Code snippet

Add a Education Table with Detail Links

Paste the Sawfish table shortcode on any WordPress page, then add the snippet below to make each row clickable. Visitors open a detail page with the full record — just the fields you choose to show.

Step 1 — Add the table shortcode

          
          [sforc-table sf-o="Program__c"

            fields="Name,Field1__c,Field2__c"

            search="true" per-page="20"]

Replace Field1__c and Field2__c with the API names of the Education fields you want to display as columns.

Step 2 — Make rows clickable (optional)

<script type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function() {

  jQuery(document).on('click', '.sforc-row', function() {

    var id = jQuery(this).attr('data-sforclink');

    jQuery("<a href='/detail-page/?sId=" + id + "' target='_blank'></a>")[0].click();

  });

};

</script>

<style>

.sforc-row { cursor: pointer; }

</style>

Clicking a row opens /detail-page/?sId=RECORD_ID in a new tab. Design that page using the Sawfish Section shortcode to display any Education fields you want.

The detail page URL looks like this:

https://yoursite.com/detail-page/?sId=0030K00001u7dSNQAY

The record ID is passed as a URL parameter. Use the Sawfish Section shortcode on that page to pull and display any fields from that specific Education record — great for linking to individual listings without revealing everything in the table.
