Hi Allan ... happy New Year! 
I'm still having the issue with the multiselect fitering on the MJOIN table. (Old post: https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/39606/mjoin-and-multiselect-filtering-issue). I've sent you a private message prior to the holidays with the details and the link. By any chance, how can I solve this? Do I need to change sth with the mysql table setup maybe?
Many thanks

I have set data-priority to 3 <th> but I see no effect at all.
Also in responsive mode when I click the blue (+) icon I cant type in the textfield.
Yesterday I could make it with the base theme.
Is that possible to use checkboxes instead of buttons in Multi Column collection layout? Please suggest. if possible share an example.
In this example: https://datatables.net/extensions/select/examples/initialisation/checkbox.html the select all checkbox does not work. Please what can i do?. Thanks
I have a table with orders and the products from the orders. I don't have made them with the child option, simple listing, just changing the background color of the <tr>.
The problem is that when I paginate the <tr> with the order title is one page and the products from it are in the next page because the tr is the 25th row and the products are the 26th and 27th row and my display length is 25.
Is there a way to add a class to the <tr> that contains order title for this to be the next row on the next page? Although I have to disable displaylength it will be ok.
Thank you for your time.
Title pretty much says it all. Whenever I have a 'datetime' field in Editor, it gets treated as a text field. I am working with v1.6.0.
Here is the example that I went off of:
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/dates/formatting.html
I've created a very simple example within my own application as well - http://www.experienceplus.com/atlas_staging/unless/Atlas/DepartureStaffs/editorTest
I want to make a function I can pass to DataTables for rendering columns, mainly so I can make a column a clickable link.
How can I pass not only the function name of the renderer but also a parameter, such as the target url?
I made an example showing how not to do it

Hello
Im using datatables for displaying data on the webpage. Have also added and Export button which would export the data in Excel format.
Currently im using search() (based on column no. 17) in the javascript to only show specific data in the datatables. On clicking export only the filtered data is being exported. I would want to export the entire data without any filter being applied.
1. in the view it should only show the rows where column 17 has a specific value 'abc' (Working)
2. While exporting, it should export entire data i.e column 17 should be having all values as without the search being applied. (Not Working)
Code Snippet:
var table = $('.tableContent').DataTable({
"autoWidth": false,
"pageLength": 50,
dom : 'lBfrtip',
buttons : [ {
extend : 'excel',
text : 'Export to Excel'
} ],
"columnDefs" : [{
"targets" : [ 0, 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18 ],
"visible" : true,
"searchable" : true
}, {
"targets" : [ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21 ],
"visible" : false,
"searchable" : false
}]
});
table.column(17).search('abc', false, false, true).draw();
I'm looking over the buttons API for datatables, particularly formatting fields when exporting to xlsx.
Is it possible to format a cell in such a way that excel will treat the field as a time interval once it is loaded in excel, rather than requiring the user to focus and unfocus the cell and get excel's autodetect to kick in?
Something like inserting excel field metadata is how I imagine it would be done.
Thanks,
Matt
Hi,
We are facing table row color distortion issue in our application whenever we perform any kind of event like click, scroll or resize.
We got a solution for this as below,
$(window).on('scroll resize', function(){
var table = $('#our-table').DataTable();
table.columns.adjust().draw();
});
We are using properties of datatable like resizeWidth, paginationType, responsive etc.
However this operation has to be done whenever an event occurs. We are looking for better solution so that the datatable need not be adjusted everytime an event occurs.
Thanks,
Chethan
hi to all,
In our company we use IE9 (Standard browser for Intranet)
I just tried to implement the basic example for fixed header.
On the datatable website it's working as expected.
But when I try to use it in my html page, it doesn't.
here's my fiddle
I expected the table header to "stop" when reaching the top of my id "contentMain".
Even if I set the top of "contentMain" to 0, it does not work.
Can anyone help me please to find my mistake?
thank you very much,
azfrank
When initializing DataTables using the Javascript data option, is it faster to provide data as a 2D array or an array of objects?

Hi,
I have my editor configured like this with validation on PreSubmit. However the problem is that editor.field( "ProjectId" ) is always empty when performing the validation checks.
How can I validate a selectize DDL with inline editing?
editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
ajax: {
type: "POST", url: "/WorkDiary/SaveDetail",dataType: "json",contentType: "application/json",processData: "false",
data: function(d) {return JSON.stringify(d);}
},
table: "#detailTable",
idSrc: "Id",
fields: [
{ label: "Id:", name: "Id", type: "readonly" },
{ label: "WorkDiaryId:", name: "WorkDiaryId", type: "readonly" },
{ label: "Time:", name: "WorkTime", type: "readonly" },
{ label: "Activity:", name: "Activity", type: "textarea" },
{
label: "Project",
name: "ProjectId",
type: "selectize",
opts: {
valueField: "Id",
labelField: "Name",
searchField: "Name",
preload: true,
maxItems: 1,
load: function(query, callback) {
$.ajax({
url: "/SelectHelper/GetProjectList",
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
data: { q: query },
error: function() { callback(); },
success: function(res) { callback(res); }
});
}
}
},
{ label: "DateCreated:", name: "DateCreated", type: "readonly" },
{ label: "CreatedBy:", name: "CreatedBy", type: "readonly" }
],
formOptions: { inline: { onBlur: "submit", submit: "all" } },
i18n: { edit: { title: "Diary Form" } }
});
editor.on( "preSubmit", function ( e, d, action ) {
if ( action !== "remove" ) {
var projectId = editor.field( "ProjectId" );
if ( !projectId.isMultiValue() ) {
if ( !projectId.val() || projectId.val() === 0 )
projectId.error("You must select a project");
}
if ( this.inError() ) {
return false;
}
}
Hi all, thank you in advance for any support.
I have the following scenario: one datatable that loads data from oData with a custom function (i.e. fnServerData) to manage odata uri parameters ($filter, $sort, ...).
When I tryed to manage the row click to get the content of a single row I got this error:
"Uncaught TypeError: $(...).dataTable(...).row is not a function" (I'm followng the documentation example here: https://datatables.net/examples/api/select_single_row.html )
Am I missing something or am I doing some mistake?
Thank you
Hi,
I am facing an browser compatibility issue with all versions of IE. It's working fine with Chrome, Mozilla and Microsoft Edge but not with IE. I searched and i got the solutions but i haven't found plugins in your site for IE as you have given. What are those extensions that i have to link to my datatables. Below is the screenshot attached for your page and of IE too.

I'm new to DataTables, but I have a custom button that I am using to edit the data in the Modal form. Currently, I like to use the modal form, instead of the standard edit form that comes with the editor. So in the DataTable, I have several rows of data. When I select a row and click on the custom (Edit) button, I want to pass all of the data to the modal form. What is the best way. Thanks.
Love the datatables system. I can see so much potential but I can't seem to use any other options when grouping rows. I've put an example here.
http://live.datatables.net/fiwomije/1/
From scouring the forum I think I'm putting the options in the correct place but it seems to have no effect.
Once (if) I get this working I'm hoping to be able to add PDF and Excel export buttons. On a very steep learning curve so I hope this question isn't daft!
Hi!
How can I set single column for no global search BUT for filter?
My DT:
var table = $('#users-table').DataTable({
"ordering": false,
"bLengthChange": false,
pageLength: 50,
"bDeferRender": true,
processing: true,
serverSide: true,
ajax: '/route',
columns: [
{ data: 'firstname', name: 'firstname' },
{ data: 'lastname', name: 'lastname' },
{ data: 'list', name: 'list' },
{ data: 'badge', name: 'badge' },
{ data: 'status', name: 'status', orderable: false, searchable: false },
// I want to custom filter for this (status) but it cannot be searchable
{ data: 'action', name: 'action', orderable: false, searchable: false }
],
"language": {
"url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.13/i18n/Polish.json"
},
});
Here is my custom filter:
$('#status').on('change',function(){
table
.columns(4)
.search( this.value )
.draw();
});
I suposse it must be trivial, but now i'm stuck. The question is how can i make use of chinese-string plugin for sorting special characters (with accents, pe.)?
I've seen the following plugin
//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.13/sorting/chinese-string.js
but the trials I've carried out have failed. Where (in the js code) must I apply or call this plugin?
A piece of my code, obtained using DTE Generator, is
```var table = $('#mytable').DataTable( {
ajax: 'php/table.mytable.php',
columns: [
{
"data": "user"
},
{
"data": "name"
},
{
"data": "group"
},
{
"data": "phone"
},
{
"data": "email"
}
],
order: [[ 1, 'asc' ]],```
if I try to apply the example to my own case:
$('#mytable').dataTable( {
columnDefs: [
{ type: 'chinese-string', targets: 0 }
]
} );
It thows a "Cannot reinitialise DataTable" error.
Should I put it in the editor initialisation (var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor...)?
