Hi Allan,

Do you have any plans for Bulk Actions?
See the visual design section here:
http://jqueryui.pbworks.com/GridTable

I would be glad to contribute for this, and I am sure many others. Please let me know what it would take to get this in Datatables, with custom bulk actions, like copy selected rows to empty rows, shuffle selected rows.

    Hi giorgio79,

    Can't this be achieved already? Something like this: http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/dom_toolbar.html - simply put buttons into the element, rather than the text I've got, and assign whatever action you want to each button. Highly customisable :-). Beyond that, TableTools 2 will allow easy to define buttons and actions (just need to get around to writing the documentation for it...).

    Hi Allan,

    Definitely yes. It just takes some custom programming and copy and paste is more convenient :D

    Would love to hear about Table Tools 2 :)

    Hey Allan,

    Been thinking about this, and a separate Bulk Plugin might have a viable use case.

    For example:
    1. Add automatically a checkbox column at the beginning
    2. Have some actions by default like copy, export only selected rows, drag and drop etc.

    Will show you an example soon, although I added the checkbox column via php there, so it is not the best solution. :)
