I tried to implement column-reorder event handler by following this documentation: https://datatables.net/reference/event/column-reorder
But when I tried it, it doesn't work. Here is the demo: http://live.datatables.net/woheqasu/1/
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
columnReorder: true
});
table.on( 'column-reorder', function ( e, settings, details ) {
alert("Reordered");
});
} );
body {
font: 90%/1.45em "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #333;
background-color: #fff;
}

For the result, it should show the "Alert" every time users reorder the columns. Is there anything that I miss?
Have a look
column-reorder is an event which fires when Columns have been reordered by the end user or API. Please note - this property requires the ColReorder extension for DataTables.
I change your code like this:
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#example').DataTable({
colReorder: true
});
} );
And it starts re-ordering.
Also your event handler is perfect but Live Datatables JS bin may not support alert, better do something like this (Alert is past, use console.log*):
table.on( 'column-reorder', function ( e, settings, details ) {
console.log('Hey!! You are fired, column-reorder');
});
For better debugging always track your console.
Here's my code snippet.

How can I override and customize the datatable js feature?
I am using jquery.dataTables.min.js( DataTables V1.10.11). This js is working well for me, I need to customize the "Show entries" Dropdown menu to a button.
Currently is showing look like this "Show entries" as Dropdown
I need to as button like this
You can do this to create similar buttons
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
dom: 'Bfrtip',
buttons: [{
text: '10',
action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
table.page.len(10).draw();
}
},
{
text: '25',
action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
table.page.len(25).draw();
}
},
{
text: '50',
action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
table.page.len(50).draw();
}
},
{
text: '100',
action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
table.page.len(100).draw();
}
},
{
text: 'To dos',
action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
//do whatever you want to do
}
}
]
});
});

I'd like to filter the datatable rows by an array of ids and redraw the filtered table. However, I could not get it to work by any combination of rows(...).invalidate().data().draw(...).
Here is a toy example
The JS snippet to show the rows 1, 4, and 10:
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
console.log("hey");
table.rows([0, 3, 9]).draw();
})
} );
My expected output would be to see only those 3 rows but I still see the full table.
I was also thinking about an ID column that I wouldn't show but could use for searching purposes only by column(0).search(id_column in ids)
Use table.data() to get the current data.
Apply a custom filter() to get the desired rows.
Re-draw the data rows:
Updated Snippet:
$(document).ready( function () {
// Tabel
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
// On button click
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
// ALlowed id's

If you want to filter your data, then you can use column().search() to find the rows with your data:
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
table.column(2).search('London').draw();
})
} );
Here, the code would search all rows with data "London" in the second column and re-draw the table.
To filter based on row index, you can add a custom filter and filter your data table based on that.
var ids = [];
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function( settings, data, dataIndex ) {
if ($.inArray(dataIndex, ids) > -1) {
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
);
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable(); // The table draws with full data.
// Update your array of indexes. This can be as a result of an ajax query or your custom logic. So next time the button is clicked, table would be redrawn with those rows excluded.
ids = [0,1,2,3];
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
table.draw();
});
} );
In the above code, you can update your array ids before redraw (in your case before the button is clicked).
I am having issues with changing the color of the buttons "Print","Excel",&"PDF". I have checked out this reference, but when I followed it, I was still unsuccessful. The test case I have included below is different from my code, but the CSS and button initialization should be the exact same. I chose to use it just because it is static data, and my AJAX call that pulls from SharePoint doesn't work on external sites.
The button by default is white, but I want it to be dark grey to match my table's header row.
Here is a test case snippet of the code.
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
dom: "<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-6'f><'col-sm-12 col-md-6'B>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12'tr>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-5'i><'col-sm-12 col-md-7'p>>",
buttons: [{
extend: 'collection',
className: "btn-dark",
text: 'Export',
buttons:
[{
extend: "pdf", className: "btn-dark"
}],
}]
});
} );
body {
font: 90%/1.45em "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

padding: 0;

background-color: #fff;
}
.btn-dark {

The problem was your css in stackoverflow was implemented before the datatables.min.css.
So you need to make sure that in your application it should be after.
If that cant be done you can use !important but its not preferrable
or you can use the below code
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
dom: "<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-6'f><'col-sm-12 col-md-6'B>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12'tr>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-5'i><'col-sm-12 col-md-7 text-right'p>>",
buttons: [{
extend: 'collection',
className: "btn-dark",
text: 'Export',
buttons:
[{
extend: "pdf", className: "btn-dark"
}],
}]
});
} );
body {
font: 90%/1.45em "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #333;
background-color: #fff;
}
.btn-group-vertical>.btn, .btn-group>.btn{
float:right!important;
}
.dt-buttons .btn-default,.dt-buttons .btn-default:hover, .dt-buttons .btn-default:focus {
height: 40px;
color:#fff;
background: #4d4d4d;
}
.dataTables_filter{
text-align:left!important;
}

I'm using Datatables to display about 20 records and one of my columns contains a group of buttons. One of those buttons is a simple toggle button that, when clicked, sends an AJAX request back to the server and then updates the button (starred vs. not starred using Font Awesome icons) based on the response. The button and AJAX request seem to work fine, but I can't seem to make the star fill in or empty after the AJAX call. Here is my JS:
$(function () {
$('.btn-is_starred').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post( $(this).attr('href'), function( data ) {
if (data.is_starred == true) {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star"></i>');
}
else {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>');
}
});
});
});
Any advice?
You need to use delegated event handlers because links get recreated when table is redrawn.
Below is a sample code that you need to update to match your structure:
$('#example tbody').on('click', '.btn-is_starred', function(e){
// your code
});
See the example below. I have replaced $.post with setting data property is_starred for the sake of simplicity of the example.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable({
"columnDefs": [{
"targets": 5,
"data": null,
"defaultContent": '<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>'
}]
});
$('#example tbody').on('click', '.btn-is_starred', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (!$(this).data('is_starred')) {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star"></i>');
} else {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>');
}
$(this).data('is_starred', !$(this).data('is_starred'));
});
});

See jQuery DataTables – Why click event handler does not work for more information.
I've been trying to figure this out now for a few hours and its not happening. When I load my table I need for it to sort desc on the first col. Here's what I have but no luck.
/**
* Makes the table in the tabs for reports
*
* #param array Holds the data for datatable.
**/
var makeTabTable = function(tableData){
$("#tab_active_reg").dataTable({
bJQueryUI : true,
bDestroy : true,
aoColumns : [
{"sTitle" : "Seen", "sWidth" : "50px", "asSorting": [ "desc"]},
{"sTitle" : "Sold", "sWidth" : "50px"},
{"sTitle" : "Name", "sWidth" : "240px"}
],
aaData : tableData
});
$('.tabsComponent').find('.fg-toolbar').empty();
};
just add this option to the dataTable() call:
aaSorting : [[0, 'desc']]
so in your case:
$("#tab_active_reg").dataTable({
bJQueryUI : true,
bDestroy : true,
aaSorting : [[0, 'desc']],
aoColumns : [
{"sTitle" : "Seen", "sWidth" : "50px"},
{"sTitle" : "Sold", "sWidth" : "50px"},
{"sTitle" : "Name", "sWidth" : "240px"}
],
aaData : tableData
});
as you can see, it is an array of [colnumber, sortdirection], so you can specify multiple.
I have a more simpler answer as per the latest Datatable Documentations.
For example if you want to sort 4th Column of the Data Table by Descending Order on default Load of page then use this code.
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
//We are simply using order property which is an array of array so multiple columns can be ordered like this.
"order": [
[3, 'desc'],
]
});
} );

If you also want to change the default click of columns to be sorted as Descending Order then you can see this fiddle as well.
