Unable to add a column with Edit/Delete Button - Django + datatables

axo94

Hi, as i have many rows in my databe i have to use datatable server-side based in django .
I succeed to show my data but i want to create a column with edit/delete button as it was before.

When i tried to add 'columndef' all the data is gone.

Here is my code :

• View.py
  `class XEJson(BaseDatatableView):
  model = SyslogXE
  columns = ['tag','description','explanation','recommandations','component','severity']
  order_columns = ['tag','description','explanation','recommandations','component','severity']
  max_display_length = 500

`
-HTML with JS :
'

Tag Description Explanation Recommended Action Component Severity $(document).ready(function() { var dt_table = $('.datatable').dataTable({ order: [[ 0, "desc" ]], lengthMenu: [[25, 50, 100, 200], [25, 50, 100, 200]], "searching": true, processing: true, "serverSide": true, stateSave: true, ajax: TESTMODEL_LIST_JSON_URL }); });

`
i got this

But when i want to add things like that :
`
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

    var dt_table = $('.datatable').dataTable({

        order: [[ 0, "desc" ]],
        lengthMenu: [[25, 50, 100, 200], [25, 50, 100, 200]],

        "searching": true,
        processing: true,
        "serverSide": true,
        stateSave: true,
        ajax: TESTMODEL_LIST_JSON_URL
                    "columnDefs": [
                   {
                       "render": function ( data, type, row ) {
                        return "<button class='btn btn-danger btn-delete' data-pk='" + data + "'>" + row.name + "</button>";
                    },
                  "targets": -1  // -1 is the last column, 0 the first, 1 the second, etc.
                   }
                   ]
    });
});

</script>

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Look for errors in your browser's console.

i forgot a "," it works i see the button.
Is it possible to link the buttun like this for example ?
td><a href="{% url 'update_Syslog_XE' syslog.tag %}"><button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Update</button></a></td>

I don't need a special function, i just need to show the button with the href

I don't think your Django templates are going to work with columns.render since its being processed in realtime.
