Hello,
DataTables is a great plugin, and I've really enjoyed using it so far. I'm a very new programmer with no experience with tabletools or swf paths whatsoever. I'm trying to implement Table Tools to print/export/etc but so far only print is working for me. Most solutions have said that means the swf path is incorrect. But I have no idea what to put as my swf path. Could anybody please help? Sorry for such a basic question. :(
Here are my plugins and script for dataTables.

$(document).ready(function () {

"tableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf"
}
});
});

Where is the SWF file on your server?
The above code suggests that it is in the web root directory inside a directory called
swf.Allan
Well I believe the swf file is under "\*****1\dfs\Users*****.******\Downloads\DataTables-1.10.2\DataTables-1.10.2\extensions\TableTools\copy_csv_xls_pdf" but when I put that in front of sSwfPath, it still isn't working. :/
To be blunt, I'm not totally sure what a swf path is and how I can find it on my computer...
Is the SWF file available inside the http documents directory for your web-server (I am assuming you are using a web-server, the swf file won't work using
file://- that's an Adobe security restriction)? If so, what is that full path and also the path to your http docs?Allan
