Description

Basis Tables provides a modern table editor inspired by TablePress, with a focus on speed and admin UX:

  • Inline editing: click any cell, type, and it saves automatically via AJAX without page reload
  • Context menu on right-click: copy/paste, add/delete rows/columns, duplicate, set column values
  • Column visibility, header sorting, per-column filter icon in header
  • Modules system to toggle optional features
  • Accessibility: ARIA live region, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to save cell; Ctrl/Cmd+S for row), compact view

Developer-friendly:
– Nonce-protected AJAX endpoints
– Migrations ensure DB schema integrity automatically
– Debug logging built-in (toggleable): see AJAX requests and errors in the console

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t values save?

  • Ensure JavaScript loads in the admin (no console errors). Built-in logging prints [BasisTables] lines.
  • Nonces must be valid; reloading the page regenerates them. If you use persistent admin tabs, try a refresh.
  • The plugin self-heals DB schema on admin requests; if tables came from an older version, the schema will be upgraded.

Does it work like TablePress?

We aim for a familiar UI. Some features are still in progress. Feedback welcome.
