Server side column filtering

Server side column filtering

AHitchinsAHitchins Posts: 6Questions: 4Answers: 0

Hi everyone,

I would like to implement the column search feature as described here : http://www.datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html however I need it to filter server side as the dataset will be large.

Is it possible to achieve this server side? I believe it's possible to perform paging server side to am hoping this is possible too.

All help welcomed!

    I use individual column searching with server-side processing. What's stopping you?

    Can you explain how this was achieved? A pointer to an example would be great. I just can't seem to crack this. I'm sure it will be straightforward once I know.

    I think tangerine's point is that the code from that example should work just fine with server-side processing (assuming the server-side script correctly implements column filtering).

    If it isn't working for you, please link to a test case shown the problem so we can debug it.

    OK, thanks Allan. I'll re-read that example and reply with a fiddle link if I still can't get it to work correctly.
