  the funny thing is, after i applied the Server-Code pipeline (from the example), it automatically fixed all the issues (preview, next button working, the footer display correctly, etc), it is amazing, isnt it?
  any idea with that? :-)
  
  thanks

  Hi Dave,
  
  "Filtered" means that there is a search parameter being used - or possibly more likely here iTotalRecords and iTotalDisplayRecords aren't being returned correctly from the server: http://datatables.net/usage/server-side . If there is no filter then they should both be the same. http://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/server_side.html
  
  Regards,
  Allan

  Hi Allan, I'm in similar situation, besides I'm using php and I just used the code in the example, modifying the queries according to my needs, but maybe I made something wrong.
  
  I too have the 'filtered' issue when there should not be filter applied.
  
  Executing the php file alone, I see this at the beginning of the printed output:
  
  [code]
  {"sEcho": 0, "iTotalRecords": 1987, "iTotalDisplayRecords": 1987, "aaData": [
  [/code]
  
  So, unless I must check these values somewhere else in the code, they seems to be right, but in my table I have
  
  Showing 1 to 10 of 10 entries (filtered from 1987 total entries)
  
  And of course, Next button is disabled.
  
  Unfortunately I cannot show this online.
  
  Here is a bit of my code. Hmm I must bring your attention to one particular thing:
  
  My query uses more tables and joins on them and more important, I need to use my own WHERE clause, so I saw that the code how I copied from the example has a problem, since your WHERE clause (that is 'activated when there's a search (and / or maybe a filter too) contains 'WHERE' but of course I already have it in my query, so I simply modified the code.
  
  The code in next post, because of characters limit
  
  Have you any idea?
  
  Thanks in advance, Paolo

  [code]
  $gaSql['link'] = mysql_pconnect( $gaSql['server'], $gaSql['user'], $gaSql['password'] ) or
  die( 'Could not open connection to server' );
  
  mysql_select_db( $gaSql['db'], $gaSql['link'] ) or
  die( 'Could not select database '. $gaSql['db'] );
  
  /* Paging */
  $sLimit = "";
  if ( isset( $_GET['iDisplayStart'] ) )
  {
  $sLimit = "LIMIT ".mysql_real_escape_string( $_GET['iDisplayStart'] ).", ".
  mysql_real_escape_string( $_GET['iDisplayLength'] );

  Hmmm...
  
  Inside the js file, into function _fnAjaxUpdateDraw, I put an alert:
  
  [code]alert(json.iTotalRecords + " " + json.iTotalDisplayRecords);[/code]
  
  and yes, these values are different: 1987 and 10
  
  Did you refer to these values?
  
  If so, any hint on what to do?

  I'm an idiot!
  
  In the first sQuery, I didn't saw that there was SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS before the id... so I didn't used it.
  
  Just using it, now it works (quite).
  
  It hang up on processing around record #50, so there must be something that 'break' the js in one or more of my records.
  
  Next step I'll try to understand what may be.

  Now everything works.
  
  I had stupid problems with columns names, sorted out thanks to firebug and grabbing the url created and launching that url and seeing which error it printed out.
  
  But I found a thing in your example code that didn't worked for me.
  
  addslashes applied to fields values retrieved from the db and used to populate the table wasn't enough for my records. I had to use htmlentities instead.
  
  Now (hmm next time) it's time to play with jedit.
