Search

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

@allan i am working in localhost. using wampserverI 'm adding columns dynamically and I need to disable the edition in two columns

Thanks. This helped. I got it working by leaving off "columns" entirely and using "columnDefs" with render functions for each table column targeting to the class as you showed above.

GetData() { // Array of database columns which should be read
