Editor sDOM

borconi

I'm trying to work out how I should manipulate the sDOM to have both page pagination and edit buttons on the same page but I'm not able to work it out. I found the exactly same question here but it doesn't seems to be working.

I haven't found anywhere that the capital T stands for in the sDOM, after reading the sDOM documentation I have tried to build the correct sDOM, this is what I was trying:

"sDom": '<"dt-buttons btn-group">frtlip',

Everything works as expected, except the Edit/New/etc buttons are not visible. Removing the sDom line shows the buttons but does not show the page pagination.

Here is the full table initialization:

 var curr_table=$('#example').DataTable({
        paging: true,
        info:false,
        "bFilter": true,
        "sDom": '<"dt-buttons btn-group">frtlip',
        ajax: "jobs_data.php",
        "bPaginate": true,
        "iDisplayLength": 200,
        "aLengthMenu": [[25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, -1], [25, 50, 100,200,500,1000, "All"]],
        scrollY: $(document).height()-210,

          dom: 'Bfrtip',
         
        columns: [
            
            { data: "company.Name"},
            { data: "stores.short_add"},
            { data: "job_descriptions.short_description"},
            { data: "jobs.startdate"},
            { data: "jobs.freq"},
            { data: null,
            render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                if (data.jobs.freq_type == "0") 
                    return "Interval";
                else if (data.jobs.freq_type == "1")
                    return "Set Date";
                else 
                    return "One Off/Add-hoc";
            }
            },
            { data: "clients.Company_Name"},
            {data: "operatives.name"}
        ],
        select: true,
        buttons: [
             { extend: "edit",   editor: editor }, 'copy', 'csv', 'excel', { extend: 'pdfHtml5', orientation: 'landscape', pageSize: 'A4'}, 'print'
        ]
  });

Ignore question, I'm a total idiot!

I have sDom and Dom defined as well....

Good to hear you have it working now!

For reference:

I haven't found anywhere that the capital T stands for in the sDO

T was the old TableTools extension, which has now been relegated to the mists of time, in favour of Buttons (B). You can safely ignore the T option!
