I have datatable with id, firstName, lastName, phone, updated fields.
Problem: I add to datatable only four fields (id, firstName, lastName and phone). Updated field is hidden.
Question: how to sort datatable by updated field?
My code:
$('#table').dataTable({
sDom: '<"top"fi>tS',
sScrollY: ($(window).height() - 250) + "px",
bPaginate: false,
bDeferRender: true,
bAutoWidth: false,
oLanguage: {
sInfo: "Total: _TOTAL_ entities",
sEmptyTable: "No pending entities"
},
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "iDataSort": 4, "aTargets": [ 0 ] }
],
"aoColumns": [
{ "sWidth": "10%" },
{ "sWidth": "40%" },
{ "sWidth": "30%" },
{ "sWidth": "20%" },
{ "sTitle": "updated ", "bVisible":false }
],
fnCreatedRow: function( nRow, aData, iDataIndex ) {
$(nRow).attr('id', aData[0]);
}
});
table.fnAddData([id, firstName, lastName, phone, updated]);
From the documentation:.
iDataSort The column index (starting from 0!) that you wish a sort to be performed upon when this column is selected for sorting. This can be used for sorting on hidden columns for example.
Default: -1 Use automatically calculated column index
Type: int
// Using aoColumnDefs
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "iDataSort": 1, "aTargets": [ 0 ] }
]
} );
} );
// Using aoColumns
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumns": [
{ "iDataSort": 1 },
null,
null,
null,
null
]
} );
} );
you can simply use { "iDataSort": 4 } here (4 is the index of your hidden field)
var data = [
["1","john","mathew","1234",[]],
["2","Mary","rose","1234","1"],
];
To add hidden fields and to add data to table
aaData: data,
aoColumns :[
{ "sTitle": "id","bSortable": false },
{ "sTitle": "firstName","bSortable": false, },
{ "sTitle": "lastName", "bSortable": false,},
{"sTitle": "phone","bSortable": false},
{"sTitle": "updated ", "bVisible":false },
]
To add hidden fields use "bVisible":false
I was facing a problem by sorting the hidden column in runtime, don't know the approach is valid or not. I used the following lines to hide the column via CSS
td:nth-of-type(2) {
display: none;
}
Where 2 is your column, assign a class to your <th class="mycolum1"> and use jquery to sort it like
$("#button").click(function(){
$(".mycolumn").click();
})
Pardon me if the approach is not valid but in my case it is 100% acceptable.

I am using jQuery data table. I pass one id via <a href="#">. Now, i want to pass two or more id in single cell and <a href="#">.
My Code:
var table = $('table#companyTable').DataTable({
"sAjaxSource": ResultData, // "/GetcompanyList.json",
"sAjaxDataProp": "",
/// sort at column three
"order": [[ 3, "asc" ]],
"aoColumns": [
{ "mData": null },
{ "mData": "registrationType" },
{ "mData": "companyName" },
{ "mData": "emailId" },
{ "mData": "country" },
{ "mData": "district" },
{ "mData": "registrationDate" },
{ "mData": "companyId" },
{ "mData": "tendererId" },
{
"mData": "userId",
"render": function(data, type, row, meta){
if(type === 'display'){
data = 'View';
}
return data;
}
}
],
// define first column , is column zero
"columnDefs": [{
"searchable": false,
"orderable": false,
"targets": 0
}]
});
Now i need to pass userId, companyId, tendererId in one render and href link.
Just like below
data = 'View';
I have created a query table using data from json.
I am trying to combine two column values in one
but i always get undefined data when i try to combine two columns.
I am not sure what is wrong here.
not sure what is wrong here
$("#submit").click(function(){
var dataTableExample = $('#tbl_jad').DataTable();
$('#tbl_jad').show();
if (dataTableExample != 'undefined') {
dataTableExample.destroy();
}
dataTableExample =
$('#tbl_jad').DataTable({
"aaData": data.d.results,
"aoColumns": [
{
"mData": "ID"
},
{
"mData": "Position_x0020_Number",
},
{
"mData": "Title"
}, {
"mData": "Type_x0020_of_x0020_Action"
}, {
"mData": "Series"
}]
,
"columnDefs": [
{
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
return data +' ('+ row[0]+')';
},
"targets": 1
},
{ "visible": false, "targets": [ 0 ] }
]
});
}
});
return data +' ('+ row["ID"]+')'
where ID is the column heading or column name
I am using jQuery DataTables and I would like to know how I can filter OUT rows of my table to show and hide them depending on the state of a checkbox. If my 'Hide' checkbox is checked then hide rows where class=var and if checkbox is not checked show rows where class=var
I have setup a small demo with the ability to hide/remove the rows I want but this doesn't allow the rows to reappear.
http://jsfiddle.net/bcraig/cY8Cn/2/
$('#stock').DataTable({
"sDom": '',
"infoEmpty": "No entries to show",
"aaSorting": [ ],
"aoColumnDefs": [{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0 ]}],
});
var oTable = $('#stock').DataTable();
$('#hide').click(function() {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
oTable.row('.takenstock, .takensold').remove().draw(true);
$('label').text("Show taken");
} else {
oTable.draw();
$('label').text("Hide taken");
}
});
You have to use the DataTables filters, I changed the code to be like below, you can check it in action in fiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/cY8Cn/4/
Also here you are the filtering documentation from DataTables:
http://www.datatables.net/development/filtering
$('#stock').DataTable({
"sDom": '',
"infoEmpty": "No entries to show",
"aaSorting": [ ],
"aoColumnDefs": [{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0 ]}],
});
var oTable = $('#stock').DataTable();
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(
function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) {
var nTr = oSettings.aoData[ iDataIndex ].nTr;
if (($(nTr).hasClass('takenstock') || $(nTr).hasClass('takensold'))
&& $('#hide').is(':checked')) {
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
);
$('#hide').click(function() {
oTable.draw();
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
$('label').text("Show taken");
} else {
$('label').text("Hide taken");
}
});
I thought to be a simple thing, but!
Using DataTables, I would like to have the first column of the table hidden and use that cell data in an HTML image link in the next column cell.
html link using "User_ID", http://somepage.php?UID=data0
I have looked at fnGetData() and mRender and I just confused now.
MY CODE:
"aoColumns": [
{ "mData": "User_ID",
"bVisible": false, "bSearchable": false, "bSortable": false
},
{ "mData": null,
"bSearchable": false, "bSortable": false,
"sClass": "center",
"sDefaultContent": '<img src="images/look.png" width="16">'
},
I always help myself with this trick:
Don't set bVisible to false cause you will not have the data in the row. It's not rendered at all. Use sClass and set display:none. This way the column is invisible to the user, but it is still there.
Then you can use mRender to show a custom cell template:
"aoColumnDefs": [{
"aTargets": [0],
"sClass": "hiddenID"
}, {
"aTargets": [1],
"bSearchable": false,
"bSortable": false,
"sClass": "center",
"mRender": function(data, type, full) {
return 'Click me';
}
}, {
"aTargets": [2],
}, ]
Now the data is there, sortable and filterable.
Look at this Plunker and style.css to understand the concept behind this hack.
You may have a closer look at mData so you can do a callback function and dont have to use the hidden column:
// Using mData as a function to provide different information for
// sorting, filtering and display.
$(document).ready( function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumns": [
{ "mData": "User_ID",
"bVisible": true, "bSearchable": false, "bSortable": false
}
],
"aoColumnDefs": [ {
"aTargets": [ 0 ],
"mData": function ( source, type, val ) {
if (type === 'set') {
source.id = val;
// Store the computed dislay and filter values for efficiency
source.id_display = val=="" ? "" : '<img src="images/look.png" width="16">';
source.id_filter = val=="" ? "" : val;
return;
}
else if (type === 'display') {
return source.id_display;
}
else if (type === 'filter') {
return source.id_filter;
}
// 'sort', 'type' and undefined all just use the integer
return source.id;
}
} ]
} );
} );
I'm looking on the datatables.net website for some clarification or documentation rather about what to do if you have more than 1 table on a single page and want to handle each one differently.
I tried the obvious. Assigning each to a different id and then performing the code for each in my js but for some reason its not allowing it. I'm not getting an error but datatables itself breaks and doesn't perform anything.
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#inbox').dataTable( {
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "20px", "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "100px", "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "150px", "aTargets": [ 3 ] }
]
} );
var oTable = $('#sent').dataTable( {
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "20px", "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "100px", "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "150px", "aTargets": [ 3 ] }
]
} );
});

$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('.dataTable').dataTable( {
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "20px", "aTargets": [ 0, -1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "100px", "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
{ "sWidth": "150px", "aTargets": [ 3 ] }
]
} );
});
$(window).load(function(){
/*
* Tabs
*/
$('#tab-panel-1').createTabs();
});
You are redeclaring the same variable.
var oTable = $('#inbox').dataTable({ /* ... */ });
var oTable = $('#sent').dataTable({ /* ... */ });
The "oTable" part of this is just what Allan (the author) happens to use in his examples to fit in with his conventions. The lowercase 'o' refers to something that's an object, and it's a table. But you can use whatever name you want.
You had the right idea, but you need to use:
var inboxTable = $('#inbox').dataTable({ /* ... */ });
var sentTable = $('#sent').dataTable({ /* ... */ });
And then if you're following his other examples on the site, you just substitute your own variable name for "oTable".

[update]
I should mention that recently I'm storing multiple tables in a nested object; I have a polling mechanism that iterates over particular arrays of tables (and not others), so the sample object looks something like this:
var oTables = {
"polling" : [
$('#someTable').dataTable(opts),
$('#anotherTable').dataTable(opts)
],
"nonpolling" : [
$('#staticTable').dataTable(opts)
]
};
The net result is still the same. But I can now call setTimeouts over my array of polling table objects:
if(someBoolean) {
for(var i=0; i < oTables.polling.length; i++) {
setTimeout(pollingFunction, 5000)
}
}
(highly simplified)
