Custom actions

Maikel

Hey, the editor has some default actions (new, edit, delete) but i would like to add some new actions here for my project (start, stop)

Is there a way to do this?

These new actions basically just update one field to a certain value.

Not sure what the "certain value" is you want and where you are placing the start and stop buttons. In my case I wanted to do something similar where I have start/stop or on/off buttons in each row. These are checkboxes with added code to make them look like a toggle.

My pages use Bootstrap so I use BootstrapToggle for this functionality. I believe there is at least one other Bootstrap toggle type extension available. If you are using Bootstrap you can look at this post for information on integrating BootstrapToggle with Datatables:

Hope this is what you are looking for.

You can create all sorts of buttons for an editor. You just need to define it, and include a function to be called when it's clicked.
See: https://editor.datatables.net/reference/type/button-options

It's then a matter of making the function do what you need to do. You can tweak the data, call editor api methods like submit() etc.

Have a look at this example which does what you are looking for.

Is there a way to change the "action"-Value of the post data? I can't find anything.

Yes, use the preSubmit parameter, or ajax.data to modify the data that is being sent to the server.
