$(document).ready(function() {
var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
"ajax": "php/table.Log_Rec.php",
"table": "#Log_Rec",
"fields": [
{
"label": "Date",
"name": "LogDate", // epoch datetime (milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970)
"type": "date"
// what goes here?
// I need to set the date and the time
},
{
"label": "Driver ID",
"name": "LogDriver",
"type": "text"
},
The following "render" code works well in dataTable using moment(Number(data)).format('lll')...
Took much experimenting to figure this out...
$('#Log_Rec').dataTable( {
"dom": "Tfrtip",
"ajax": "php/table.Log_Rec.php",
"columns": [
{
"data": "LogDate",
"render": function(data)
{ return moment(Number(data)).format('lll'); }
},
{
"data": "LogDriver"
},

Ideally you would feed the date plug-in that you are using a format that it understands. Is that possible? It looks like you are using the Editor PHP libraries so you could use the formatters to convert the date into a useable format on the client-side.
Alternatively, you could use
fields.data
as a function much in the same way as your have usedcolumns.render
as a function - but it has more complexity in that you need to handle the setting of data as well!Allan
These forms and dataTables are created using the useful Generator.
This makes it easy to layout the foundation, however I am lost when it comes to more complex issues without wasting HUGE amounts of time trying to research and figure it out. I have just a background knowledge of PHP, JS, very little CSS or web design in general.
What I really need is to contract someone with a good working knowledge using this product and extending the grids and forms I create. Several forms and grids will require a join to other MySQL tables to populate fields correctly. I have already mocked this behavior using KoolPHP but prefer this product's look, response and modern code base.
Do you have a "Help Wanted" section or how do you suggest I proceed attracting the right person?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
There isn't a Help Wanted section for this site at the moment. Normally I would be happy to take a look at it myself, but I'm fully committed already for the next north or so. You could try posting on ODesk or similar.
Alternatively perhaps I can show how to get one setup and you can then use that as a basis for doing the others?

I would be very grateful if you could help me out when you can.
Do you have an email where I can send you the particulars, codes and other infos?
I could certainly learn from actual examples based in my projects. There aren't that many really...
I have already learned how to make the checkbox function properly, getting and setting the value from the DB. This was huge!
Thanks
Sure - allan @ this-domain.net will get to me.
