Adding an extra column when using server side

Adding an extra column when using server side

I am using datatables 1.7.2 and server side execution.

I get 11 columns from my server side object and need to add a column with check boxes having its value set to the value of one of the 11 properties in my server side object.

How would do that?

Thanks!

    In the script here ( http://datatables.net/development/server-side/php_mysql ) it indicates where you might want to add extra columns (the text "Optional Configuration"). You can add your HTML checkbox there and that will do the business.

    Hello Allan,

    I am using ASP.NET MVC and my server side object should not change in order to accomplish this, I think.

    It is a ViewModel but do I really have to add, say an extra ID column, just to feed a checkbox column?

    Aren't there a way to get an extra column using client side config?

    Cheers!

    Sure there is :-). Use fnServerData ( http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks#fnServerData ) to go through the returned array and for each row returned add the column with the value you want.

    Hi Allan,

    regarding ..."Sure there is :-). Use fnServerData ( http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks#fnServerData ) to go through the returned array and for each row returned add the column with the value you want.",...

    Kindly provide a sample - i can't seem to figure it out on my own.

    Thanks.
