initComplete & table reload

stefanoBi

Hi,

sorry for newbie's question, but i'm facing a problem.

I generate a table using ajax json data and i use initComplete to add some class and rewrite a column.
(maybe i may find a better solution but it work).

Now on data change i just call ajax.redraw() to fetch the new data, and it is ok, but i lose all job done by the function attached to initCompleted.

Now for a single table in the page i may just add a callback function to ajax.reload and i have the same job done, but i have multiple page and the code will never scale (it will explode with 6 tables).

There are nay way i can save the function called with initCompled in order to pass it to ajax.reload ?

I hope i made myself clear.

thanks in advance

Sure, you would just pass the function in would you not?

var myCallback = function () { ... };

// for initComplete
initComplete: myCallback

// for reload
table.ajax.reload( myCallback );

Allan,

thank for quick response. Yes this solve my problem, and was something i had tried.

if i have 7 tables in the same code pages i should have 7 dedicate myCallback, not too bad, but i was looking to retrive the calback declared as anonyous function on calling the reload.
Somthing like

myTable1.ajax.reload(myTable.initComplete()).

but i had limited javascript capability and i don't know if the callback had been stored&execute or just executed on declareation, If stored we can retrive it, Othervise we can't.

Thanks for your great job!!!

The callback is stored by DataTables internally, but it isn't accessible via the API. You would need to attach the function to the object yourself and then execute it.
