Select only two rows

Andreas S.

Is it possible to restrict the multi select for two rows?

Yes - you could use the user-select event to cancel the addition of rows if two are already selected.

I have used the code at the end to activate the button. Is with the 'user-select' event possible to activate and deactivated the button. I think so, but what is the different between both events. I did not found the description about the 'select' event.

This opens another problem for me. How get the data of the selected rows. I tried in the action of the Button to get the data of both selected rows, but only I get an error. With a single row I get the data.

rlist.on(
    'select', function () {
      var selectedRows = rlist.rows( { selected: true } ).count();
      rlist.button( 0 ).enable( selectedRows === 2 );
    }
  );

buttons: [
      {
        text: '<i class="fa fa-code-fork"></i>',
        titleAttr: 'Merge Entries',
        className: 'txt-BlueViolet',
        action: function ( e, dt, node, config ) {
          var data = rlist.row( { selected: true } ).data();
          $.post({
            url: '/wp-content/plugins/finswim-cup-tools/admin/fsct-server-processing.php?m=1',
            data: data
          })
        },
        enabled: false
      }

The user-select event should only be used to cancel selection if your logic requires that. You should use select to know when a row has actually been selected (i.e. it has been allowed by user-select or has been triggered via the API).

How get the data of the selected rows.

rlist.rows( { selected: true } ).data()

would get the data. If that doesn't work, I'd need a link to a test case showing the issue. Also note that you would need to use toArray() to get a plain array of data if you are sending that via Ajax rather than a DataTables object.
