Collection buttons are not working with multi rows selects!

jurikobe

[code]
"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "../../lib/js/jquery.dataTables/extras/TableTools/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf",
"sRowSelect": "multi",
"aButtons": [
"select_all",
"select_none",
{
"sExtends": "collection",
"sButtonText": "Save",
"aButtons": [ "csv", "xls", "pdf", "copy" ],
"bSelectedOnly": "true"
},
{
"sExtends": "print",
"sButtonText": "Print",
"bSelectedOnly": "true"
}
]
}
[/code]

This configuration does show buttons, but non of them are working as expected! '0 rows copied' etc.
Anybody got any idea why?

Does the browser support and allow flash plug-ins?

Ofcourse it is! Single buttons + multi rows table tools = working solution, but collection is not.

It appears to work okay here: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/TableTools/collection.html - can you link us to a page showing the issue please?

btw - the "print" option will currently ignore the bSelectedOnly parameter - that isn't implemented yet.

Allan, your link does not have MULTI rows selection func turned on. Can you please check it with this feature?

Oh I see what you mean!

The button options are not cascading! So applied a property to your collection does not mean it will apply to the buttons in the collection. You would do something like this:

[code]
"aButtons": [
"select_all",
"select_none",
{
"sExtends": "collection",
"sButtonText": "Save",
"aButtons": [ {
"sExtends": "csv",
"bSelectedOnly": true
}, ... ]
},
{
"sExtends": "print",
"sButtonText": "Print"
}
]
}
[/code]

btw - note that bSelectedOnly is a boolean value not a string, so give it true or false without quotes.
