Columnfilterwidget and row filtering together

    Hi Tobias,

    Thanks a lot for this awesome plugin. You really rock.

    I need your help in implementing one time table that i am working on.
    I have been trying to use the tablepress for creating a time table with three different time zones. I have added a hidden column( View All, EST, CET, AEDT) and it is populated in the dropdown that the columnwidgetfilter option provides.
    I have created rows with (1. All the time zones together and individual time zones as separate rows).

    I would like to initially display only the rows with all the timezones together and allow the end user to select the time zone based records, the functionality is similar to that of the search box.

    [table id=13 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_exclude_columns=1,2,3,4 filter=”View All” /]

    (What happens is that once i apply this filter, the filter is applied and i get the rows filtered bu then the dropdown is disabled. I think the drop down is based on the filtered rows. Is there a possibility to enable the dropdown so that the end user can select the other options and filter based on that.

    Please could you suggest a solution for this.

    Thanks,
    Aarthi

    Hi Tobias,

    I realized that the drop down works based on the visible data alone.

    So my question should be is it possible to have both the column and row filter happening form the database rather than the filtered data.

    Thanks in advance,
    Aarthi

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, this is not possible. Your best chance here probably is not simply not use the Row Filter Extension, but do everything on the client side, with the ColumnFilterWidgets.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Thank you for your support. I had tried all the possibilities and as you say it does not work. I will give it a try using the ColumnFilterWidgets on the client side.

    Thanks a lot.
