Adding format and button elements to columns content when working ServerSide

kabeza

Hi
I've been able to make DataTables work with CodeIgniter (no libraries or plugins) and get data loaded into table by using Ajax. I've been also able to filter and order columns dynamically.

This is my debug:

Now I need to

• make first column content bold <strong>, some specific rows lightblue, etc.

• render some bootstrap buttons (icons) for view, modify, delete each of the records loaded. The view button should open also a bootstrap modal, and so...

• I have the pagination block disabled showing only page 1 and all buttons disabled... which could be the problem? (screenshot showing only 10 on purpose)

How should I handle these styling directives and where (serverSide?, ajax callback?) should I add the html code for buttons for the corresponding columns?

Please see attach. Thanks

I solved the above problems with

1. sending bold in the aadata array

2. same as 1.

3. by reading modernclix's answer in this thread
