I'm using Datatables and all works well with being able to edit simple data ie Names etc, what I'm trying to understand how I get it to have a DateTime Picker and SELECT OPTION with in it.
I have 2 columns that I want edit, as I say one being a DateTime and the other I want to add a SELECT Option.
This is my code so far, when reading about them through datatables-editable it isn't quite clear how I can achieve this especially when my Editable.js doesnt look anything like theirs.
Can you give me advice on how I can get them both to be added in, so it is easier for my end users to update the info.
var oTable = $('#tobebookedtable').dataTable();
oTable.$('td').editable( '../../../includes/planning/plg_tobebooked_edit.php', {
tooltip: 'Click to edit...',
"callback": function(sValue, y) {
var aPos = oTable.fnGetPosition(this);
oTable.fnUpdate(sValue, aPos[0], aPos[1]);
},
"submitdata": function (value, settings) {
return {
"row_id": this.getAttribute('id'),
"column": oTable.fnGetPosition(this)[2]
};
},
"height": "26px",
"width": "100%"
});
I tried with a test SELECT putting it after "width": "100%"
but this just appeared in every column when you click to edit
type : 'select',
style : 'display: inline',
data : "{'A':'Test A','B':'Test B','C':'Test C'}"
My table
<table class="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered" id="tobebookedtable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Address</th>
<th>Postcode</th>
<th>Planned</th>
<th>TimeSlot</th>
<th>ByWho</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$plg = db::getInstance()->query('CALL sp_tobebooked()');
foreach ($plg->results() as $plg) {
?>
<tr id="<?php echo $plg->ID; ?>">
<td><?php echo $plg->Address; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $plg->Postcode; ?></td>
<td id="<?php echo $plg->ID; ?>"><?php echo $plg->Planned; ?></td>
<td id="<?php echo $plg->ID; ?>"><?php echo $plg->TimeSlot; ?></td>
<td id="<?php echo $plg->ID; ?>"><?php echo $plg->ByWho; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php }; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
test example from TCHdvlp's advice
$('#tobebookedtable').dataTable( {
//for each generated row
"createdRow": function( row, data, dataIndex ) {
//create the dropdown
var myDropDown = $('<select><option value=""></option><option value="Yes">Yes</option><option value="No">No</option></select>');
//bind this dropdown with the JS object used by dataTable
myDropDown.on("change",function(){
data.ByWho = $(this).val();
});
//inject this dropdown in the desired column
$(row).find("td:eq("+data.ByWho+")").html(myDropDown);
}
});
Here is how to achieve this. You don't need "editable.js". All is done with this option createdRow( row, data, dataIndex ) from dataTable plugin.
Here is to use it :
$('#example').dataTable( {
//for each generated row
"createdRow": function( row, data, dataIndex ) {
//create the dropdown
var myDropDown = $("<select>").....
//bind this dropdown with the JS object used by dataTable
myDropDown.on("change",function(){
data.nameOfTheOptionAttribute = $(this).val();
});
//inject this dropdown in the desired column
$(row).find("td:eq("+indexOfColumnDropdown=")").html(myDropDown);
}
});
And your done !
If you want to initialise your dropdown/input/datepicker/whatever, you can do it in this same function. So you don't "erase" the data with .html()
...
var myDropDown = $("<select>").....
initMyDropdown(data.nameOfTheOptionAttribute)
...
Other example : transform simple data into editable field
$('#example').dataTable( {
//for each generated row
"createdRow": function( row, data, dataIndex ) {
var price = data.price !=null ? data.price : 0;
var inputPrice = $("<input type='text' class='editprice' value='" + price + "' />");
inputPrice.on("blur",function(){
data.price = $(this).val();
});
$(row).find("td:eq(" + indexOfColPrice + ")").html(inputPrice);
}
});
