Pass Page Number to Querystring?

timcadieux

Just wondering if there's a way to pass the Page number in the querystring (i'm using Server Side) so that after an action, I can return to that location in the Paged List?

The server side protocol is described here. The server side parameters contain start and length parameters. In your server script you can divide start by length to get the page number. Or you can use the ajax.data option as a function and pass the page() value for the page number.

Yes, I have all that working, I just wanted to knwo wehther there was an option to be able to see the params via QueryString so I could easily send a user back to a specific page.

params via QueryString

Someone else maybe able to answer this but I'm not familiar with QueryString.

I could easily send a user back to a specific page.

Are you asking because you are using using either draw() or ajax.reload() and the table shows page one instead of the page the user is on? If so both have parameters to force saying on the page.

I must be explaining this wrong. In this example, I go to Page 2, but the paging mechanism is hidden from the user. I was just wonder in the was a simple way to add code to the pager, so that when it is click, the Page and take and added to the QueryString so I i send a user to Index?Page=2

Sorry I'm still not clear on how you want to use the QueryString.

Use the page() API to programmatically change the Datatable page. See this example:

If this doesn't help please provide a link to your page or a test case (update mine if you want) to show what you are trying to accomplish.

Deep linking might help, see blog post here. You might also want to look at stateSave, as that will return the user to the same page.
