Search

Hi @allan and All, I modified an example found in a forum to write custom filters (select option, textarea ..) idea is to write my regexp that will be used by search function to filter. It is working, but please let me know your thoughts (if it is good or it sucks :) *_indexes variables (for example select_options_indexes) are indexes of columns depending on their type, and that I provide at beginning of script // Apply the search table.columns().every( function (index) { // that is column var that = this; $( 'input', this.footer() ).on( 'keyup change clear search', function () { that=table.columns(index); // this is the input searched string typed in the column search field if ( that.search() !== this.value ) { column_search_string=this.value; column_index=index; if (input_indexes.includes(index)) { if (this.value !== '') { regex_expr='<input type="text".*value=".*'+this.value+'.*" maxlength=.*\>'; regex=true; smart=false; } // when search text is cleared on input text column, there is no value attribute in the html input attrbute // so regexpr will not match else { regex_expr=''; regex=false; smart=false; } } else if (select_options_indexes.includes(index)) { regex_expr='[^]*selected="">[^<]*'+this.value+'.*</option>[^]*'; regex=true; smart=false; } else if (text_area_indexes.includes(index)) { regex_expr=this.value; regex=false; smart=true; } else if (simple_text_indexes.includes(index)) { regex_expr=this.value; regex=false; smart=true; } search_col=that.search(regex_expr, regex, smart); search_col.draw(); } } ); } ); } ); thank you very much.

I added ["data": []] around the JSON. Prob something that could be added to the help page: http://datatables.net/tn/1

Typically when the Datatables functions don't work there is a Javascript error stopping the script. Check your browsers console for errors. Kevin

Los datos estan presentados en una vista de "datatable", y esas lineas las tendria que pasar a una tabla.... se podria hacer de alguna otra manera??

Thank you very much @colin .

thanks a lot kevin your example link is made my day. great exactly what i want . thanks again .

Use columns.render. You will find some hyperlink examples in the docs. Kevin

Hi @h3aven , As you can see, it's not happening here. 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

Hi @Danny4x , No, there's intellisense I'm afraid, just the manuals. That's a lot of data to pull back, it would be worth considering serverSide. The protocol is discussed here. This section of the FAQ should help too, it discusses various techniques to improve performance, Cheers, Colin
