grid/icon view using datatables

nekapoor

Hello,

I really like the feature set behind datatables (ajax loading, the pagination abilities, filtering, etc.), but I was hoping to visually display my data differently. Specifically, I wanted to use a jquery plugin called gridster (http://gridster.net/), which basically allows you to display data in drag and drop tile format. While the drag and drop functionality isn't of importance to me, laying out data in this tiled format would be great. But I wanted to maintain the datatables backend that would retrieve data.

I don't know if this is possible or is even the best way to display my data, while maintaining the pagination and ajax loading and filtering capabilities, but if you have any ideas, please let me know!

Thank you!

Currently no. Ultimately yes, that is the plan for DataTables, to provide that core ability, but that's likely several years down the line (unless someone wants to sponsor the development work?!). Fundamentally at the moment DataTables is a traditional row x columns table display only.
