When click on button redirect to new page but POST variable from selected row(s) in table

brisc101

First off, this is a great tool. Great support for this tool as well.
I've been looking on the forums and I can't quite seem to find what I am trying to do. I've always worked in php, but not great at JS.

I created a "Edit device" button, and when it's clicked I want to redirect to another page (manage.php) and I want to pass data to that manage.php with the contents of only the selected rows from the table. I just need the first column to be passed (Model).

Basically I want the Edit button to do this

I've found that I can use fnClick, but I'm not sure how to compile the selected rows only and post the data to manage.php.

[code]
"fnClick" : function (nButton, oConfig, flash) {
// Is there a better way to do this?
// window.location.replace("manage.php?id="??);
}
[/code]

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Thought I would post my code, works great for me. This passes all selected rows (sData) seperated by a comma and opens manage.php

[code]
"fnClick": function ( nButton, oConfig ) {
var oTT = TableTools.fnGetInstance( 'example' );
var sData = oTT.fnGetSelectedData();

if (sData.length = 1) {
window.location.href = "manage.php?search="+ sData;
return false;
}
}

[/code]

Depending on how many rows you have selected, sData is pretty big. I ended up parsing the data that I needed in manage.php as I couldn't figure out how to just pass the first column (Model) only to manage.php

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

Same problem here. Though I want to transfer data through POST method by .ajax()..

Any guidance on this question are welcome. :-)

So when you click on a button, you want to send an Ajax request? You would override the fnClick function for the button ( `{ sExtend: 'div', fnClick: function ( button, conf ) { ... } );` ) and put your Ajax call inside the fnClick handler.

I just want to ask what code do we need to write in the phpfile (in this case manage.php) to get the data.

Thanks
