Manually set page.info() values

nwicki

Is there a possibility to manually set the values available in page.info()? In particular, I want to set the value recordsTotal such that if used anywhere else the value set by me is used instead of the automatically computed one like for paging buttons, table_info, etc.

To be more specific, I want to set the recordsTotal value with data received from my ajax request before the datatable is drawn.

Possibly the xhr event is what you are looking for. I'm guessing you are using server side processing. If so I believe you can set the value of recordsTotal before the table is drawn.
