Copy and Export Don't See New Data After DataTables Refreshed

hwankle

I am using Table Tools 2 with DataTables 1.7.6 and everything seems to work fine until the the source DataTables object is refreshed with a new recordset. After the refreshed data displays on the screen, the Copy and Export features still output the original dataset.

How can I cause the TableTools plugin to refresh itself whenever I refresh the data in the associated DataTable?

Thanks!

I'd very much appreciate if someone could post a solution to the same problem as hwankle posted.
I've modified the TableTools 'export' button to refresh teh DataTables data via ajax call. However, even when i see the table's data refreshed, TableTools saves the old data to file.

[code]
var fetchMessages, oTable;

oTable = jQuery("#client-detail").dataTable({
'bProcessing': true,
'bServerSide': true,
'bRetrieve': false,
'sServerMethod': 'POST',
'sAjaxSource': 'http://localhost:3000/admin/clients/2/client_detail.json?records_requested=contacts&client_id=2',
'sDom': 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
'oTableTools': {
'sSwfPath': '/swf/copy_csv_xls.swf',
'aButtons': [
{
'sExtends': 'xls',
'sFileName': 'ExpressText - *.xls',
'sTitle': 'ET (Admin Export)',
'sButtonText': 'Export Messages (Excel Format .XLS)',
'sToolTip': "Export your clients' data",
'fnClick': function(nButton, oConfig, oFlash) {
console.log('export xls button clicked');
fetchMessages();
this.fnSetText(oFlash, this.fnGetTableData(oConfig));
return console.log('--oconfig is: ' + oConfig[0]);
}
}
]
},
'sScrollY': '350px',
'iDisplayLength': 25,
'oLanguage': {
'sLengthMenu': 'Purchases Per Page _MENU_ '
},
'sPaginationType': 'full_numbers'
});

fetchMessages = function() {
console.log('- fetching contacts for dataTable ');
oTable.fnReloadAjax('http://localhost:3000/admin/clients/2/client_detail.json?records_requested=inbox&client_id=2');
return setTimeout(function() {
return console.log('--delay 3000 ms');
}, 3000);
};
