Hide column with custom command.

    Looking thru the forum I found a few answers to what I was trying to do. Here’s the rub: The answers are over a year old and using the EXACT same method I’m getting an error in the JS for datatables now..

    Like others I need to hide a column but still have it searchable. I have this in the custom commands field for the table:

    “columnDefs”: [ { “visible”: false, “targets”: [ 3 ] } ]

    intending to hide column 3 (4th column starting count at 0).

    This now breaks the JS for tablepress. I get the following error in the browser:

    TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘i._DT_CellIndex={row:b,column:l}’)
    Jajquery.datatables.min.js:23:174
    Njquery.datatables.min.js:15:231
    (anonymous function)jquery.datatables.min.js:15:343
    (anonymous function)jquery.js:1:927
    mapjquery.js:1:3717
    mapjquery.js:1:894
    majquery.datatables.min.js:15:310

    Just the first few lines in the call stack.

    Any hep would be fantastic.

    also tried a different version that was posted here that was even older same results:

    “aoColumnDefs”: [ { “bVisible”: false, “aTargets”: [ 6 ] } ]

    Figured out the issue:

    Hidden columns via the plugin editor are not counted/visible at all to the JS so my numbering was wonky.

    Sorry/Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
    Also, sorry for the long wait for a reply. As a I was on a long vacation without internet access the last couple weeks, I could not reply earlier.

    Yes, the counting only applies to the actual columns that are sent to the browser. Good to hear that you already found this! ??

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
