Page Numbering

mediatomcat

Hi,

I am leaving a table to another page and then returning and would like to know what parameter I can set to set the correct page number. I am able to show the right data, by using the iStart and iLength parameters, but even though the data is page 2 data, then buttons at the bottom still say page 1.

Any ideas?

It sounds like what you want may be http://datatables.net/reference/api/page() .

I tried this, but it hangs the page on Processing:

"fnPreDrawCallback": function( oSettings ) {
var table = $('#datatable_tabletools').DataTable();
table.page( 'next' ).draw( false );
}

We talked about this by e-mail a bit, but for anyone else reading, the stateSave feature will handle paging. Enable state saving and then when you come back to the page the state (sorting, paging and filtering) will be restored.

Thanks Allen. Good quick feedback.

The way to set the page if you are not using stateSave:

oT.fnPageChange( 1 ); // 1 being page 2

Yes, the method you are using will still work, but I guess the question is, how to you know what page to jump to? If you always want to jump to page 2, then your call above should work okay.

I am using a session to pass the value:
oT.fnPageChange( <?php echo ($_SESSION['pageNumber']; ?> );
