Pagination on none standard table.

annet

In the application I am developing I have a timetable displaying classes. Since I do not want to repeat the day, I display the timetable like this:





time
duration
activity
level
location



{{oldday=None}}
{{for activity in timetable:}}
{{if activity.day.day!=oldday:}}


{{=activity.day.day}}


{{oldday=activity.day.day}}
{{pass}}



{{=activity.timetable.time.strftime('%H:%M')}}


{{=activity.timetable.duration}}


{{=activity.timetable.activity}}


{{=activity.level.level}}


{{=activity.timetable.location}}


{{pass}}



The problem is that some fitness and health clubs have timetables with more than 100 classes, I would like to use dataTables' pagination feature, however, since my table doesn't have the right format I do not know how to implement this.


Kind regards,

Annet.

Hi Annet,

I'm sorry to say that DataTables doesn't support colspan. The closest is in m row grouping example: http://datatables.net/1.5-beta/examples/advanced_init/row_grouping.html - which might be what yo are looking for? But you will need to change the HTML a little bit...

The reason for the lack of colspan support is that it makes sorting and filtering very much a non-trivial exercise, particularly when you include row grouping.

Hopefully the example above will help though!

Regards,
Allan

Allan,

I had a look at the row grouping example, it comes pretty close to what I need. Thanks.


Kind regards,
