Custom colReorder controller and turning off thead reorder

kwisko

Hi,

I have a custom column reorder controller - UL element somewhere in the layout where I do drag'n'drop and using Datatables API send parmeters to plugin to do the reorder on the table.

My question is - can I somehow turn off default reorder effect on thead because my client don't want that, and now I have a problem and a missmatch with my custom controller if someone reorders columns using table header (my component isn't automatically updated because there is no automatic way - just manually)?

Thanks in advance.

I found a hack that works for me at this moment - removed event handlers in colReorder lib:

[code]
/* Add event handlers to the document */
// $(document)
// .on( 'mousemove.ColReorder', function (e) {
// that._fnMouseMove.call( that, e );
// } )
// .on( 'mouseup.ColReorder', function (e) {
// that._fnMouseUp.call( that, e );
// } );
[/code]

That's an interesting point. There isn't the ability to disable the click for dragging the cells at the moment, although it is a good idea!

Until then, your hack will do nicely :-)
