## Descripción

BaraTables builds interactive tables and charts from your site data. Use manual 
rows, CSV uploads, WordPress content, or an external MySQL/MariaDB database, then
publish with a shortcode.

Import a JSON, XML, HTML, CSV, TXT, or ZIP export from another table plugin or a
spreadsheet to rebuild an existing table.

Tables can include search, sorting, pagination, filters, export buttons, column 
visibility controls, and custom control layouts. Charts draw from any BaraTables
table and embed separately with their own shortcode.

**Features:**

 * Build tables from WordPress content, CSV files, manual data, or external MySQL/
   MariaDB databases
 * Add search, sorting, pagination, and dropdown, multi-select, checkbox, or radio
   filters, including filtering by category or tag
 * Export table data to CSV or Excel, copy it, or print it
 * Reorder columns and control column visibility
 * Restrict WordPress-content, CSV, and external-database rows by user role or user
   metadata
 * Remember table state between visits, and control scrolling, column sizing, and
   row loading limits
 * Create bar, horizontal bar, line, area, radar, pie, donut, treemap, scatter, 
   bubble, heatmap, funnel, and Gantt charts with ECharts
 * Customize table controls, labels, layout, and display options
 * Light frontend styles that are easy to override with CSS
 * Import an existing table from another plugin or a spreadsheet (JSON, XML, HTML,
   CSV, TXT, or ZIP)

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `baratables` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Tables in the admin menu and create your first table.
 4. Use the shortcode `[bara_table id="your-table-slug"]` to embed it.

## FAQ

### What data sources are supported?

CSV files from the media library, manual data entry via the admin editor, WordPress
content, and external MySQL/MariaDB databases.

### Which table plugin exports can I import?

For TablePress, use a single-table JSON export. Ninja Tables classic and drag-and-
drop JSON exports are supported; export an externally connected table as CSV. WP
Table Builder XML or CSV, Visualizer CSV, Supsystic JSON or CSV, League Table XML,
and data-only CSV exports from wpDataTables and Tablesome are also supported. HTML
table exports can be imported directly. For a ZIP containing multiple tables, BaraTables
previews and imports the first supported table and tells you how many were found.

Imports rebuild the table data and compatible display settings. Plugin-specific 
styling, formulas, shortcodes, charts, and external data connections are not carried
over. Export XLS or XLSX files as CSV first.

An upload or pasted import can be up to 5 MB. ZIP files can contain up to 50 entries,
with each entry up to 5 MB and up to 20 MB total when expanded.

### How many rows can a table load?

Each table loads up to 1,000 rows by default. The Options tab lets administrators
choose a limit from 1 to 10,000 rows. The limit applies to tables and charts across
every data source.

### Can I link to a filtered view of a table?

Yes. Filtering or searching a table updates the page address as you go, so you can
copy it and share that exact view. You can also build the link yourself using `btbl_filter[
column-slug]`, `btbl_search`, and `btbl_search_cols`.

### How do I add a chart?

Create a table first, then go to Charts and create a new chart linked to that table.
Use `[bara_chart id="your-chart-slug"]` to embed it.

### Can I customize the table appearance?

Yes. The Options tab provides controls for striping, hover effects, borders, compact
mode, pagination style, button labels, search text, and info display. You can also
arrange layout zones for full control over where controls appear.

### Can I style BaraTables with custom CSS?

Yes. BaraTables ships minimal frontend styles so your theme stays in control. Use
your theme stylesheet, the Site Editor, or additional custom CSS to adjust colors,
spacing, typography, borders, and button styles.

### Where can I see examples?

Visit https://ktisisweb.com/baratables/ for screenshots, feature notes, and styling
guidance, or use the Live Preview button on the WordPress.org plugin page for a 
temporary interactive demo.

## Historial de cambios

#### 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, keeping it fast on sites
   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 instead of discarded.
 * 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 previous data, ID, and linked charts together.
 * Duplicating the same 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
   looking like an empty table.
 * If an interactive table or chart script fails to load, the loading screen clears
   and shows the available 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 scroll heights carry over.
 * Table wording follows your site’s language: the search label, the “Show … entries”
   selector, the filters heading, and the result summary. This includes tables you
   have already saved, and keeps any wording you typed yourself.
 * 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 table 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, including columns 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, and those columns show their title, name, or contents.
 * Manual data grids hold up to 25,000 cells, and the editor tells you when your
   server’s form-field limit is too low for a grid that size.
 * Two tables on the same page each 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 when the table has more rows than the 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 that table’s editor.

Improvements:

 * A table loads only the export, column-reorder, and dropdown-filter libraries 
   it uses, cutting about 265KB from a typical page.
 * Large tables sort, page, and filter faster.
 * The term picker lists the first 200 terms of a taxonomy, plus any you have already
   selected.
 * The “Strict matching” filter option has been 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 or XML
   table export, or a CSV file, and BaraTables creates a matching table for you.
 * Editable Table ID and Chart ID: rename a table’s or chart’s shortcode ID after
   it is created. Linked charts update automatically, and a notice reminds you to
   update any [bara_table] / [bara_chart] shortcodes already placed in your content.
 * Reorder manual-data rows directly in the editor with up and down controls.
 * Manual-table column headers are now translation-ready and follow the site language.

Improvements:

 * Wide manual-data tables now scroll horizontally while keeping the row number 
   and row controls in view.
 * Paste tabular data straight from a spreadsheet into the manual-data grid.
 * Smoother admin experience: 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 in numeric order).
 * 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.
