Column Visibility Features Not Working

elimariaaa

Hello,

I'd like to use the following features from Column Visibility under Buttons:

• https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/column_visibility/columns.html
• https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/column_visibility/restore.html

But they are not working even on the documentation.

I've also seen this: http://live.datatables.net/sezigoti/5/edit

When can it be fixed? How can I fix it? The workaround stated above does not work for me. I have datatables working server-side. You can see it in action here.

I'd like to exclude "Id" and "Action" in Column Visibility button.

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

The problem with the first example is a known issue. I tried the second example the restore option works for me. I tried the http://live.datatables.net/sezigoti/5/edit example and it seems to work for me. The Age column was set to:

      {
        name: 'Age',
        visible: false,
        className: 'notToggleVis'
      },

I removed the visible: false, to see the column and it was not in the list of colvis columns. Sounds like the workaround maybe to apply the className in the column definition instead of in cloumnDefs?

I don't see where you applied the className in either place but you do have columns: ':not(.noVis)' in your colvis button definition.

Please try the http://live.datatables.net/sezigoti/5/edit example again and make the Age column visible. Also try the second example again to make sure whether the restore option works or not.

Hi Kevin,

The problem with my datatables is that, my columns are dynamic. So I can't manually set them up, compared to columnDefs where I'm free to add whatever I want (hopefully the column visibility), too.
