Search button instead of Ajax

    The Data Publisher uses an input field for search that is “live” using ajax to do every keystroke causing a database search, with some limits. But the Data Project setup uses a Search button so the user enters the search criteria and then presses Search.

    Is it possible to use the search button using Publisher. I have read several solutions in DataTable forums to override the JS code but wondered if there was a simple way to do it within this plugin.

    Hi Charles,

    The publisher is meant to use on your website and is read-only. Projects are meant for data entry. These are two different kind of user target groups. I prefer to stick to the frameworks (WP_List_Table for project and jQuery DataTables for publisher) as I believe that a consistent user interface improves the user interaction.

    You are free to change the behaviour. For jQuery DataTables you can use column table options (advanced). In the next version this column offers even more possibilities and allows you to add button and javascript functions. It should be possible to add a general search button. There are several demos available on the web.

    Hope this helps…

    Best regards,
    Peter
