Include a button to the export files

flovera

Hello, I have developed the datatables, and I'm using tabletools to generate xls and csv files. But in my table one of the columns is a button how can I display the data of this button inside the xls or csv files? (When I do the exports, this column appears to be empty, obviously is null).

Thanks

You would need to use the fnCellRender method: http://datatables.net/extras/tabletools/button_options#fnCellRender .

Yes Im trying to use that, I have this:

"fnCellRender": function ( sValue, iColumn, nTr, iDataIndex ) {
var valueExport = "";
var data = $(sValue)[0];

var tag = data.tagName;

if(iColumn == 1){

valueExport = data.getAttribute("value");
}

return valueExport;
}

But it doesn't work at all =(

Please help. I've spent a day in this problem and I don't know why is wrong

I solved it!!
The problem was in my fnCellRender function, this is my code (that works):

Code:
"mColumns": [ 0, 1, 2 ],
"fnCellRender": function ( sValue, iColumn, nTr, iDataIndex ) {

if(iColumn == 0){
var data = $(sValue)[0];
var valueExport = data.getAttribute("value");
return valueExport;
}else if(iColumn == 3){
return 0;
}
return sValue;
}


Enjoy ;)
