Child rows with editor

Child rows with editor

MaikelMaikel Posts: 75Questions: 18Answers: 1

looking at the child row example: https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html

i want to build the same thing, but the child row would again be a datatable with an editor, so i can add/edit/delete rows inside the child row, are there any examples like this as i can seem to make this work.

Maybe i'm making this to complicated but i'm trying to edit a 1 to many relationship, but in the secondary table (the many) we can add rows, and these rows are build out of 5 fields (below is an explanation of the sql tables).

members
- id
- name
- address
- ....

members_year
- id
- member_id
- year
- medical
- payed
- submitted

any help on how to build this would be really handy.

    This blog post might be useful. Is that the sort of thing you are looking for? But perhaps with the child table shown in a child row?

    Thanks,
    Allan

    yes thats what i want, but indeed the child table shown in a child row

    not sure how to do this, basically i need a child row and move it around it seems

    i have it working with a separated table,
    but running this table as a child row was not yet successful ...

    i just use the <tableId>_wrapper.html() as the child row, but not sure this is the correct way of working

    Yes, that is basically the idea. This has come up a few times, so I'll write it up as this month's blog post.
