accent insensitive filter

dede26589

hi,

is it possible to do filter that is accent insensitive ?

Thanks

allan

Interestingly I just wrote a plug-in for exactly that today :-)

https://github.com/DataTables/Plugins/blob/master/filtering/type-based/accent-neutralise.js

It requires DataTables 1.10 which is pre-beta and can be obtained form the downloads page.

Let me know how you get on with it.

thanks but , im using 1.9 version, so how to do for accent insensitive filters ?

allan

I'm not sure that 1.9 has that ability. I've never tried it at least...

so, in "DataTables-1.9.4/media/src/core/" folder i have the core.filter.js.
How to do with a plugin in order to override a function inside that file ?
Something like that :

jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.myfilter{

// override the _fnDataToSearch ( sData, sType ) function

}

allan

Rather than modifying the core, I would suggest you use a type based filter as described here: http://datatables.net/development/filtering - which is basically what my 1.10 solution above does.

with $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push( function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) ,
how to do to get the filter string typed by the user ?
