colvis columnText not working / not implemented yet?

rubjo

This option doesn't seem to work - not on the example page on this site, either. Or am I missing something?

rubjo

Anyone? Seems strange for an otherwise extremely well-documented solution to just list an option, have a separate page for demonstrating it and then say nothing about the fact that it actually doesn't work.

Just a simple "this is a feature in development or this is a known bug" statement would be much appreciated.

Hi Allan,
I tried it myself based on this example - and yes it does not work. It actually does nothing. The result is the same as for the commented-out colvis button.
https://datatables.net/reference/button/colvis

buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'colvis',
                columnText: function ( dt, idx, title ) {
                    return (idx+1)+':bla bla '+title;
                }},
            
//                        "colvis",
            {   extend: "showAll", className: "showAllcontractGovDeptTable"   }
        ]

Its pre-release I'm afraid. There is a note in the colvis documentation for columnText stating that it is available from 1.3.0+. Buttons 1.2.4 is the current stable release.

The reason I include the pre-release documentation is that the nightly versions are available which carry these features (although actually, I need to rebuild them, which I'll get going in a moment).

Ah, thanks, spotted the 1.3.0 note now.
