Dynamic Routes

cbp8092

I'm trying to determine which routes to display based on a column within my datatable. How do I access that column and set that field?

Specific to my example. I want to pass in a Policy ID for a specific route and based on another column in the datatable called committed determine the routes available.

[code]
var oTable = $('#policyDataTable').dataTable({
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "Home/AjaxHandler",
"bProcessing": true,
"bFilter": true,
"bPaginate": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aoColumns": [
{
"mData": "0", //Policy ID
"bSearchable": false,
"bSortable": false,
"mRender": function (oObj) {
return getLinks(oObj);
}
}
,{
"mdata": "1",
"name": "Committed",
}
] //close ao columns
});

function getLinks(oObj) {
var test = //Access committed field

//IF committed return these links
//return 'Cancel / Endorse'

//else return these links
//return 'Review';

}
[/code]

Any help is greatly appreciated. I will continue to mess around with it.

I got this.

[code]
var oTable = $('#policyDataTable').dataTable({
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "Home/AjaxHandler",
"bProcessing": true,
"bFilter": true,
"bPaginate": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aoColumns": [
{
"mData": "0", //Policy ID
"bSearchable": false,
"bSortable": false,
"mRender": function (source, type, val) {
return getLinks(source, type, val);
}
}
,{
"mdata": "1",
"name": "Committed",
}
] //close ao columns
});

function getLinks(source, type, val) {
var committedFlag = val[1]; //Access committed field

if(committedFlag == "True")
return 'Cancel / Endorse'
else
return 'Review';

}
[/code]

"mRender": function (source, type, val)

val - contains the position and value for each element in that row. :-)

Yes, the third parameter of mRender will contain the data pointed to by the mData option. That can be `null` if you wanted to have the column not relate specifically to any data in the table.
