Hi
My application uses tables with a whole bunch of columns. I'm using the fabulous ColVis plugin to hide and show the columns the user wants. Thanks to fnStateSave, I can very easily keep all filters and columns present after a page reload.
The problem is that if there's a filter present in one of the columns (I've got input boxes below each column) and that column is hidden, it's confusing for the user. The user sees a filtered table, but cannot see which column has been filtered.
My question is: I would like to implement a global table reset button, that clears the saved state of the current table only: filters, columns... the whole shabang. Ideally the button would be displayed in the same manner as the TableTools and ColVis buttons.
How would I go about implementing such a feature?
[code]
"bStateSave": true,
"fnStateSave": function (oSettings, oData) {
localStorage.setItem( 'DataTables_'+window.location.pathname, JSON.stringify(oData) );
},
"fnStateLoad": function (oSettings) {
return JSON.parse( localStorage.getItem('DataTables_'+window.location.pathname) );
},
"fnStateLoadParams": function (oSettings, oData) {
$(oData.aoSearchCols).each(function(index,value) {
if(value.sSearch != '') {
$("input.search_init[data-colno='" + index + "']").val(value.sSearch);
}
});
}
[/code]
Thanks in advance for your answer. And thank you for your great software! My client LOVES it!
