Search

Hi Kevin, thank you very much for the answer, I managed to solve my problem using row().invalidate() :)

Use a regex search. See this example. In the Global search input type accountant|tokyo. Check the Treat as regex checkbox then uncheck the Use smart search checkbox. Kevin

Thanks Allan

This appears to be a duplicate of your other thread unless I'm mistaken? Allan

Doing a little debugging of the code where the item is selected you can see some of the special characters are escaped using $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(). You need to remove the \, like this: http://live.datatables.net/sixopiti/22/edit Look at the console for the output with the backslash. BTW, if you work on an example and make changes the link will change (or you might need to clone it). Once you make the changes you can post the new link for us to look at. Kevin

This won't work: + {data: d.UpdatedAt, render: $.fn.dataTable.render.moment("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ",'Do MMM YY' )} + Basically you are trying to display an object. Just use moment to display the date. See if this works: function format(d) { return '<div class="row"> 'Last Updated: ' + moment(d.UpdatedAt).format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ",'Do MMM YY' )}+ '<br>' + '</div>'; } The syntax might not be correct but it should get you going in the right direction.

You probably just need to use anonymous functions to do the grouping. See the example here. Allan

You're mixing PHP and JS there - so that's going to be cause problems. Maybe post more code and explain what you're trying to do so we have more context to help you, Colin

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin
