DataTables buttons removes the length menu

Bester

Hi,

After I add the Copy, Print etc buttons on my datatable it removes the "Show N Entries" drop down.

Is it possible to have the export buttons as well as be able to select the amount of lines to show on the page?

Thanks.

I managed to get the answer. Had to add 'l' to the dom property

Hm. Can you explain what you mean by "adding |" and how you did this?

Here is what I used to add the buttons to the datatable for the export etc:
http://datatables.net/reference/button/#tabletools
Note the dom: 'Bfrtip', property does not have the letter 'L' in it.

Referring to this you will note that adding 'L' to the dom property adds the length selector:
http://datatables.net/reference/option/dom

So the final dom should look like this:

dom: 'Blfrtip',
(note the additional 'L' after the 'B' character)

This will give you the export buttons and you can also select the row count to show.

Hope this helps

OK, thanks. Clear! I didn't read your "L" as an L but as a vertical bar! Works fine.
