Master-Detail Tables for wpDataTables

Master-Detail Tables is a premium add-on for the wpDataTables plugin that transforms any standard table into an interactive and organized data experience. This add-on allows you to display advanced relationships between data within the same table in WordPress, offering master-detail views where clicking on a main row expands detailed secondary information related to that record.

The extension is designed for websites that handle large volumes of information and need to present it in a clean and accessible way. With Master-Detail Tables, you can hide less relevant columns in the main view without losing any data: users can access all information with a simple click on the row or on a dedicated button. Details can be displayed in a popup, on a separate page or post, or even in a secondary table with parent-child relationships.

Among its most notable features are opening details by clicking on a row or button, full customization of the detailed view layout through a template editor with placeholders, and the ability to send data via GET or POST parameters. With the GET method, each table record gets a unique and directly accessible URL, making it easy to share specific information without having to navigate the entire table. Additionally, the option to send data from parent and child tables allows you to create complex hierarchical structures with tabular and non-tabular views.

This add-on is ideal for product catalogs, employee or customer profiles, invoices and orders, surveys and forms, or any scenario where you need to show summarized data with the ability to drill down into full details. Its configuration is simple: just enable the Master-Detail option in the table settings, select the columns to be shown in the expanded view, and choose the desired display mode.

Master-Detail Tables keeps the main table clean and visually appealing, significantly improving the user experience by allowing you to explore related information without cluttering the interface. It is the perfect solution for those who need to present complex data elegantly and functionally in WordPress.
