deselect() api method does not clear checkboxes when deselecting rows

jstuardo

Hello, I have a datatable with these data:

Upon some condition, this api method is called:

table.rows({ selected: true }).deselect();

After that, this is the actual result:

Why is only the first checkbox cleared and not the others?

How can I solve it?

Thanks

It appears to work okay here: https://live.datatables.net/mefafegu/1/edit .

Can you make sure you are using the latest versions of DataTables and Select please? If that doesn't resolve it, then please link to a test case showing the issue so I can debug it.

Thanks Allan.

It turned out I was not using select plugin, so I compared your example with mine and now it works. I have also updated datatable, however, please look how the footer is shown:

The summary shown is very long. It says "Showing 1 of 7 records 2 rows selected 0 columns selected 0 cells selected"

If I select only 1 row, this is shown ("1" with letters):

"Showing 1 of 7 records One row selected 0 columns selected 0 cells selected"

I only need to be shown "Showing 1 of 7 records 1 row selected"

How can I fix that side effect? with previous version, that problem did not occured.

Thanks
Jaime

Hi Jamie,

Have you got language.select.columns and language.select.cells set somewhere?

You want the 0 option for them to be an empty string (see the second example on their documentation pages).
