server side select all button

davcarnaby

Hi there,

is it possibile to make a server side button for select all row on the display atm??

many thx

davcarnaby

any idea about it?? :(

No - the whole point of server-side processing is that not all of the rows are available on the client-side, so it isn't possible to select all. It might be possible to put a hack in to tell TableTools to automatically select rows when they are loaded when in 'all' mode, but deselected rows would be a nightmare. You'd need to track each row, at which point there is no point in using server-side processing.

sorry about that, for " all " i mean the 10/25/50/100 visibles on the screen atm.

Use aLengthMenu - there is an example in the documentation.

I have a server side application and I want to allow the selection of multiple rows. time:
I can do this by select line by line (even if I change the page lines are selected, saving the identifier in an array as I read here on the forum).
But I would like something similar using the "select-all" only the rows that are displayed.

is this possible?

allan

Yes - a select all only visible rows would work - and how how TableTools works.

Can you please link me to a test case for what you are trying to do, as I'm getting very confused.

Sure Allan,look at this :

http://datatables.net/examples/server_side/select_rows.html

in this server side's example,even when changing page the selected row remaing so .

now i need a similar function with "select all" button .

(select all = the 10 or the 25 or the 50 or the x row in a page )

I hope I explained it well :)
