Hide column based on column header.

MickB

Hi,

Is there a way to do this?

I am currently doing this, to hide the last column:

"columnDefs": [
                {
                    "targets": [-1],
                    "visible": false,
                    "searchable": false
                },

Now I would prefer to hide it based on the column header (field name).

One of my columns dictates what colour the row should be highlighted and I want to be able to hide it, based on it's name.

bindrid

you could do it in initComplete callback

Yes - you can't select columns based on the name during initialisation I'm afraid (unless you do some jQuery trickery). You need to use a callback function as @bindrid says.

I cheated and worked out the index in PHP, then passed it in:

     {
                    "targets": [{{$hideColumn}}],
                    "visible": false,
                    "searchable": false
                },
