I have one Date column, formatted '17/03/2012'.
I would like to be able select a start and end date and if the 1 date column above is within this date range it will filter the column.
Below is the code im using:
Start Date: <input type="text" id="dateStart" name="dateStart" size="30">
End Date: <input type="text" id="dateend" name="dateend" size="30">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(
function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) {
var iFini = document.getElementById('dateStart').value;
var iFfin = document.getElementById('dateend').value;
var iStartDateCol = 2;
var iEndDateCol = 2;
iFini=iFini.substring(0,2) + iFini.substring(3,5)+ iFini.substring(6,10)
iFfin=iFfin.substring(0,2) + iFfin.substring(3,5)+ iFfin.substring(6,10)
var datofini=aData[iStartDateCol].substring(0,2) + aData[iStartDateCol].substring(3,5)+ aData[iStartDateCol].substring(6,10);
var datoffin=aData[iEndDateCol].substring(0,2) + aData[iEndDateCol].substring(3,5)+ aData[iEndDateCol].substring(6,10);
if ( iFini == "" && iFfin == "" )
{
return true;
}
else if ( iFini <= datofini && iFfin == "")
{
return true;
}
else if ( iFfin >= datoffin && iFini == "")
{
return true;
}
else if (iFini <= datofini && iFfin >= datoffin)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
);
$(function() {
// Implements the dataTables plugin on the HTML table
var $oTable= $("#example").dataTable( {
"sDom": '<"top"><"clear">t<"bottom"i><"clear">',
"iDisplayLength": 20,
"oLanguage": {
"sLengthMenu": 'Show <select><option value="25">25</option><option value="50">50</option><option value="100">100</option><option value="200">200</option></select>'
},
"bJQueryUI": true,
//"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aoColumns": [
null,
null,
{ "sType": "date" }
]
});
$('#dateStart, #dateend').daterangepicker(
{
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
arrows: true
}
);
/* Add event listeners to the two range filtering inputs */
$('#dateStart').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
$('#dateend').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
/* Add event listeners to the two range filtering inputs */
$('#dateStart').change( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
$('#dateend').change( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
/* Add event listeners to the two range filtering inputs */
$('#name').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
$('#name').change( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
});
</script>
Any help advice on this would bve extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.
I think the example that's shown in the filter API page will do the trick:
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
/* Add event listeners to the two range filtering inputs */
$('#min').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
$('#max').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
} );
What the range filtering extension you've included up above is looking for is a set of input boxes (probably datepicker style textboxes would work best). You should give them the ID's, by what I see in your code, dateStart
and dateend
. Then you can bind function() { oTable.fnDraw(); }
to some event on either of those boxes ( like in the code above, they're bound to the keyup
event) or it could be a filter button or whatever.
But now, each time that the table is drawn (using fnDraw()
) it will take into account those dates and filter your zero-based iStartDateCol
and iEndDateCol
columns based on that range.
UPDATE: a more direct answer - just include the following in your document.ready function:
$('#dateStart').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
$('#dateend').keyup( function() { oTable.fnDraw(); } );
