free-jqGrid (4.15.4), server filter, client sorting and paging?

Attempting to load data from server based off of multisearch/filters, but do sorting and paging on client. i have found a few posts that say to simply set the datatype back to the original value in the beforeSearch method.
i have attempted this and it does execute against the server and return the correct data. However, the second time i filter it seems to get the data from the server but then it gets wiped out on line 4429 in the jqgrid code shown below. Any idea on how to achieve this goal?
Ln 4429 : p.lastSelectedData = query.select();
grid definition:
$element
.jqGrid({
cmTemplate: { search: true, searchoptions: { attr: { placeholder: "filter..." }, clearSearch: true }, sortable: true, align: "center" },
colModel: [
{ name: "Id", key: true, hidden: true, searchoptions: { searchhidden: true, sopt: ["eq"] } },
{ name: "TransmissionId", label: "Transmission Id", searchoptions: { sopt: ["eq"] } },
{ name: "Name", label: "Name", searchoptions: { sopt: ["cn"] } }
],
datatype: "json",
loadonce: true,
height: "auto",
ignoreCase: true,
pager: $("#" + pagerId),
pgbuttons: true,
pginput: false,
rowList: [10, 25, 50],
rowNum: 10,
toppager: true,
url: "url here",
loadComplete: function (data) {
if (this.p.datatype === "json") {
setTimeout(function () {
$element.trigger("reloadGrid", [{ page: 1 }]);
}, 50);
}
return data;
},
viewrecords: true
})
.jqGrid("filterToolbar", {
autosearch: true,
defaultSearch: "cn",
beforeSearch: function () {
$element.setGridParam({ datatype: "json", page: 1 });
}
})
.jqGrid("navGrid", "#" + pagerId, {
edit: false,
add: false,
del: false,
refresh: false,
view: false,
cloneToTop: true
});
I have trimmed down the grid to try to verify it is not custom logic that is causing this issue. the grid does have multipleSearch on. but is not defined above.

If I understand correctly your question then you should use forceClientSorting: true in combination with loadonce: true. It force that the data loaded from the server will be sorted, filtered and paged locally directly after loading from the server. Thus you can remove loadComplete, which you use currently. See the answer for a demo.
Additionally, you can add searching property, where you include all options of filterToolbar and searchGrid:
searching: {
autosearch: true,
defaultSearch: "cn",
beforeSearch: function () {
var p = $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam"), // get reference to all parameters
filters = JSON.parse(p.postData.filters);
p.datatype = "json";
// one can here analyse filters, modify it or clear it as
p.postData.filters = "";
// one can set any other parameters, which will be sent to the server
// by using p.postData.param1 = "value1";
// which will sent param1=value1 to the server.
}
}
In general you can do the same inside your current beforeSearch too.
UPDATED: Probably you should use beforeProcessing callback additionally. beforeProcessing will be called directly after receiving the data from the server. Inside of the callback you can clean-up all p.postData.filters (to "") and p.search (change it from true to false). As the result jqGrid will not try to filter locally by postData.filters the data returned from the server.

Free jqGrid, don't send new index on addrow with inlineNav

Just putting in a new grid, and everything seems to be working well, except for one thing. Using basic inline, it is sending a new incorrect key value for the column I have set with key: true. This is an auto-increment column in the database, so I just don't want to send any data for this column when ADDING, only for edit or delete is that required.
It is posting a parameter: row_id => jqg3 for the new key column and messing up my server script. So because adding the new row will auto-increment the row_id col, I don't need to send this.
How do I stop the jqGrid from sending this (row_id) index column value when saving a new added row?
free-jqgrid version is 4.14.0
$('#accts').jqGrid({
url:'/phpAJAX/Master/master_grid_v1.php',
editurl:'/phpAJAX/Master/master_grid_v1.php',
height: 'auto',
shrinkToFit: false,
width: 'auto',
datatype: 'xml',
mtype: 'POST',
postData:{
'arg1':'bol_acct'
},
colNames:[
'row_id',
'Customer',
'Trucker',
'Acct Num'
],
colModel:[
{name: 'row_id', hidden: true, key: true},
{name:'Customer', align: "center", editable: true},
{name: 'Trucker', align: "center"},
{name: 'Acct_Num', align: "center"}
],
sortname: 'Customer',
sortorder: 'desc',
viewrecords: true,
gridview: true,
caption: 'Bill of Lading Accounts',
rowNum: 10000,
pager:true
}).jqGrid('inlineNav', {
addParams: {
addRowParams: { extraparam: {'arg1':'bol_acct', 'oper':'add'} }
},
editParams: {
extraparam: {
'arg1':'bol_acct', 'oper':'edit'
}
}
})

One can use serializeSaveData callback of inline editing to modify the data, which will be send during inline editing. You can add serializeSaveData callback via
inlineEditing: {
keys: true,
extraparam: { arg1: "bol_acct" },
serializeSaveData: function (postData) {
var newPostData = $.extend(true, {}, postData);
if (newPostData.oper === "add") {
delete newPostData.id; // delete id parameter
}
return newPostData;
}
}

Enabling Save button on JQ Grid with InlineEditing and CellEdit

Hi I have a Grid that is using cell edit and Inline editing. It saves to the ClientArray
$('#list').jqGrid({
datatype: "local",
colNames: ["Parameter Id", "Parameter Name", 'Parameter Value'],
colModel: [
{ name: "Id", index: "Id", align: "left", key: true, editable: false,hidden:true, jmap: 0 },
{ name: "ParameterName", index: "ParameterName", align: "left", editable: false, jmap: 1 },
{ name: "ParameterValue", index: "ParameterValue", align: "left", editable: true, edittype: "text", editoptions: { maxlength: 100 }, editrules: {required: true }, jmap: 2 }
],
pager: "#pager",
rowNum: 100,
rowList: [],
pgbuttons: false, // disable page control like next, back button
pgtext: null, // disable pager text like 'Page 0 of 10'
viewrecords: true, // disable current view record text like 'View 1-10 of 100'
height: '100%',
scrollOffset: 0,
sortname: "Name",
sortorder: "Asc",
gridview: true,
caption: 'Parameters',
autowidth: true,
hidegrid: false,
loadonce: true,
//beforeEditCell: function () {
// $("#list_ilsave").removeClass('ui-state-disabled');
// return;
//},
//afterEditCell: function (rowid, cellname, value, iRow, iCol) {
// $('#list').jqGrid('getCell', rowid, iCol).focus();
// return;
//},
width: totalWidth,
cellEdit: true,
cellsubmit: "clientArray"
});
$('#list').jqGrid('inlineNav', '#pager', {
edit: false,
add: false,
del: false,
save: true,
savetext: 'Save',
cancel: false
});
When I edit a Cell the save button remains disabled. If I manually Enable the button in beforeCellEdit, the editable cell hasn't got focus until you select another cell. This behavior is only happening in IE.
I have tried to fix both these issues individually in my commented out code, and I have found that the loss of focus is caused by the line
$("#list_ilsave").removeClass('ui-state-disabled');
I tried placing this line in beforeEditCell and in afterEditCell and it causes the input field to loose focus.
I was using JQ Grid 4.4.4 and I have tried updating to 4.6.0 after I read there were updates to Inline Editing after 4.4.4
UPDATE
I have changed my grid to use onSelectRow
onSelectRow: function (rowid) {
var $grid = $('#list');
var iRow = $("#" + rowid)[0].rowIndex;
$grid.jqGrid('editRow', rowid, {
keys: true,
oneditfunc: function(rowid, response) {
var $saveButton = $("#list_ilsave");
if ($saveButton.hasClass('ui-state-disabled')) {
$saveButton.removeClass('ui-state-disabled');
}
markCellAsDirty(rowid, $grid);
return true;
},
successfunc: function() {
alert('success');
return true;
},
aftersavefunc: function() {
alert('after save');
return true;
},
errorfunc: function() {
alert('error');
return true;
}
});
},
cellsubmit: "clientArray"
But I can't get any of the editRow events to fire other than oneditfunc. I also have an issue with getting the changed cells.
This method marks the cells as dirty / edited
function markCellAsDirty(rowid, grid) {
$(grid.jqGrid("setCell", rowid, "ParameterValue", "", "dirty-cell"));
$(grid[0].rows.namedItem(rowid)).addClass("edited");
}
I try to get the edited cells as follows
var editedRows = $grid.getChangedCells('dirty');
Before posting editedRows in an AJAX method to my server.

I'm not sure what you want to implement exactly, but I modified your demo to the following https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/byygepy3/11/. I include the full JavaScript code of the demo below
$(function () {
var myData = [
{ id: 10, ParameterName: "Test", ParameterValue: "" },

],
$grid = $("#list");
// change the text displayed on editrules: {required: true }
$.extend(true, $.jgrid.locales["en-US"].edit.msg, {
required: "No value was entered for this parameter!!!"
});
$grid.jqGrid({

for (i = 0; i < savedRows.length; i++) {
if (savedRows[i].id !== rowid) {
// save currently editing row
// one can replace saveRow to restoreRow in the next line
$self.jqGrid("saveRow", savedRows[i].id);

return savedRows.length === 0; // allow selection if saving successful
},
onSelectRow: function (rowid) {
$(this).jqGrid("editRow", rowid);
},
afterSetRow: function (options) {
var item = $(this).jqGrid("getLocalRow", options.rowid);
if (item != null) {

var parametricValue = $(this).jqGrid('getCell', selRowId, 'ParameterValue');
// check if empty
if (parametricValue === "") {
return [false, "Cannot delete: No value exists for this parameter"];
}
return [true, "Successfully deleted"];
},

return $("#BatchId").val();
}
},

}
}
}).jqGrid('navGrid')

}
});
// make more place for navigator buttons be rwducing the width of the right part
var pagerIdSelector = $grid.jqGrid("getGridParam", "pager");
$(pagerIdSelector + "_right").width(100);
// make the grid responsive
$(window).bind("resize", function () {
$grid.jqGrid("setGridWidth", $grid.closest(".container-fluid").width());
}).triggerHandler("resize");
});
where HTML code is
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div id="gridarea" class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<table id="list"></table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and CSS code
.ui-th-column>div, .ui-jqgrid-btable .jqgrow>td {
word-wrap: break-word; /* IE 5.5+ and CSS3 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
overflow: hidden;
vertical-align: middle;
}
It demonstrate how one can implement starting inline editing on select row. Additionally I added optional column with template: "actions" which can be alternative implementation. I set property dirty in every item of data inside of afterSetRow callback and I added "Save Changed" button, which uses localData = $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam", "data") and dirtyData = $.grep(localData, function (item) { return item.dirty; }); to get the dirty (modified) data.

Jqgrid is empty, does not load json data from main grid

My subgrid only shows the column headers but not not load the json data from the main grid. The columns are empty. I followed the tutorial on JQuery Grid-SubGrid for Parent-Child relation
but it does not work.
This is my javascript code:
jQuery().ready(function () {
var grid = jQuery("#shipment_grid");
var mainGridPrefix = "s_";
grid.jqGrid({
url: '${pageContext.request.contextPath}/getTruckShipmentJSONAction?truckId=' + <c:out value="${truckId}" />,
datatype: "json",
mtype: 'GET',
loadonce: true,
colNames: ['Lead Tracking #'],
colModel: [
{name: 'trackingNr', index: 'trackingNr', width: 100, align: 'left'}
],
rowNum: 10,
height: 230,
width: 700,
idPrefix: mainGridPrefix,
autoheight: true,
rowList: [10, 20, 30],
pager: jQuery('#shipment_grid_pager'),
sortname: 'trackingNr',
sortorder: "desc",
jsonReader: {
root: "records",
page: "page",
total: "total",
records: "rows",
repeatitems: false
},
viewrecords: true,
altRows: false,
gridview: true,
multiselect:true,
hidegrid: false,
shrinkToFit: true,
forceFit: true,
idPrefix: mainGridPrefix,
caption: "Shipments Overview",
subGrid: true,
beforeProcessing: function(data) {
//align 'Lead Tracking #' column header to the left
grid.jqGrid ('setLabel', 'trackingNr', '', {'text-align':'left'});
var rows = data.rows, l = rows.length, i, item, subgrids = {};
for (i = 0; i < l; i++) {
item = rows[i];
if (item.shipUnitView) {
subgrids[item.id] = item.shipUnitView;
}
}
data.userdata = subgrids;
},
subGridRowExpanded: function (subgridDivId, rowId) {
var $subgrid = $("<table id='" + subgridDivId + "_t'></table>"),
pureRowId = $.jgrid.stripPref(mainGridPrefix, rowId),
subgrids = $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam", "userData");
$subgrid.appendTo("#" + $.jgrid.jqID(subgridDivId));
$subgrid.jqGrid({
datatype: "local",
data: subgrids[pureRowId],
colNames: ['Ship Type (Pallet / Carton)', 'Ship Unit (Pallet ID / Cone #)', 'Total Cartons'],
colModel: [
{ name: "shipUnitType", index: 'shipUnitType', width: 100, align: 'center'},
{ name: "reference", index: 'reference', width: 100, align: 'center'},
{ name: "totalOfCartons", index: 'totalOfCartons', width: 100, align: 'center'}
],
sortname: "shipUnitType",
sortorder: "desc",
height: "100%",
rowNum: 10,
autowidth: true,
autoencode: true,
jsonReader: {
root: "records",
records: "rows",
repeatitems: false,
id: "reference" },
gridview: true,
idPrefix: rowId + "_"
});
}
}).navGrid('#shipment_grid_pager', {edit: false, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: true});
});
This is my json data from the server:
{"page":1,
"records":[
{"id":2,"trackingNr":"1Z1484366620874728",
"shipUnitView":[{"reference":"65000943","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1},
{"reference":"65000942","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1}]},
{"id":4, "trackingNr":"1Z1484366620874746"
"shipUnitView":[{"reference":"65000940","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1},
{"reference":"65000939","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1}]},
{"id":3, "trackingNr":"1Z1484366620874764"
"shipUnitView":[{"reference":"65000938","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1},
{"reference":"65000937","shipUnitType":"CARTON","totalOfCartons":1}]}
],
"recordsTotal":3,"rows":10,"sidx":null,"sord":"asc","total":1,"trackingNr":null,"truckId":"174225","truckShipmentComponent":{}}

First of all there are small errors in the JSON data which you posted. It contains no commas after "trackingNr":"1Z1484366620874746" and "trackingNr":"1Z1484366620874764". I hope that it's only cut&paste error during preparing the data for the question. In any way it would be more safe to include loadError callback (see the answer) in case of loading errors.
Your main error seems to me are inside of beforeProcessing callback. The data parameter of the callback contains the server response. The array of items you have inside of data.records, but you use var rows = data.rows, ... instead. The line should be fixed to var rows = data.records, ....
One asked you in the comment to prepare JSFiddle demo which demonstrates the problem and you had problems to prepare it because of usage datatype: "json". On the other side JSFiddle do provides you possibility to implement demos in the case. One can use Echo service. In case of jqGrid one needs just use mtype: "POST" and url: "/echo/json/". To inform echo service which data you want to have one need just send JSON encoded data in json parameter. So the fill looks like
// the data which we want to receive back
var serverResponse = {
"page":1,
...
};
$("#gridId").jqGrid({
url: "/echo/json/", // use JSFiddle echo service
postData: {
json: JSON.stringify(serverResponse) // needed for JSFiddle echo service
},
datatype: "json",
mtype: "POST", // needed for JSFiddle echo service
...
});
The working JSFiddle demo you can find here: http://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/ntfw57zm/. I makes some small additional optimization of your code.
I hope the example could help other people to post his questions with JSFiddle demos.

Jqgrid having trouble loading all data from the server using loadonce

so I have a grid that uses loadonce set to true and rowTotal to spicify the number of rows returned. My database has about 200,000 records, however it seems to timeout if I set the return to that amount, I can only really load about 20,000 records without any problems. Is there a way to make it return everything from the database? My query I use to retrieve the values is
public IEnumerable<vwWell> GetAll()
{
return from e in db.vwWells
select e;
}
my web API code is
static readonly IWellRepository repository = new WellRepository();
WellsMigrationEntities db = new WellsMigrationEntities();
// GET api/values
public dynamic Get(string sidx, string sord, int page, int totalrows)
{
var wells = repository.GetAll() as IEnumerable<vwWell>;
var pageIndex = Convert.ToInt32(page) - 1;
var pageSize = totalrows;
var totalRecords = wells.Count();
var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((float)totalRecords / (float)pageSize);
wells = wells.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize).Take(pageSize);
var jsonData = new
{
total = totalrows,
page = page,
records = totalRecords,
rows = wells.ToArray() //We need an array of objects for the rows
};
return jsonData;
}
and my grid code is
<script>
var API_URL = "http://localhost:41389/api/well";
jQuery("#gridMain").jqGrid({
url: API_URL,
datatype: "json",
mtype: 'GET',
loadonce: true,
gridview: true,
autowidth: true,
sortable: true,
viewrecords: true,
colNames: ['Id', 'APINumber', 'CountyName', 'LeaseName'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'WellKey', index: 'WellKey', width: 55, sorttype: "int", hidden: true},
{ name: 'APINumber', index: 'APINumber', width: 90, sorttype: "text" },
{ name: 'CountyName', index: 'CountyName', width: 100, sorttype: "text" },
{ name: 'LeaseName', index: 'LeaseName', width: 80, sorttype: "text" }
],
pager: '#pager3',
rowNum: 200,
rowTotal: 20000,
jsonReader: { repeatitems: false, id: "WellKey" },
rowList: [200, 300, 500],
sortname: 'WellKey',
sortorder: "desc",
caption: "JSON Example"
});
See how I have rowTotal set to 20,000, if I dont set that nothing returns, but it seems I am limited in the number of rows it is able to return.
