remember previous settings with page loads

jackalbright

I would like datatables to go to the state it was in the last time I had the page open. The parameters I'm interested in are Page, Sort Column, Sort Direction, and Previous Search Criteria.

I see that I can use fnPageChange() to go to the page. The others I have not figured out yet.

Also, I see that there is a function called fnSettings(), Is this the function I need to call to get the Sort, Search, and Page info that I need? I looked at the output of fnSettings() and I'm not real sure which values I should grab.

Thanks,
Jack

Perhaps the bStateSave option would do what you want?

When I add bStateSave, it completely breaks DataTables. The page loads but my data is just a raw table. My DataTables version is 1.9.0.

The error I get is:
TypeError: j is undefined (in datatables.min.js)

Here's how I enable bStateSave:

oTable = jQuery('#subscriptionTable_dataTable').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bStateSave": true,
"aLengthMenu": [[10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"]],
"oTableTools": {
"aButtons": [
"print"
]
}
});

Looks find to me - can you link to the page so I can debug it please? Also, try clearing your cookie just incase something duff is stored in a current cookie.
