Question

I’m trying to use jquery dataTables with TableTools. It needs access to a swf file.
Where should I put the swf folder? And what would the path look like?

example code

$('#dataTable').dataTable({
    "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    "oTableTools": {
        "sSwfPath": "/public/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf"
    }
});

Answer 1

You can just put the .swf file on the public folder, however, when linking to it, you’ll remove the public path and access it as if it were on your application’s root.

So you’ll write something like this:

$('#dataTable').dataTable({
    "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    "oTableTools": {
        "sSwfPath": "/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf"
    }
});
