About TableQuill
From the official readme · v0.1.0Description
TableQuill separates reusable typed Datasets from their presentation Views. A dynamic block renders semantic table HTML, while optional JavaScript adds search, sorting, and pagination.
Initial-release source workflows include:
- Live, publish-only queries for posts, pages, and public custom post types.
- Pasted CSV and TSV stored as independent TableQuill Dataset snapshots.
- Public CSV/TSV URL preview and snapshot import with explicit manual refresh.
- Explicit read-only TablePress snapshot import, comparison, and re-import.
Imported rows remain TableQuill data. They are not transformed into posts, pages, custom post types, terms, users, or other WordPress records.
Free includes six styles, four starter templates, accessibility, and responsive behavior. The separate Pro plugin supplies its extended library and paid implementations; that executable code is absent from the WordPress.org package.
The separate Pro plugin can add date ranges, multiple taxonomy clauses, and allowlisted scalar fields to WordPress queries. Custom fields appear only when site/integration code explicitly allowlists their raw scalar values. TableQuill does not infer safety from WordPress or ACF REST settings; protected, complex, and unlisted values remain unavailable.
The separate Pro plugin can promote a snapshot Dataset to a bounded indexed engine while retaining canonical JSON for editing and recovery. Promotion never creates posts or changes View/block identities, and administrators can return to the simple engine.
External Services
Public CSV/TSV URLs
When an administrator previews, imports, or refreshes a public CSV/TSV URL, TableQuill sends a server-side GET to that URL and up to two validated redirects. A Pro schedule may repeat the request only when enabled by an administrator. Destinations receive the site’s IP address, the TableQuill version and site home URL in the user agent, standard HTTP metadata, and available ETag/Last-Modified values. Administrators should review the selected provider’s service, terms, privacy policy, and redirects before use.
Installation
- Upload and activate the TableQuill plugin.
- Add a TableQuill Table block or open TableQuill in the WordPress admin.
- Create a live WordPress query or import a tabular snapshot.
- Choose a View style and responsive behavior, then publish the block.
Frequently asked questions
Does importing data create WordPress posts?
No. Imported rows stay in TableQuill’s own Dataset storage. Only the WordPress query source reads existing posts, pages, and public custom post types, and it never mutates them.
Does a TablePress import stay synchronized?
No automatic synchronization is implied. TableQuill creates an independent snapshot and provides an explicit compare/re-import action. It never writes to the TablePress source table.
Can a public CSV URL refresh automatically?
Manual import and refresh are included in Free. The installed Pro package can enable hourly, twice-daily, or daily refresh through WordPress Cron. A failed refresh keeps the last successful rows and records the failure for an administrator.
What happens to data on uninstall?
TableQuill does not automatically erase user Datasets or Views during uninstall.
What happens if a Pro licence expires?
Features and editing shipped in an installed TableQuill Pro package remain usable. Licence status governs acquisition, downloads, updates, support, checkout, and account services; it does not turn installed Pro functionality off.
