Filtering server side fed DataTables

bahadirarslan

Hi all,
I have a big problem about DataTables filtering.

My DataTables is fed from server with serverside pagination. So at first request server sends only first 50 rows. There isn't any problem about sending data or paging. But filtering makes me crazy because both plugins and default DataTables columnFilter work with loaded data, especially in select filters. As you can guess, this causes a very big problem, naturally select filters don't contain values which are not loaded to DataTables yet.

So could i provide select filter values seperately?

I believe i'm not the first one who tries to achieve this. I believe there is a way which i couldn't see yet.
