fnCellRender does not work on buttons that "sExtends": "collection",

Steve_Webtron

If I try to use a button collection, the fnCellRender does not work on the items in the collection.
Even if the collection is only 1 button
Even if the fnCellRender would fire on that sExtends Type ie: "csv" or "xls"

Also the fnCellRender does not fire on type: "print"

I guess I solved my own problem after 2 days...

I had to put the fnCellRender inside the aButtons inside the collection...
it would be nice if we could define 1 function to work on all types of buttons in the collection without attaching it to each one individually...

Yup - that's a bug. I'll get this fixed shortly.

Oops - I misunderstood the question when I wrote my response originally. You are correct, the collection buttons do not extend their properties for the parent. I agree they probably should, but that's a major new feature to be added rather than a little bug fix. It is something I will add in future though!
