SearchPanes: hide 'Show All/Collapse All' buttons

montoyam

I see there are new buttons. Can they be hidden when configuring the SearchPane?

Hi @montoyam ,

Yes, you can disable the collapsing of all of the panes using searchPanes.collapse and setting it to false. Take a look at this example.

Thanks,

Just a note to say that functionality is unreleased and still in the nightly releases here. We're aiming to release it today (or possibly tomorrow if the wind's against us...),

perfect. yes, I forgot to mention i was using the nightly because of the page navigation fix that was yet to be pushed out

oh, I have Search Panes on most of my many dataTables. Is there a way to make that the default setting so I don't need to add it in all my tables?

Hi @montoyam ,

Something like this is probably the closest that you will get without affecting every single initialisation.

$.fn.dataTable.SearchPanes.defaults.collapse = false;
$.fn.dataTable.SearchPane.defaults.collapse = false;

These two lines override the defaults on the two classes. You could put it in a script or a script tag anywhere after the SearchPanes code is included on the page. The other option would be to host the SearchPanes code yourself, and change the default in your own source file.

Thanks,

Also just a note to say that this has now been released in 1.4.0 and isn't subject to only the nightly builds.

Thanks,
Sandy
