    No - not at all. You need to purchase an Editor license if you want to use Editor. Select2 and Chosen are third party software and you are free to integrate them how you want into DataTables.

    Thank you Allan.
    Could you please let me know where can i find a basic working example of select2 or chosen applied in datatables.?

  • allanallan Posts: 64,943Questions: 1Answers: 10,757 Site admin

    I'm not sure there is one to be honest. Do you have a select in each column? If so, just initialise Seect2 first and then DataTables.

    Remember edanyildiz, since you're venturing into unknown territory you'll need dependencies to make it work. I think you'll definitely need to include the js files, as Allan said I don't think there is a super simple way to do this but if you find a solution it'd be awesome if you would share :smile:

    Dear All,

    Since i am a newbie, now i realised what i am dealing with :)
    I got the whole idea,
    Datatable is free,but editor is something if you want extra plugins, you have to pay.

    Thank you.

  • edanyildizedanyildiz Posts: 43Questions: 13Answers: 4

    I think the only way is to purchase the editor plugin.

  • ApezdrApezdr Posts: 43Questions: 4Answers: 5

    You're right, so this is the way it works.

    Datatables = Free

    Datatables Editor = Not Free

    Answer ✓

    Yes - if you want to use Editor you need a license (regardless of if you want to use any of the plug-ins for it).
