I have used your datatables quite a bit and I must say it is a great augmentation to the way we can interact with data. However, I have been going insane getting my table to work using ajax and json. I am initiating the table with the following:

I have used your datatables quite a bit and I must say it is a great augmentation to the way we can interact with data. However, I have been going insane getting my table to work using ajax and json. I am initiating the table with the following:
currentTableObject = $('#parentList').dataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"sAjaxSource": "/DSLMobile/admin/parent/parent.ajax.php?action=list",
"aoColumns": [{"mDataProp":"ID"},
{"mDataProp":"NAME"},
{"mDataProp":"PHONE"},
{"mDataProp":"ISCOACH"},
{"mDataProp":"ISDIVCOORD"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.SPONSOR_EDIT"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.SPONSOR_CREATE"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.WEBEDITOR"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.TREASURER"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.EVENTMANAGEMENT"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.DSLPresident"},
{"mDataProp":"ROLES.DSLVICEPRESIDENT"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_coach"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_coach_assistant"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_divcoordinator"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_sponsor"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_web"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_unifor"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_photo"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.volunteer_trophy"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.girl_jamboree"},
{"mDataProp":"VOLUNTEER.pier40_advocate"}
],
"sDom": '<"tableToolBar"f>rti',
// "bProcessing": true,
"bSortCellsTop": true,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"bPaginate": false,
"bSort" : false,
"sScrollY": $(window).height() - $("#parentList").offset().top-200,
"fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex ) {
// Append the grade to the default row class name
for (c=3;c<colSpanRoles+3;c++){
$('td:eq('+c+')',nRow).addClass('vanillaBackgr');
}
}
});
The data I am retrieving using
sAjaxSource looks ok to me. Here is a short snipped:
{"aaData":[{"ID":"6922","NAME":"Bergen, Thomas","PHONE":"646-765-8320","ISCOACH":false,"ISDIVCOORD":false,"ROLES":{"SPONSOR_EDIT":false,"SPONSOR_CREATE":false,"WEBEDITOR":false,"TREASURER":false,"EVENTMANAGEMENT":false,"DSLPresident":false,"DSLVICEPRESIDENT":false},"VOLUNTEER":{"volunteer_coach":false,"volunteer_coach_assistant":false,"volunteer_divcoordinator":false,"volunteer_sponsor":false,"volunteer_web":false,"volunteer_unifor":false,"volunteer_photo":false,"volunteer_trophy":false,"girl_jamboree":false,"pier40_advocate":false}},{"ID":"6923","NAME":"Hubbard, Andy","PHONE":"646-207-6145","ISCOACH":false,"ISDIVCOORD":false,"ROLES":{"SPONSOR_EDIT":false,"SPONSOR_CREATE":false,"WEBEDITOR":false,"TREASURER":false,"EVENTMANAGEMENT":false,"DSLPresident":false,"DSLVICEPRESIDENT":false},"VOLUNTEER":{"volunteer_coach":false,"volunteer_coach_assistant":false,"volunteer_divcoordinator":false,"volunteer_sponsor":false,"volunteer_web":false,"volunteer_unifor":false,"volunteer_photo":false,"volunteer_trophy":false,"girl_jamboree":false,"pier40_advocate":false}},{"ID":"6924","NAME":"Radnay, Craig","PHONE":"917-796-9642","ISCOACH":true,"ISDIVCOORD":false,"ROLES":{"SPONSOR_EDIT":false,"SPONSOR_CREATE":false,"WEBEDITOR":false,"TREASURER":false,"EVENTMANAGEMENT":false,"DSLPresident":false,"DSLVICEPRESIDENT":false},"VOLUNTEER":{"volunteer_coach":false,"volunteer_coach_assistant":false,"volunteer_divcoordinator":false,"volunteer_sponsor":false,"volunteer_web":false,"volunteer_unifor":true,"volunteer_photo":false,"volunteer_trophy":false,"girl_jamboree":false,"pier40_advocate":false}}]}
It's odd because I am getting the "warning" DataTables warning (table id = 'parentList'): DataTables warning: JSON data from server could not be parsed. This is caused by a JSON formatting error - I just don't know why.
