Update multiple rows using Customised control button

leacdo

Info: I am using the free version of Editor in order to test it, and I'll get a licence if I can make it work.

I want to display a button to activate users (in the database, it is just a "activated" column set to "0" or "1").

So far so good, I am using the customised control button :

var activateEditor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
  ajax: {
    type: 'PUT',
    url: 'activateUser.php',
  },
  table: "#data-table"
});

  tableTools: {
    sRowSelect: "os",
    aButtons: [
    { sExtends: "editor_edit",   editor: editor },
    { sExtends: "editor_remove", editor: editor },
    {
      sExtends: 'select_single',
      sButtonText: 'Activate',
      fnClick: function () {
        if ( table.row( '.active' ).length !== 0 ) {
          activateEditor
          .edit( table.row('.active').node(), false )
          .submit();
        }
      }
    }
    ]
  }

I can get the row ID with the .edit( table.row('.active').node(), false ) , which is perfect.
But I would like to be able to get multiple rows ids, in order to batch activate users.

So I first turn sExtends: 'select_single' into sExtends: 'select' , but the .edit( table.row('.active').node(), false ) still only returns a single row ID.

The default sExtends: "editor_remove" is quite nice because it returns an array of row Ids, and this is what I want to achieve with my activateEditor function.

For information, I am using Laravel framework to handle the ajax calls.

Multi-row editing is not a feature that is available in Editor 1.4-. It is a single row editor only.

v1.5, which will be available next month will feature the ability to edit multiple rows.

Hi Manuel,

As noted in my reply above, no, multi-row editing is not available in v1.4. It will however be a feature that is available in v1.5 which will be available within the next few weeks.
