Can I show page info instead of record info for sInfo?

Simon79

Instead of displaying something like the following for sInfo:

"Showing 1 to 10 of 15 entries"

is it possible to just show something like:

"Showing page 1 of 2"

and exclude the filtering details, etc? All I want is for the current set of filtered data the page I'm on and the total number of pages.

Actually, currently no - but I think that's a darn good idea. I'll integrate that into DataTables 1.10 as its a fairly simple change.

You could use fnInfoCallback in 1.9- and the plug-in fnPagingInfo to achieve this, but I'll put it straight into the core for 1.10. I'll try to do this later on today.

Brilliant, I look forward to it. If there were couple more "variables" available for use in the oLanguage.sInfo* settings (CURRENTPAGE and TOTALPAGES?) that would be nice too. :)

I'll have a look at the fnInfoCallback options.

thanks!

fnInfoCallback + fnPagingInfo works nicely too, thanks Alan.

FYI for anyone who needs something like this, just add fnPagingInfo:

[code]
/* API method to get paging information */
$.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnPagingInfo = function(oSettings) {
return {
"iStart": oSettings._iDisplayStart,
"iEnd": oSettings.fnDisplayEnd(),
"iLength": oSettings._iDisplayLength,
"iTotal": oSettings.fnRecordsTotal(),
"iFilteredTotal": oSettings.fnRecordsDisplay(),
"iPage": oSettings._iDisplayLength === -1 ?
0 : Math.ceil(oSettings._iDisplayStart / oSettings._iDisplayLength),
"iTotalPages": oSettings._iDisplayLength === -1 ?
0 : Math.ceil(oSettings.fnRecordsDisplay() / oSettings._iDisplayLength)
};
};
[/code]

then use fnInfoCallback:

[code]
'fnInfoCallback': function (oSettings) {
var pagingInfo = $.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnPagingInfo(oSettings);
return 'Showing page ' + (pagingInfo.iPage + 1) + ' of ' + pagingInfo.iTotalPages;
}
[/code]

I've just added `_PAGE_` and `_PAGES_` options into DataTables 1.10 (which is currently pre-beta).

Commit here: https://github.com/DataTables/DataTablesSrc/commit/04be76a

And if you are feeling brave, the built source here: https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables/blob/1_10_wip/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js

This means that in 1.10 you can do:

[code]
$('#example').dataTable( {
language: {
info: "Showing page _PAGE_ of _PAGES_"
}
} );
[/code]

Nice suggestion - thanks for this :-)
