Swap sPaginationType after initialization?

tommck

I have a situation where I need to change the pagination plugin after the table is already initialized.
When I change the "sPaginationType" option and call fnDraw(), the plugin never gets initialized.

Is there a way to make the plugin get initialized after table init?

Generally speak no, I'm afraid not. What you can do is destroy the table and re-initialise it with the new pagination type, or you could potentially alter the DOM and attach new listeners with what you are looking for - although that sounds a bit messy to me. It might be possible to hack DataTables to construct the pagination and then to use that, but I'd not something I've tried before...

Well, it seems that it still calls the Update method, so I can just ensure that whatever was setup in the Init method was done in there and make it work that way.
