1.5 beta 4 released

allan

Hello all,

Alongside the 1.4.3 release, here is 1.5 beta 4:

New: Added option for using original data for sorting and filtering (when using fnRender) - bUseRendered
Fixed: $ and ^ are escaped as regex characters now
Fixed: Filtering with a string as anything but a post fix filtered on the old result, rather than the full table.
Fixed: Hidden columns were a little broken
Fixed: Display overflow check in fnDeleteRow() corrected
Removed: Language directory in the distribution - language information is now maintained at datatables.net/plug-ins

Thanks for the bug reports!

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the nice job and sorry for asking so much... may I ask if column filtering is suposed to work together with server-side processing?

Thanks,

roger

Hi Roger,

It most certainly is - although the implementation for it must of course be done on the server-side. The GET required will give you the following variables:

sSearch_(int) - Individual column filter
bEscapeRegex_(int) - Individual column filter is regex or not

one for each column. With that information you can do individual filtering. Not that the backend on my server-side processing demo doesn't take this into account, it only does global filtering.

Regards,
Allan

Thanks Allan,

I've modified the php file to allow column filtering with your instructions and it works like a charm with a 12500 rows database and I also could JOIN columns between tables :-)

In case someone needs to do something like that working with such long and joined tables, I sugest changing the event that starts the search, because otherwise the php file (or the database) is being called again before finishing and it gives a messed result.

I'm very happy about your program... thank you so much,

roger
