Can a selector option be applied to a custom button

bigracefan18

I'm just wondering if it's possible to do something like this with a custom button.
buttons: [
text: "Set selection",
name: "DOESelect",
className: 'DOEcustom',
oSelectorOpts: { filter: 'applied', order: 'current', page: 'all' },
action: function ( e, dt, node, config ) {
setSelection("set", dt.column(0).data());
]

I always get the the full table rather than the filtered results. "setSelection" is an Ajax call. My other buttons all work fine with the filtered results.

I'm not familiar with oSelectorOpts but a quick search of the forum it looks like it might be a TableTools (old/retired extension) option. These examples show how to use row and column selectors with the Buttons extension:
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/print/select.html
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/print/columns.html

Not sure they will apply to custom buttons though.

Are you trying to filter the data sent to this function in this statement?

setSelection("set", dt.column(0).data());

If so then use the selector-modifier in the column() parameters. Something like this dt.column(0, { filter: 'applied' }).data()).

My other buttons all work fine with the filtered results.

Are they using the built in export functionality or are they custom buttons?

dt.column(0, { filter: 'applied' }).data()).
you nailed it. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
