Search

I found my problem. I forgot to put in the exportOptions. Print should of been: { extend: 'print', exportOptions:{ columns: ':visible', autoPrint: true, orientation: 'landscape' } Now I have to get the print to change to Landscape. It still prints Portrait.

Will you come out with this functionality in the future? I'd love to min-width all my columns, but let them grow bigger equally when there's more space.

yadcf does not show / hide columns, but yadcf filters know how to appear / disappear with the columns as a result of ColVis actions...

It works : $(document).ready( function () { $('#request_table').DataTable({ data : ... , columns : [ ... ], sScrollX: "100%", sScrollXInner: "150%", scrollCollapse: true, paging: true, fixedColumns: { leftColumns: 2 } });

Thanks jr42.gordon for the reply. Goal was to apply column search for each column after the table is initialized. found a way out of it by using this.api().columns() var table = $('#example').DataTable({ "initComplete": function(settings, json) { var columns = this.api().columns(); }

option to get the columns using the ajax option

If I'm reading the code above correctly you are just setting columns to an array of strings. Is that correct? Is so, that's not a validate DataTables initialisation. See columns and columns.title for how to set a column title. Allan

define the visibility of columns. DataTables itself puts no

Are you using the search() method? There is currently no option to limit what columns it will search on I'm afraid. Allan
