Highlight specific row base on content in jquery datatables

I am using jquery datatables.net and I have a table with information. In the one column I have true or false values for whether the user is active or not. I am trying to get it so when the value is false, highlight the value. Right now my code for my table settings looks like this:
//Settings for datatable
$('#userTable').DataTable({
"jQueryUI": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": {
"type": "POST",
url: "/Management/StaffGet",
"contentType": 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
'data': function (data) { console.log(data); return data = JSON.stringify(data); }
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "employeeNumber" },
{ "data": "firstName" },
{ "data": "lastName" },
{ "data": "role" },
{
"data": "active",
},
{
"data": "employeeNumber",
"render": function (data, type, full, meta)
{
return 'Edit | Delete ';
}
}
],
"order": [[ 0, "asc"]],
"paging": true,
"deferRender": true,
"processing": true,
"stateSave": false,
"lengthMenu": [[5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, "All"]],
"pageLength": 10,
"pagingType": "simple_numbers",
"searching": false,
"createdRow": function ( row, data, index ) {
if (data[4] == "false" ) {
$('td', row).eq(5).addClass('highlight');
}
}
});`
Then my code for css is:
`<style type="text/css">
td.highlight {
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
}
</style>`
I feel like there is a problem with the setting on the column, any help is appreciated.

Try
$('#userTable').DataTable({
...
"createdRow": function( row, data, dataIndex ) {
//console.log(data[4]);
if ( data[4] == "false" ) {
//console.log($(row).find("td").eq(4).html());
$(row).find("td").eq(4).addClass( 'highlight' );
}},
...
The commented log statements are in there to check you are getting and comparing the correct data.
Tested with datatables 1.10.1

Push AJAX retrieved JSON into Datatables

I'm using the datatables plugin and it's working fine for me. However, I'm making multiple calls to populate multiple tables, when I know I could make one AJAX call and store the results in a variable and have each table function use that variable for its data, but I can't get it to work.
I'm using something like to to get the data I need.
var all_data;
$.ajax({
async : false,
url: 'all_data.php',
type: 'GET',
success: function(data) {
all_data = data;
console.log(all_data);
}
})
The idea is to pass all_data variable into my table function (I have several on this one page) without having to make multiple calls. Doing the following returns one column with the letter "a", which isn't right. The data that comes back is JSON coded. I've used the below code, but with the AJAX function as part of the table function:
$("#my_table").DataTable({
"data":all_data
,
"paging": true,
"sDom": '<"top">t<"bottom"><"clear">',
"pageLength": 50,
"order": [[ 4, "desc" ]],
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "0%", "sClass": "lang_body_2", "sTitle": "","visible":false },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false, "width": "10%", "sClass": "lang_body_2 table_names", "sTitle": "" },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false,"width": "20%", "sClass": "lang_body_2", "sTitle": "Database","visible":false},
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false ,"width": "20%","sClass": "lang_body_2","sTitle": "National Average","visible":false },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false ,"width": "50%","sClass": "lang_body_2 index_num table_index","sTitle": "" },
],
"columns": [
{ "searchable": true },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
],
"search": {
"search": "gen"
},
"columns": [
{ "width": "20%" },
null,
null,
null,
{ "width": "80%" },
],
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
colorIndex();}
});
});
What am I doing wrong here? I'm suspecting I have to prepare all_data somehow, but I'm not sure what that might be.
EDIT: If I console.log the data returned, this is what I get (cut off for brevity):
Object {draw: 0, recordsTotal: 484, recordsFiltered: 484, data: Array[484]}
data: Array[484]
[0 … 99]
0: Array[5]
0: "edu"1: "High School"2: "37.90"3: "49.70"4: "76"length: 5

Your code looks fine, the only thing you need to do is
Assign your datatable to a variable and then in your ajax resolve clear, add data and draw the table.
var all_data;
$.ajax({
async : false,
url: 'all_data.php',
type: 'GET',
success: function(data) {
all_data = data;
console.log(all_data);
table.clear().row.add(all_data).draw(); //clear, add data and draw
}
});
// Assign your datatable to a variable
var table = $("#my_table").DataTable({
"data":all_data
,
"paging": true,
"sDom": '<"top">t<"bottom"><"clear">',
"pageLength": 50,
"order": [[ 4, "desc" ]],
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "0%", "sClass": "lang_body_2", "sTitle": "","visible":false },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false, "width": "10%", "sClass": "lang_body_2 table_names", "sTitle": "" },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false,"width": "20%", "sClass": "lang_body_2", "sTitle": "Database","visible":false},
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false ,"width": "20%","sClass": "lang_body_2","sTitle": "National Average","visible":false },
{ "bSortable": true, "searchable": false ,"width": "50%","sClass": "lang_body_2 index_num table_index","sTitle": "" },
],
"columns": [
{ "searchable": true },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
{ "searchable": false },
],
"search": {
"search": "gen"
},
"columns": [
{ "width": "20%" },
null,
null,
null,
{ "width": "80%" },
],
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
colorIndex();}
});
});

Datatables js 1.9.4 pagination and search doesn't work with server side generation

I'm using datatables js 1.9.4 and use their ajax data population capabilities. When I create them in this way pagination shows controls and search bar is there as well, but neither work. Alos the data table is showing all data in one page.
Here is the generation JS:
$("#prop_table").dataTable({
"aaSorting": [[2, "desc" ]],
"sDom": "<'row'<'col-lg-9'l><'col-lg-3'f>r>t<'row'<'col-lg-5'i><'col-lg-7'p>>",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"bJQueryUI": false,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aLengthMenu": [[5, 10, 25, -1], [5, 10, 25, "All"]],
"iDisplayLength": 5,
"oLanguage": {
"sSearch": "<span></span> _INPUT_",
"sLengthMenu": "<span>_MENU_</span>",
"oPaginate": { "sFirst": "First", "sLast": "Last" }
},
"bProcessing": true,
"iDisplayLength":5 ,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "/php/api_prop_down.php",
"aoColumns": [{
"mData":"name"
},{
"mData": "time_down"
},{
"mData": "status_id"
},{
"mData": "button",
"mRender": function(data){
if (data != "null" )
return "<button id=\"prop_issue"+data+"\" issue=\""+data+"\" class=\"btn\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#myModal\" onclick=\"getTicket("+data+")\">"+data+"</button>";
else
return "no ticket";
}
}
]
});
$('.dataTables_length select').uniform();
$('.dataTables_paginate > ul').addClass('pagination');
$('.dataTables_filter>label>input').addClass('form-control');
// Set the classes that TableTools uses to something suitable for Bootstrap
$.extend( true, $.fn.DataTable.TableTools.classes, {
"container": "btn-group",
"buttons": {
"normal": "btn",
"disabled": "btn disabled"
},
"collection": {
"container": "DTTT_dropdown dropdown-menu",
"buttons": {
"normal": "",
"disabled": "disabled"
}
}
} );
// Have the collection use a bootstrap compatible dropdown
$.extend( true, $.fn.DataTable.TableTools.DEFAULTS.oTags, {
"collection": {
"container": "ul",
"button": "li",
"liner": "a"
}
} );
MY server side script returns a JSON, which is an encoded php array:
$output = array("sEcho" => intval($_GET['sEcho']),
"iTotalRecords" => $count,
"iTotalDisplayRecords" => 5,
"aaData" => $aaData );
....
echo json_encode(propsDownJSON());
Anyone has any insight as to why could this be happening?

jQuery AutoComplete plugin - minLength is taking no effect

The autocomplete is working fine, but it's displaying the auto suggestion box with 1 character, and I would like to change it to display the auto suggestion box only when the input is >=3.
I've been trying to insert 'minLength' option but it is not taking any effetct.
I've tried to modify the sixth line to:
.autocomplete(conf.opts, minLength: 3 || {});
But had no success.
Here's my JS file:
var myEditor;
// AutoComplete FieldType
$.fn.dataTable.Editor.fieldTypes.autoComplete = $.extend(true, {}, $.fn.dataTable.Editor.models.fieldType, {
"create": function (conf) {
conf._input = $('<input type="text" id="' + conf.id + '">')
.autocomplete(conf.opts || {});
return conf._input[0];
},
"get": function (conf) {
return conf._input.val();
},
"set": function (conf, val) {
conf._input.val(val);
},
"enable": function (conf) {
conf._input.autocomplete('enable');
},
"disable": function (conf) {
conf._input.autocomplete('disable');
},
// Non-standard Editor method - custom to this plug-in
"node": function (conf) {
return conf._input;
}
});
$(document).ready(function () {
myEditor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
"ajaxUrl": "./php/pTreinamentos.php",
"domTable": "#example",
"fields": [{
"label": "Tema",
"name": "tema",
"type": "autoComplete",
"opts": {
"source": ['banana']
}
}
]
});
// DataTable
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'T><'span6'f>r>t<'row-fluid'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
"sAjaxSource": "./php/pTreinamentos.php",
"bFilter": true,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"iDisplayLength": 20,
"aoColumns": [{
"mData": "tema"
}
],
"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "../../TableTools/media/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
"sRowSelect": "single",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"aButtons": [{
"sExtends": "editor_create",
"editor": myEditor
}, {
"sExtends": "editor_edit",
"editor": myEditor
}, {
"sExtends": "editor_remove",
"editor": myEditor
}
]
}
});
});

The solution was to add the option inside the field structure.
"fields": [{
"label": "Data",
"name": "data",
"type": "autoComplete",
"opts": {
"source": ['banana'],
"minLength": 3
}
