DataTables

Allan thank you so much for your prompt reply, I was able to create a simple JSON structure in RoR. The second issue I have seems like its currently loading all the records in the HTML, how do I make it to not load all load all records. Please advise

Hi Allan, seems like you are the owner of datatable.. so let me first congratulate you on making such a useful plugin that is universal in nature.

I did some homework at my end and found out that in rails we can do the pagination using paginate commands.

now the question is how do I integrate rails pagination with your plugin. I am pasting below the HTML that gets generated using the rails pagination.

I am thinking I just need to wrap the <div class="pagination"> and <a> somewhere in the jquery .. please advise

<div class="pagination"><span class="disabled prev_page">&laquo; Previous</span> <span class="current">1</span> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=2" rel="next">2</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=3">3</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=4">4</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=5">5</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=6">6</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=7">7</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=8">8</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=9">9</a> <span class="gap">&hellip;</span> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=64">64</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=65">65</a> <a href="/ticketlogs?page=2" class="next_page" rel="next">Next &raquo;</a></div>

</div>

Hi guys,

First I want to congratulate Allan with the awesome jquery plugin you developed.
Secondly, I want to thank Chris Warren for the rails_datables plugin he published to simplify the live of a rails developer who want to use the benefits of both worlds.

I am currently switching from the normal datatable setup to the :ajax_source options, because my dataset becomes to large.

In the normal setup next to my object columns I also specified hyperlinks

				<td><%= link_to 'Show', patient %></td>
				<td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_patient_path(patient) %></td>
				<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', patient, :confirm => 'Are you sure ?', :method => :delete %></td>

When I am now migrating to the :ajax_source option, the 'Show' and the 'Edit' link still work,
But the 'Destroy' link troubles me. The "link_to 'Destroy', patient, :confirm => 'Are you sure ?', :method => :delete" statement generates inline javascript:

       '<a href="/patients/2" onclick="if (confirm('Bent u zeker?')) { var f = document.createElement('form'); f.style.display = 'none'; this.parentNode.appendChild(f); f.method = 'POST'; f.action = this.href;var m = document.createElement('input'); m.setAttribute('type', 'hidden'); m.setAttribute('name', '_method'); m.setAttribute('value', 'delete'); f.appendChild(m);var s = document.createElement('input'); s.setAttribute('type', 'hidden'); s.setAttribute('name', 'authenticity_token'); s.setAttribute('value', 'fjixNIJpUvrXzuzryFqyGtY/wKnwOTwpcS0d8UQF6DE='); f.appendChild(s);f.submit(); };return false;">Wis</a>'

and the jquery datatables plugin doesn't like that.

Could you give me a hint how to handle this issue ?
I still want to ask the user for confirmation when, he decides to delete a patient.

Thanks in advance.
