I’ve add DataTables Editable to my table to able to add and delete some

  • 0

I’ve add DataTables Editable to my table to able to add and delete some rows.
The add part works great, but I’m having some problem with the delete part, because I can’t select the rows.

By what I’ve seen in the example all I’ve to do is to add the delete URL, something like this:

.makeEditable({sDeleteURL: “/DeleteURL”});

But that dosent make my rows selectable so I can delete anthing.

My full code is:

$(function () {
    var oTable = $('.table-@Model.Numero').dataTable(
        {
            "oLanguage": { "sUrl": "/LanguageURL" },
            "bProcessing": true,
            "bFilter": false,
            "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
            "iDisplayLength": 10,
            "bLengthChange": false,
            "aoColumnDefs": [{ "sClass": "center-col", "aTargets": ['align-center-col'] },
                { "sClass": "read_only", "aTargets": ['read-only-col'] },
                { "sClass": "small-width-col", "aTargets": ['small-col'] }],
            "aaSorting": [[0, "desc"]],
            "bScrollCollapse": true,
            "bServerSide": true,
            "sAjaxSource": '/DataURL',
            "fnServerData": function (sSource, aoData, fnCallback) {
                aoData.push({ "name": "Numero", "value": $(this).find("#Numero").val() });
                $.ajax({
                    "dataType": 'json',
                    "type": "POST",
                    "url": sSource,
                    "data": aoData,
                    "success": fnCallback
                });
            }
        }).makeEditable({
            sAddNewRowFormId: 'form-@Model.Numero',
            sAddNewRowButtonId: 'btn-@Model.Numero',
            btnDeleteRow: 'btn-del-@Model.Numero',
            sAddURL: "/AddURL",
            sDeleteURL: "/DeleteURL"
        });
});

    I’ve personally been playing around with getting the datatables delete function to work for one of my projects.

    What I’ve found is I needed to include the jquery-ui.js script in the head of the document.

    I also discovered that you need to format your table rows like this. <tr id="1"> so that datatables can automatically grab the correct id # from the selected row and pass it on to your php page for further processing.

    Datatables can automatically add an id to each table row through the use of DT_RowId special property.

    If you have set up datatables to use server side implementation, then you can include DT_RowId in the JSON data returned from the server in response to the ajax request .

    For example JSON format:

    { 
 "sEcho": 1,
 "iTotalRecords": "1",
 "iTotalDisplayRecords": "1",
 "aaData": [
  {
    "DT_RowId": "1",
    "engine": "Trident",
    "browser": "Internet Explorer 4.0",
    "platform": "Win 95+",
"version": "4",
    "grade": "X"
  }
 ]
}

    Here is my example mockup code. Server side implementation isn’t included with this example I’m just using the example source objects.txt that came with datatables for an example.
