This tutorial will show you how you can create a dynamic table with the needed information about displayed items, like titles, meta field values, and templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we will create a table for a book-selling website where we will display book titles, their author, and an image gallery. The content will be based on the \u201cBooks\u201d Custom Post Type <\/strong>(CPT<\/strong>)<\/a> built beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n

Things to know<\/div>

You can recreate the described use case with the Only Books<\/strong> dynamic template<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Activate Tables Builder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Initially, check if the Tables Builder <\/strong>is activated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The needed switch is available by following WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Modules > External Modules<\/em><\/strong>. Toggle the Dynamic Tables Builder <\/strong>if it isn\u2019t enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, you can close the pop-up that appears and proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, read the detailed Dynamic Tables Builder Overview<\/strong><\/a> to know more about the Dynamic Tables Builder<\/strong> features.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create Query<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The outset of creating a Dynamic Table <\/strong>is Query Builder<\/strong><\/a>. To create a query<\/a>, navigate to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Query Builder <\/em><\/strong>and add a new query by clicking on the corresponding button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give a title to the query and choose its type. Now, we will pick the \u201cPost Query<\/a>\u201d option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, we will scroll down to the Posts Query <\/strong>section and specify the Post Type <\/strong>to define which post type the table will be created for. For instance, we will work with the \u201cBooks\u201d CPT <\/strong>built beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"books<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Look through other customization fields and click the \u201cAdd Query<\/strong>\u201d button to save the changes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build Table<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Navigate to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Tables Builder<\/em><\/strong>. Add a new table by clicking on the similarly named button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the General Settings<\/strong> tab. Give a Name <\/strong>to the table and choose the created query as the source in the Data Query <\/strong>dropdown menu. For instance, we complete a Name <\/strong>field with the \u201cTable\u201d value and pick the just-built \u201cBooks Query\u201d in the Data Query <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push the \u201cFetch Data<\/strong>\u201d button to activate the connection between the query and the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"table<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, it\u2019s time to attach the desired columns to the table. You can do it by going to the next Columns <\/strong>tab and clicking the \u201cNew column<\/strong>\u201d button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we want to display the title of the book. So, we set the \u201cTitle\u201d Column Name <\/strong>correspondingly and choose the \u201cRaw Value\u201d <\/strong>option in the Column Content<\/strong> dropdown menu. Next, select the \u201cPost\/Term\/User\/Object\u201d field in the Data Source<\/strong> dropdown below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, choose a needed field in the Select Field<\/strong>, depending on what content you want to display. For instance, we pick the \u201cPost ID\u201d option. Then, enable the Filter Column Output<\/strong> feature and choose the \u201cGet post\/page link\u201d option in the Filter Callback <\/strong>field. This way, the first column will display the title linked to the post\u2019s Single page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/svg><\/div>
Things to know<\/div>

If you don\u2019t need a clickable title, choose \u201cTitle\u201d in the Select Field<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"title<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The next column we want to show is \u201cAuthor,\u201d which will be pulled from the \u201cBooks\u201d CPT <\/strong>meta field<\/a>. So, we pick the \u201cMeta Field\u201d option in the Data Source <\/strong>field and then select the field’s name. Here, \u201cBook Author.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"author<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also, a ready-made listing template can be added to the dynamic table. For instance, we want to add a \u201cGallery\u201d Listing template<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>content as the column.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create this template, open the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings <\/em><\/strong>page in the new tab and press the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Setup Listing Item <\/strong>pop-up, we choose \u201cPosts\u201d at the Listing Source<\/strong>, complete the From Post type<\/strong> field with the item for which the table is being made (here, \u201cBooks\u201d Custom Post Type<\/strong>), write the Listing item name<\/strong>, and press the \u201cCreate Listing Item<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"setup<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add the required content to the template, style it, and save all changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, return to the Tables Builder <\/strong>and choose the \u201cTemplate\u201d option in the Column Content <\/strong>field. Select a needed template in the Column Template <\/strong>field. Here, we pick the Listing template <\/strong>named \u201cBook Gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gallery<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, adjust the available settings in the Table Styles <\/strong>tab. You can always style up the tables in the Elementor page builder if the suggested modifications aren\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can set Vertical Align <\/strong>and Horizontal Align <\/strong>for both the Heading <\/strong>and Cell <\/strong>of the table columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"table<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also click the \u201cReload Preview<\/strong>\u201d button to check the created table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"reload<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, press the \u201cCreate Table<\/strong>\u201d button to save the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, check how to display posts with the Posts <\/strong>widget<\/a> from JetElements <\/em>to have more abilities to display posts on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is adding the table to the website. Proceed to the page where you want to place the newly built table.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add Table to Elementor Page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Head to WordPress Dashboard > Pages > Add New<\/em><\/strong>. Name the page and place the Dynamic Table <\/strong>widget in Elementor. Choose the table you have just created as the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After enabling all the required toggles in the Content <\/strong>tab, proceed to the Style <\/strong>tab. Here, you can create a table view to your liking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the Advanced <\/strong>tab as well if additional customizations are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the Elementor table is styled up, click the \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d button and check the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
