delete without confirmation

Olan

I want to delete a selected row with a button without a confirmation popup. My code so far is:

{ sExtends: "select_single",
    sButtonText: "Remove",
    fnClick: function ( button, config ) {
        var rows = table.rows( '.selected' );
        rows.delete();
        }
},

but now a confirmation popup appears. Is it possible to delete the selected row without any confirmation?

What you would need to do is use the remove() method rather than row().delete(). The reason being is that row().delete() doesn't provide an option to not show the Editor form (an oversight on my part that I will fix).

So you might do something like editor.remove( table.rows('.selected').indexes(), false ).submit();.

Great! Works like a charm!

Hi Allan,

I have exactly the same need as Olan, but can I use the piece of code you provided within a RESTful Editor interface like:

remove: {
                type: 'DELETE',
                url:  '../php/rest/remove.php?id=_id_'
            }

Yes. Keep in mind that if multiple ids are submitted they will be comma separated - your API might or might not allow for that.
