row limit.
• Shareable filter links work for a value of 0.
• Unnamed columns from a headerless CSV follow the site language.
• The editor preview uses the same export button labels as the published table.
• Creating a table from an import opens its editor.

Improvements:

• A table loads only the export, column-reorder, and dropdown-filter libraries it uses, cutting about 265KB per page.
• Large tables sort, page, and filter faster.
• The term picker lists the first 200 terms of a taxonomy, plus any already selected.
• The “Strict matching” filter option is removed; filters match whole values exactly.
• A column order set by dragging applies to the current visit only.

Security:

• A column heading taken from a CSV file’s header row could run script in the table editor. Column headings are now escaped everywhere they appear.
• Table and chart posts are no longer listed by the REST API. Anonymous requests could retrieve their ids, titles, and slugs.
• An external database table with no columns selected no longer publishes the column holding its access tokens.
• Row-level access control was accepted but not applied on manual-data tables. The setting has been removed there.
• Changing a table’s data source could leave row-level access control switched on but unenforced, publishing rows it was set to hide. It now applies only to the source it was set up for, and a table whose saved settings cannot be enforced shows no rows until you re-save it.
• New tables default to hiding restricted rows from logged-out visitors. Existing tables keep their saved setting.

1.2.1

• Export a table to Excel with a new table button option.
• Five new chart types: horizontal bar, donut, scatter, bubble, and funnel, each with a preview in the chart-type gallery.
• Remember table state: a table can keep its sorting, search, page, and page length.
• New table controls for horizontal scrolling, vertical scroll height, and column auto-sizing.
• Configurable row loading limit per table (default 1,000 rows, up to 10,000).

1.1.1

Fixes:

• “Format as date” displays the formatted date (e.g. “Mar 18, 2026”) on manual data columns.
• Plain numbers such as a year or a count are not read as dates.
• A [bara_table] or [bara_chart] shortcode used without an id shows a “not found” message on WordPress 6.2 through 6.4.
• Importing a file with only a header row, or no rows, creates an empty table.
• Front-end table controls (export buttons, column-visibility menu, “Search in”) and the CSV file picker follow the site language.

Security:

• Hardened the table editor’s “Column heading” field against script injection (XSS).

1.1.0

New:

• Import a table from another table plugin or a spreadsheet: upload a JSON, XML, or CSV export and BaraTables creates a matching table.
• Editable Table ID and Chart ID: rename a table’s or chart’s shortcode ID after creation. Linked charts update automatically, and a notice reminds you to update shortcodes already placed in your content.
• Reorder manual-data rows in the editor with up and down controls.
• Manual-table column headers are translation-ready and follow the site language.

Improvements:

• Wide manual-data tables scroll horizontally while keeping the row number and controls in view.
• Paste tabular data straight from a spreadsheet into the manual-data grid.
• Smoother admin: one-click copy for shortcodes and IDs, a Show/Hide help text preference, and fewer page reloads while configuring a source.

Fixes:

• Numeric columns sort numerically (e.g. 3.15, 3.2, 3.9).
• Far-future dates display correctly.

Security:

• Hardened admin request handling and input validation.

1.0.1

• Improved date formatting controls for WordPress date columns, including support for the site’s default date format.
• Security: hardened frontend table and chart configuration output.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
