Installing fnMultiFilter

saile92

Hi Guys,

New to datatables and i want to install fnMultiFilter (http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api/fnMultiFilter)

I am not sure how to install this as i installed datatables through wordpress and just want the ability to select multiple columns to filter.

At this stage, i downloaded the .js file from the page and uploaded to wp-content/plugins/tablepress/js But still doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

fnMultiFilter has been deprecated. See the docs:

so is this possible or not ?

Yes it is, if you are using the new Datatable API (with capital 'D')

var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table
 .column( 0 ).search( 'Gecko' )
 .column( 1 ).search( 'Cam' )
 .draw();

not sure how to check this?

We installed this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/

It works off datatables.

I am still not sure how to install this as all i have done so far is download the .js file and upload it into the /tablepress/js directory. This did not work however.
