About the checkbox selection in datatable

cmansky

Dear all,
I am a beginner in using the datatable with Django. I already created the checkbox selection for my datatable successfully, the table only allows checking one row.
My question: Is it possible to set the column default "checked" when the page is rendering based on condition?
I already tried adding {% if ... %} <tr class="selected"> in the target html, it can show the click and fulfill my expectation, but there is a problem that occurs that the table is allowed 2 rows checking. Is any one can help this problem?

Since you are using the Select extension the best way to select the rows is with the select() API. I don't believe access to the select API is available until after the table is initialized. In initComplete you can get the rows, based on condition, that need selected then use select(). For example:
http://live.datatables.net/pajavidu/1/edit

The example doesn't have the select-checkbox column but the principal is the same. It uses the row-selector as a function to fetch the appropriate rows using the rows() API. It uses the resulting rows API to select the rows.
