I'm using datatables and the yadcf plugin which is working well. However I'm trying to add a custom filter and having no luck getting it to work. It appears it is being ignored.
Basically I want to filter whether a cell is empty or has data
I used this example as a starting point: http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/DOM_source.html
My custom function is:
function filterGroupName(filterVal, columnVal) {
var found;
if (columnVal === '') {
return true;
}
switch (filterVal) {
case 'Groups':
found = columnVal.length > 0;
break;
case 'No Groups':
found = columnVal.length < 1 || columnVal === '';
break;
default:
found = 1;
break;
}
if (found !== -1) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
And here is the part of the script that sets up yadcf:
{
column_number: 3,
filter_container_id: "filter-group-name",
filter_type: "custom_func",
data: [{
value: 'Groups',
label: 'Groups'
}, {
value: 'No Groups',
label: 'No Groups'
}],
filter_default_label: "Select Groups",
custom_func: filterGroupName
}
I've set a breakpoint in the script to see what's happening but it never gets triggered
The page gets the correct select boxes created but selecting either option returns no entries - everything is being filtered out in the datatable.
So, what have I missed in getting the function to work?
Thank you
I'm managed to work out the problem.
During development I modified the data property of yadcf for the column to that above. However I had state save set on datatables so the original filter was being used - ignoring any changes I made to the strucuture of the new filters and the resulting code.
I removed state save and the filter came to life!
