Can't get fnAddData() to work

acedanger

I've been running into problems getting the fnAddData method to work. What am I missing?

The errors I'm receiving are:
[quote]
DataTables warning (table id="current-data"): Requested unknown parameter '4' from the data source for row 14
DataTables warning (table id="current-data"): Requested unknown parameter '0' from the data source for row 14
[/quote]

Below are my column definitions
[code]
'aoColumnDefs' : [
{
'aTargets' : [ 0 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.mins;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 1 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.serviceType;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 2 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.serviceDescription;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 3 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
var returnVal = '';
switch (oObj.aData.areaType) {
case constants.KIND.FACILITY :
returnVal = constants.AREA_TYPE.FACILITY;
break;
case constants.KIND.GRID :
returnVal = constants.AREA_TYPE.GRID;
break;
case constants.KIND.CITY :
returnVal = constants.AREA_TYPE.CITY;
break;
}
return returnVal;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 4 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.facilityId;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 5 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.areaType === constants.KIND.FACILITY ? '' : oObj.aData.area;
}
}, {
'aTargets' : [ 6 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return utility.isEmpty(oObj.aData.expires) === true ? null :
utility.time.reformatDateTime(oObj.aData.expires, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.s', 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm', false);
}
}, {
'bVisible' : false,
'aTargets' : [ 7 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.expires === null ? '12/31/9999' :
utility.time.reformatDateTime(oObj.aData.expires, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.s', 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm', false);
}
}, {
'bVisible' : false,
'aTargets' : [ 8 ],
'fnRender' : function(oObj) {
return oObj.aData.sequenceId;
}
}
]
[/code]

Here is my fnAddData() method call, without data for my hidden columns:
[code]
$('current-data').fnAddData([
selectedPtaBean_.pta,
selectedPtaBean_.serviceType,
'service type desc',
'G/C/F',
selectedPtaBean_.facilityId,
selectedPtaBean_.area,
selectedPtaBean_.expires
]);
[/code]

Here is my fnAddData() method call, with some dummy values for my hidden columns:
[code]
$('current-data').fnAddData([
selectedPtaBean_.pta,
selectedPtaBean_.serviceType,
'service type desc',
'G/C/F',
selectedPtaBean_.facilityId,
selectedPtaBean_.area,
selectedPtaBean_.expires,
selectedPtaBean_.expires, // would be reformatted...
'99999'
]);
[/code]

What is the value of selectedPtaBean_.pta? Is it null or false or something like that? You might need to specify sDefaultContent (perhaps as an empty string) for these columns.

Ah, so if any of the values are null, would I need to specify a default value with sDefaultContent?

allan

That is correct yes - just a simple empty string would do the business. :-)

Thanks for the clarification. I apologize for the late reply.
