Record Selections for Users#521

The function I was looking for with wpdatatables is for the user / member of the site to be able to “favorite” or save (checkbox?) specific records to follow them for updates. Similar to what you would do with a real estate listing etc. — I now know you do not have that ability so my workaround is creating a matching post page for each record, and allowing users to manage the saves at that level.

The favorites feature has actually been suggested before, feel free to upvote it: #161

Your workaround sounds interesting. By the way, if you have the full version of wpDataTables and the Master-Detail addon, my plugin (new improved version coming soon) can create clean URLs for each record: https://antero.eu/seo-for-wdt-md/

I’m one of those users who would surely be needing the favourites functionality in my implementation. However, I’d like to enable my site members to create also public favorites lists, so for now I’m planning to achieve this with a bookmark plugin, but currently it needs a little bit of customization to make this work.
