Add sub-button to collection dynamically

brunorr.dva

Guys,
Does anyone know, how can I add a sub-button to a button collection?

I tried table.button().add( 'collection index'..., but didn't work

Hi brunorr.dva, I have been able to do this in my applications, it is a bit touchy though. Make sure you have the table instance, and the collection index correct

function addAButton(table){
 
table.button().add(2, {
       text: "Subscribe",
        action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
               //   code you want to run
                    },
        enabled: true
    });
}

This will insert a custom button at the 2 index in your button collection.

Hi Rob,

Thank's for your reply, but what I need is to add a button to a button that extends 'collection' (https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/collections.html).

I have the same need, but I can't find the answer. Do you know the solution?

Hi,

The documentation for button().add() notes that the index parameter can be:

A string with a dash (-) separator if the button is to be inserted into a collection (please refer to the button-selector documentation for full details of button indexes, including how they apply to collections of sub-buttons),
