pageLength menu as buttons instead of dropdown

chubby92

How can I do the above (what's in the title)?
I tried to find a solution for hours now

@allan no, this is drop down.. I want buttons side by side

allan

In which case you could use custom buttons that simply call the page.len() method from their action function.

@allan Thanks but I have few problems with that.
1. The documentation is not updated, I dont have such function
2. What if I want to make the buttons as group button?
3. What if I want to make the active button with different class (if I have a button that shows 20 rows, it should be active untill it was changed)

(I have done it by using dom element but I dont like this way :X)

1. The documentation is not updated, I dont have such function

What documentation? The custom buttons or page.len()? That's been in since 1.10.0.

1. What if I want to make the buttons as group button?

A group as in a drop down? Use the collection button type.

1. What if I want to make the active button with different class

This is where Buttons defines the classes it uses and you can change that as you need.
