_DTTT_selected

christatedavies

Hello there. We are using this fantastic library but I am struggling to use the bSelectedOnly for exporting...

I've looked into the code and done some debugging, and I can see there is a function fnGetSelected() which appears to check the _DTTT_selected property of the nodes. However, I cannot see where this gets set on the rows. Do I have to do this myself? I use the "selected" class when clicking on the rows, and this highlights them as expected. But the export ignores it, and if I console.log the items in the aforementioned function, the _DTTT_selected property is non existent.

This is using TableTools 2.2.2 and DataTables 1.10.2

Thanks for any help!

This is using TableTools 2.2.2

That's the problem. Try 2.2.3 and the problem should be resolved :-)

Thanks. That looks better, but do I need to tell the grid what is selected? I have set the class to "selected" but the fnGetSelectedIndexes() function is still returning nothing.

I see the code that sets the attribute is a private function _fnRowSelect() - do I need to call something that calls that for each row?

To select a row, you need to use the API - specifically fnSelect. See: https://datatables.net/extensions/tabletools/api

Okay, thanks for that. I have done that now, but I am struggling to set the sRowSelect to be "multi". When I use the following code, it prevents me from selecting any rows, without the setting in place, the selecting works.

I saw the following line of code from tableTools.js:

bSelectedOnly = this.s.select.type !== "none" && bSelectedOnly && aSelected.length !== 0;

And I console logged this.s.select.type which led me to selecting the sRowSelect property, which I do as shown in this pastebin - http://pastebin.com/2jrTU83r

What am I doing wrong?

As for the selecting, I am doing this:

The multi select approach you have taken appears to work okay for me: http://live.datatables.net/ruhiceqa/1/edit . Clicking the rows select them.

Can you link me to a test case showing the problem please?

Yeah that works for me too. I'll try and get a test for you but it won't be for a couple of days. Too busy!

Thanks for your help thus far Allan...
