Search

Adding the following columnDef and defining a function to recreate the table with a new data property for the ajax option worked. "columnDefs": [{ "targets": [4], "mData": null, "mRender": function(data, type, full) { return '<a href="" onclick="event.preventDefault(); searchSponsor(' + data[15] + ');">' + data[6] + '</a>'; }]

Sorry msb72, I can't help you but I'm just at the stage of seeing if it is possible to bring in data into my personal GoDaddy page from my O365 site. Were you able to perform this with a REST call? Tx

Good to hear you got it working! Allan

What you would probably need to do is send some extra information to the server to tell it that it should ignore a specific condition - the ajax.url() method for example could be used to set a GET parameter on the URL. The PHP script would then check for that if ( ! isset( $_GET['...'] ) ) { $editor->where( ... ); } etc. Allan

ThomD, thanks very much for the suggestions. Looking back. I think my question wasn't clear enough. I have a JSON file, which is supplying the tabular data via an AJAX request. The variable I'd like to compare is a WordPress PHP variable ('food-status') that is not present in my JSON file. I'd consider manually adding them, but its a list that has 18,000+ entries, and I don't know a good way to automate it. If I tried to call a function from within the DataTables script, wouldn't my PHP var be outside the DataTable's scope?

Hello everyone, In case someone else encounters this problem here is the solution that someone managed to come up with: api.rows({page:'current'} ).data().each( function ( data, i ) { var group = data[0]; var groupLink = '<a href="' + data[3] + '">' + $('<div>').text(group).html() + '</a>'; if ( last !== group ) { $(rows).eq( i ).before( '<tr class="group"><td colspan="5">'+group+'</td></tr>' ); last = group; } }); And the link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32445714/how-can-i-create-a-link-using-the-data-source-in-datatables-row-grouping

Hi, I missed your thread before - sorry about that! Yes, this is expected behaviour as the value is changed at that point - more specifically it will set the field's value to be the default value (usually an empty string). Part of the reason for this is if you have been editing a field previously then the value it holds would be that old value and you want it to be replaced with the default value. If you really don't want the event to occur, you would need to attach attach and remove the listener every time the form is opened and closed - although I think that could lead to unexpected behaviour.

Thanks, that should do it :D

Fixed it! The data-search attribute needs to be on the not the tag, and needs to be on EVERY row: <!-- Valid Row --> <td class="enter" data-search="valid"> <input id="Enter_30241_3340138" type="checkbox" value="true" name="Enter_30241_3340138"></input> </td> <!-- Invalid Row --> <td class="enter" data-search=""> <input id="Enter_30241_3340138" type="checkbox" value="true" name="Enter_30241_3340138"></input> </td>

Since yadcf uses datatables api under the hood I believe that the export should work just fine
