DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets

    Hi there,

    Quick question : is there any possibility, to set up a column filter for a particular column, to hide this column in table press, but still have the filter displayed on the webpage ?

    At the moment, the filter disappears as soon as I hide the column.

    For example, I have a table with :
    Fruits / Price / Origin / Quality.

    I would like my user to be able to filter per quality : good / avg / poor, but not the column quality to be shown in the table.

    All the best and thanks for the great plugin.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, this should be possible, but you will have to hide the column in a different way. Instead of doing that on the “Edit” screen, you’ll have to do it with a “Custom Command” for the DataTables JS library (there’s a textfield for this on the “Edit” screen), like

    "columnDefs": [ { "visible": false, "targets": 4 } ]

    The 4 indicates that the 5th column shall be hidden, as counting starts with 0.

    Hi Tobias,

    This worked perfect. Many thanks.

    However, because the column widget plugin has to show all filter, then hide them by exclusion, it makes automatically the width of all column go to their maximum so that the filtering box can show every string. Regardless of the css classes I created.

    Any work around you thought about ?
    Would be fantastic.

    All the best.

    Hi,

    I’m not really sure that I understand. Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
