I'm trying to use a select with inline editing. I have gotten this to display properly using the popup for editing, but I want it all to be inline and submit on blur. My data includes both an ID and a name for each dropdown item, which I have in an object that looks like { label: "blah", value: "blah" } etc.
However, in the DataTable the dropdowns are all being displayed with the ID instead of the label as the default value. I don't want users to see the id. I tried setting the editor field name to be the label and the DataTable column to be the value, which seemed to work for the popup but for inline editing I get the error "Uncaught Unable to automatically determine field from source. Please specify the field name".
My initializations look like this:
editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
ajax: 'url',
table: '#table',
idSrc: 'id',
fields: [{
label: "Location",
name: "location_name", //this is where the problem is, I think
type: "select",
ipOpts: locationList
}]})
$('#table').dataTable({
dom: "Tfrtip",
"searching": false,
"ajax": {
"url": "url",
"type": "GET"
},
"columnDefs": [
{ "visible": false, "targets": [8] }
],
"columns": [
{ "data": "location_id" }
])}
If I change the DataTable to use the name, the display is correct, but I get the name submitted to the database instead of the ID, and I need the ID.
What should I do?
I did it like this, it's messy but works:
Each editable object has it's own span class. An ID that relates to the parent object. A key that relates to the object that is being updated. And then of course the data.
<td><span class="dcmeta" data-value="'.$row['DATACENTER'].'" data-type="select" id="'.$row['CLUSTERNAME'].'" key="DATACENTER">'.$row['DATACENTER'].'</span></td>
<td><span class="tiermeta" data-value="'.$row['TIER'].'" data-type="select" id="'.$row['CLUSTERNAME'].'" key="TIER">'.$row['TIER'].'</span></td>
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$.fn.editable.defaults.mode = 'popup';
$('.xedit').editable();
$('.tiermeta').editable({
title: 'Test title',
source: [
{value: 'Tier 1', text: 'Tier 1'},
{value: 'Tier 2', text: 'Tier 2'},
]
});
$('.dcmeta').editable({
title: 'Test title',
source: [
{value: 'DC1', text: 'DC1'},
{value: 'DC2', text: 'DC2'},
]
});
$(document).on('click','.editable-submit',function(){
var key = $(this).closest('.editable-container').prev().attr('key');
var x = $(this).closest('.editable-container').prev().attr('id');
var y = $('.input-metadata').val();
var z = $(this).closest('.editable-container').prev().text(y);
$.ajax({
url: "process.php?id="+x+"&data="+y+"&key="+key,
type: 'GET',
success: function(s){
if(s == 'status'){
$(z).html(y);}
if(s == 'error') {
alert('Error Processing your Request! ');}
},
error: function(e){
alert('Error Processing your Request!! ');
}
});
});
});
</script>
PHP:
<?php
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo );
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
if($_GET['id'] and $_GET['data'] and $_GET['key'])
{
$id = $_GET['id'];
$data = $_GET['data'];
$key = $_GET['key'];
$sql = "update CLUSTER set $key='$data' where CLUSTERNAME='$id'";
echo 'success';
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql );
if( $stmt === false) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true) );
}
}
?>
