Can't get file size plug in to work for sorting - getting unknown parameter error

eshans

Hi - Here's my code. There's a table being rendered with a file size showing, 1mb, 24k, and so on. Does this code look right to do this ? I've attached the errror. It's in the columns definition line. Getting an unknown parameter. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  if (!orderAttachmentsDTO[orderItemID]) {
        orderAttachmentsDTO[orderItemID] = $attachmentsTable.DataTable({
          destroy:true,
          data:itemAttachments,
          columns:[orderAttachmentsMap["type": "file-size", "targets": 2]],
          autoWidth:false,
          order: [[ 0, 'asc' ]],
          paging:false,
          dom:'ft',
          searching: false,
          language: {
            emptyTable: ax.L(911),
            zeroRecords: ax.L(911)
          }
        });

Here's the data coming back in the JSON response.

And the error.

Below is the code from the file-size.js

jQuery.fn.dataTable.ext.type.order['file-size-pre'] = function ( data ) {

var units = data.replace( /[\d\.\s]/g, '' ).toLowerCase();
var multiplier = 1;

if ( units === 'kb' ) {
    multiplier = 1000;
}
else if ( units === 'mb' ) {
    multiplier = 1000000;
}
else if ( units === 'gb' ) {
    multiplier = 1000000000;
}
else if ( units === 'tb' ) {
    multiplier = 1000000000000;
}
else if ( units === 'pb' ) {
    multiplier = 1000000000000000;
}
return parseFloat( data ) * multiplier;
};

I'm not sure what orderAttachmentsMap is but I suspect you want to assign the file-size type using columnDefs since there is no targets option for columns. Maybe you want something like this?

columnDefs: [{"type": "file-size", "targets": 2}],

Thank you. orderAttachmentsMap is just the map where all of the nodes get rendered and displayed in the table. I tried doing what you suggested but getting the same error

Can you post what the content of orderAttachmentsMap is?

If its an object then maybe all you need is this, along with the columnDefs:
columns: orderAttachmentsMap

If that doesn't help then post the contents so we can see how it lines up with your JSON response.
