Editor: Redirect using Edit button

kmbonin

I need to redirect my users to a custom edit page that has a lot of validation and logic on it, but I want to get them there from the standard editor edit button in my datatable. I'm trying to do something like this in my button definition, but I can't seem to grab the ID of the record I am trying to edit.

{
            extend: "edit",
            text: "Edit DVP&R",
            action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
                window.location.href("dvpr_edit.aspx?dvprID=" + table.row(this).id);
            }
        }

How can I get the ID of the row (or a datavalue being passed back from the API) to use in my querystring?

I'd suggest dropping extend: "edit", since you don't really need any of the functionality of the original edit button.

To get the id of the row that is being edited, try using table.row( { selected: true } ).id). I'm presuming you are using the Select extension to allow row selection?

Documentation for the Select integration with the API is available here.
