Hi,

I need to be able to filter my table using more than one column, is this possible?

For example I might want to filter by Country in one column then apply a further filter of Male or Female for the second column, then by Age Range for the third, so that ultimately I end up with a list that just meets that criteria. I need to be able to do this on the front end (or at least my users do).

Is there a way of achieving this with Ari Data Tables? I also have smart content.

Kind regards

Hello,

"ARI Data Tables" supports ability to use request variables in "WHERE" clause of "SELECT" SQL query so it is possible to create a HTML form with search parameter outside the module and send search parameter to the module. Request variables are used in the following way:

{$REQUEST:VAR_NAME}

Where VAR_NAME is a name of request variable.

Hi,
thank you for responding. I am not sure where to start with that. This is basically all I am after:

jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/default.html

and a similar question was asked in this thread with an answer that might suit me, however i am not sure how I go about adding a basic call as the admin mentioned in that thread. www.ari-soft.com/ARI-Data-Tables/18943-DataTables-individual-column-filtering/Page-2.html
Is there a step by step guide anywhere which will show me how make my aridata table work like that? It would be perfect

It requires custom modification of the extension and it will not work if "Server side pagination" is used.

I am sorry, I don't quite understand. Does this mean that ari data tables can't do this kind of filter? It is a shame as it is otherwise perfect.

If you want to add addon for DataTable jQuery plugin, it requires to modify "ARI Data Tables" code and it will not work if "Server side pagination" parameter is set to "Yes" in module settings.
