jfri_2007

when i want to print , in the preview`s print i can see my table with Title, 1 message, and the table, but i want to insert a total under the dataTable, anybody knows how can i put a message in?
Is specificly in the customize (print ).

this only works with 1 msj message: "message hello" , and appears in the head of the page

Im sure this is very old, (but I cant tell, you know why @allan? theres no dates on anything! lol.... super weird). But ill answer it anyways.

I saw the customize option and was curious what I could use it for, I found this thread in my search results, so thought id answer it..

The DataTable.ext.buttons.print method is what handles this option, and the related code is pretty simple:

if ( config.customize ) {
    config.customize( win );
}

For how to use it, take a look at the example, the example does exactly what you are looking to do @jfri_2007.

buttons: [
    {
        extend: 'print',
        customize: function ( win ) {
            $(win.document.body)
                .css( 'font-size', '10pt' )
                .prepend(
                '<img src="http://datatables.net/media/images/logo-fade.png" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;" />'
            );

            $(win.document.body).find( 'table' )
                .addClass( 'compact' )
                .css( 'font-size', 'inherit' );
        }
    }
]

So you can append any data to the content using jQuerys $.append() or $.prepend()
