bootstrap and multiple select checkboxes on old version 1.7.3

joepen

Hi Guys,

Was wondering if you can help.

One of my site is using an old version of Datatables (Version is 1.7.3) that implements a selectable checkbox.

http://tetzfiles.com/temp/datatables/

It was made by user EricTetz and can be seen in this forum:

http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/2156/select-row-checkboxes/p1

Since then I made some minor modifications to it too to make it compatible with our site.
Because of the mobile era my boss decided that we should go responsive. Bootstrap was the choice framework.

I started using datatables about a year ago but seems this old version is 2 years older. Since then you may have imagined that a lot of code work has been made implementing this on the site.

Now my questions is, how do I make this old version compatible with bootstrap? Do I really need to upgrade to latest versions? If so, how do I retain this multiple select checkbox feature? I wish there is something I can do to upgrade without modifying much of this control.

Thanks and regards,

joepen

Have you tried dropping in the bootstrap integration files for DataTables? https://github.com/DataTables/Plugins/tree/master/integration/bootstrap

There is a possibility that they will just work with 1.7.3 - but it is not something I've tried....

Oh ok I haven't tried that. I thought it would just be a straight up CSS mod. Let me try these and see how it works. Will keep you posted.

Sorry for the late response. Been busy with some other tasks.

Thanks.
