New callback after fnRender

danut007ro

Hello!

I need to add new lines to a table, but I need to add buttons and handlers for them. I saw that I can do this using fnRowCallback.
Wouldn't it be nicer if there would be another callback after fnRender that also passes the created TD element so I can manipulate it as I want?
I would like to have a cell that can have an input text as mDataProp and a button to remove that specific line from the table.

Any help or other ideas please?
Thanks

Well, I solved the problem, now maybe Allan will look into it and add it as a feature.

I added something like this code in a few places (3 actually, where fnRender was called) :
[code]
if ( typeof oCol.fnRenderAfter === 'function' )
{
oCol.fnRenderAfter(
{
"iDataRow": iRow,
"iDataColumn": iColumn,
"aData": oData._aData,
"oSettings": oSettings,
"mDataProp": oCol.mDataProp,
"nTd": nCell
}, _fnGetCellData(oSettings, iRow, iColumn, 'display')
);
}
[/code]

I will try to contact him if he's interested to see my code.
Thanks Allan, nice piece of work

Hi,

Thanks very much for the post! I've actually beaten you to this new feature (although not by much!) ;-).

DataTables 1.9 (currently in beta) introduces two new callbacks - fnCreatedCell and fnCreatedRow. These are called when a cell / row is created, which is very useful for exactly the kind of reasons that I'm sure you are well aware of having done this yourself!
