Hi, I am trying to get these two to work together. I really need to be editing many fields within a table, and cannot impose the pain of leaving to another screen to the users to change some text fields and then coming back.
So, I have set up DataTables + jeditable (I also tried to do this with the WebGrid from Mr.Freeze but also with no luck). Anyway, the core of it all is just these two functions: def fill_up_table(): table = db(db.direccionesgrupo.id>0).select(limitby = (0,10)) f_table = TABLE(THEAD(TR([TH(val) for val in table[0]])), *[TR(*[TD(item, _id=key) for key,item in rows.iteritems()], _id=rows.id) for rows in table], _id="table_id",_class="display") return dict(message = f_table) def update_field(): if request.vars: pdb.set_trace() ############################## Breakpoint ############################## if request.vars['id'] == 'NotasDireccion': db.direccionesgrupo[request.vars['row_id']]=dict ( NotasDireccion = request.vars['value']) else: pass Along with this setup for the datatables + jeditable, that calls for update_field whenever there is an update to do: <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> var oTable; $(document).ready(function() { /* Apply the jEditable handlers to the table */ $('#table_id tbody td').editable( '/eibport/default/update_field', { "callback": function( sValue, y ) { var aPos = oTable.fnGetPosition( this ); oTable.fnUpdate( sValue, aPos[0], aPos[1] ); }, "submitdata": function ( value, settings ) { return { "row_id": this.parentNode.getAttribute('id') }; }, "height": "14px" } ); /* Init DataTables */ oTable = $('#table_id').dataTable(); } ); </script> Everything seems to be working ok, except for 2 things: 1.- Table loading takes too long: This started happening when I inserted the inner itteration of rows.iteritems() to be able to insert the TD id to know the column I am editing. (Before that, having it like this: TABLE(*[TR(*rows) for rows in table]) it went pretty fast. So even though to me it looks ok, there must be something I am missing that I am screwing up. 2.- All the data gets sent correctly to the update function, but I dont get data to be updated. (And this must be clearly a most basic concept of web programming that I am completelly missing). Anyway, any other alternative to being able to edit several fields in a table straight in the table, will be wellcome. I'll post a slice as soon as i have it working one way or another.
