Regarding the Datatables Plugin for jQuery (and raw JS)

[Plugin here]

I figured out a way to get links in a table via the source spreadsheet. I'm not sure if there's another way that's better than this method, but, it's what I did.

So, here's what the end result datatable looks like vs its information.

As you can see, I have 2 more columns on the source sheet than I do the display sheet. That's because I didn't designate a column for them, but the plugin still has access to that information.

Meet: Linkit! [Demo] [jQuery.net Page]

LinkIt requires the word that needs to be automatically linked and the target URL. Which is what I have in those last 2 columns.

Linkit was used within the datatables function (in the callbacks), so it had access to the words I needed to link.

And, yeah, that's all well and good, but it only works for 1 link per cell. Otherwise, it just won't work.

Wellll, today, I figured it out!

I wanted to try and tackle this sort of thing eventually, and this was the perfect opportunity. How did I do it? A vanilla JS loop. That's probably not surprising, but you might be a little at a loss as to where to put it and how to execute it. At least, you would be if you're as inexperienced as I am.

Just after a conditional statement (verifying if the URL data exists) with the row and column within the loop.

There may be a method using each, with simpler syntax. Here's the thing: I'm absolutely terrible at getting those functions right. They reduce me to tears. So, this is definitely not gonna be the only approach. Just keep in mind that the row/column part will end up inside of the loop.

Also: DataTables is still being updated, though the LinkIt script was last touched like a decade ago. There are many plugins that do the same thing, however, so you might wanna use those if you get stuck using the one I suggested. EDIT: Have some code I made to make a list out of stuff in a cell.

Separated each "chunk" I wanted in a list with specific brackets (that I know I won't use later in the strings ever, you can do it w any 2 characters u want tho), and used this data rendering technique above. It separates the string into a list (well, more technically speaking, an array) by cutting sections off by the delimiter (the first square bracket, in this case.) Then, I knock off the one at the end. "Trim" gets rid of whitespace (space marks) at the beginning and end of a string, so that there's no chance I'll have a URL that's screwed up with an accidental space.
