Hello everybody, I have two tables and I am working with Datatables and what I would like to do is use the child row to show more information about a particular row. For example, on the table I will display first name, last name, username, and email and on the child or expandable row, I will show the nationality of that user. The problem I am having is that when I expand the row, it shows only the id from the 'User' table and not the description associated to that id. this is my first time dealing with Datatables so I don't have my experience with it.
Any suggestions to solve this issue? Thanks :) DB db.define_table('User', Field('first_name', 'string'), Field('last_name', 'string'), Field('email','string'), Field('username','string'), Field('nationality','reference Nationality', requires = IS_IN_DB(db,db.Nationality.id,'%(description)s') ) db.define_table('Nationality', Field('description','string'), format = '%(descripcion)s' ) My controler def user(): import json usuario = json.dumps(db(db.auth_user.id>0).select().as_list()) return dict(formListar=XML(usuario)) My view <script> var tabla; $(document).ready(function(){ tabla= $('#tablaGenerica').DataTable({ "data": {{=formListar}}, "scrollX": false, "dom": 'lrtip', "searching": true, "sRowSelect": "single", "columns": [ { "class":"details-control", "orderable":false, "data":null, "defaultContent": "" }, { data: 'first_name' }, { data: 'last_name' }, { data: 'email' }, { data: 'username' }, ] }); $('#tablaGenerica tbody').on('click', 'td.details-control', function () { var tr = $(this).closest('tr'); var row = tabla.row( tr ); if ( row.child.isShown() ) { // This row is already open - close it row.child.hide(); tr.removeClass('shown'); } else { // Open this row row.child( format(row.data()) ).show(); tr.addClass('shown'); } } ); function format ( d ) { // `d` is the original data object for the row return '<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="padding-left:50px;">'+ '<tr>'+ '<td>Nationality:</td>'+ '<td>'+d.nationality+'</td>'+ '</tr>'+ '</table>'; } </script> <table id="tablaGenerica" class="tablaC table-striped hover cell-border" cellspacing="0" width="100%" > <thead> <tr> <th></th> <th>First name</th> <th>Last name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Username</th> </tr> </thead> </table> -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
