Fnfilter serverside

chrischen

I noticed fnfilter does not send the sSearch in the headers for the post request. How can I get it sent to properly filter the serverside results?

Thanks

Also, I set bFilter: false since I'm using a custom search box.

Ok I found a solution.

I set sDom to just 't' and set bFilter to false. Is this the intended solution though, because it feels unintuitive.

Thanks

Hi chrischen,

Yes this is intended - if you set bFilter to false, then filtering is switched off - not unreasonable I hope :-). However if you want filtering switched on, but for DataTables to just not add it's input element, then you simply remove the 'f' option from sDom.

Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I was running into the same issue as chrischen. This will solve my problem, but how do I remove the 'f' option from sDom?

I want to filter on individual columns, but I don't want the global search box rendered. Enabling bFilter allowed me to get the parameters sent to the server.

Thanks!
