Datatable not getting Auto-refreshed after click on header for sorting

edited September 2012 in General
I am implementing sorting (Order by) for dataTable at server side. All sessms to be fine Even my data gets properly sorted (I can check that in firebug.). Now the problem is , datatable is not getting reloaded after that, and "processing..." continues to appear. Any clue on where to write function for reload. I know it can be done by

[code] oTable.fnDraw(true); [/code]

but I dont know where to write it after header is clicked for sorting. Let me know if you need any code snippet to debug.

    Use firebug and make sure that your json return is clean. I was sending some PHP echo crap that I had put in for debug and forgot to remove it. A few deletes and/or commenting it out and it just "worked".

    Json is clean as it is same response what I am getting on page load and is working fine.

    [code]
    var oTable = $('#datatable').dataTable( {
    "bProcessing": true,
    "bServerSide": true,
    "sAjaxSource": "datatableprocessor",
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "fnRowCallback": function (nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex) { return nRow; },
    "fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, rfrshCallbk ) {
    $('.search').each(function(index) {
    var name = $(this).attr("name");
    var tempName = name.replace("search","condition" );
    var condition = $("[name='"+tempName+"']").val();
    var value = $(this).val();
    aoData.push({ "name": name, "value": value+""+condition });
    });
    aoData.push({ "name": "queryId", "value": "test" });
    $.ajax( {
    "dataType": 'json',
    "type": "POST",
    "url": sSource,
    "data": aoData,
    "success": rfrshCallbk

    } );
    },
    "aoColumnDefs": [
    { "sName": "c.id", "aTargets": [ 0 ] },
    { "sName": "c.firstname", "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
    { "sName": "c.lastname", "aTargets": [ 2 ] },
    { "sName": "c.telephone", "aTargets": [ 3 ] }

    ]


    } );//
    [/code]

    Above is the source code for dartaTable.

    I tried to check if the Json comming is correct, so to debug I changed code to

    "success": function(json){
    alert(JSON.stringify(json));
    rfrshCallbk(json);
    }

    In both cases , when I reload my page or do sorting json string is same .. ??!!?? don't know what is wrong ??!!??

    If you are using server-side processing then its up to the server to do the sort and respond in the required format. I'd suggest:

    1. Give us a link to we can see what is going wrong
    2. If you can't do that use the debugger and give us the debug code

    Allan,

    Sorting isn't the issue, I can see in debugger output is well sorted, what do you expect when you say debug code?? I am posting response from firebug:

    Use the DataTables debugger: http://debug.datatables.net . Try sorting the columns a couple of times before running the debugger so we can see the broken state.

    > "iTotalDisplayRecords":2,"iTotalRecords":57,

    That looks very wrong to me. Firstly you've got 4 records in your response, not 2 or 10 or anything else. So where do the 2 and 57 come from? Are you also remembering that sEcho changes on every request?

    Do you really need server-side processing? Are you going to be working with > 50'000 rows?

    Allan,

    great debugging tool, haven't ever imagine that is possible.

    Yes I need to work with more than millions of record. I am currently doing POC for dataTables. I thought "iTotalDisplayRecords" and "iTotalRecords" are just used for display purpose, so they were hardcoded values. Have corrected that also, but still result is same.

    here is the debug code:

    http://debug.datatables.net/evuhig.

    please let me know if you need any further help, if you want I can also post my java processor.

    Ah - unfortunately you've got a custom function for fnServerData, so I can't see what the data is that is being sent back by the server.

    Can you change it to:

    [code]
    function(sSource, aoData, rfrshCallbk, oSettings) {
    $(".search").each(function(index) {
    var name = $(this).attr("name");
    var tempName = name.replace("search", "condition");
    var condition = $("[name='" + tempName + "']").val();
    var value = $(this).val();
    aoData.push({
    name: name,
    value: value + "" + condition
    });
    });
    aoData.push({
    name: "queryId",
    value: "test"
    });
    oSettings.jqXHR = $.ajax({
    dataType: "json",
    type: "POST",
    url: sSource,
    data: aoData,
    success: function(json) {
    alert(JSON.stringify(json));
    rfrshCallbk(json);
    }
    });
    }
    [/code]

    and then rerun the debugger.

    If you are able to give me a link t the page that would be really useful to see what is going on quicker, but another debug trace will hopefully be enough.

    u there .... I need to put off the server
  • noNamenoName Posts: 12Questions: 0Answers: 0
    Interestingly , I thought issue is due to some wrong thing happening in fnServerData, but I removed the function and found that was not the case; problem still persists, even the processing sign doesn't disappears
  • allanallan Posts: 63,394Questions: 1Answers: 10,451 Site admin
    Thanks for the updated debug record.

    > "sEcho": "1"

    For draw number three (which your debug trace is from), that is wrong. See http://datatables.net/usage/server-side :

    > An unaltered copy of sEcho sent from the client side. This parameter ***will change with each draw*** (it is basically a draw count) - so it is important that this is implemented. Note that it strongly recommended for security reasons that you 'cast' this parameter to an integer in order to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
