Link in Grid Column Header

[shimmorilParticipant]

First off, thank you for posting the full example and explanation. It made it much clearer what you’re trying to do. Secondly. given that I started this thread on March 22, and it’s only been 1 full business day since you released 2.8, I’m still using JQWidgets v2.7. If you could please keep that in mind in your responses it would be appreciated.

Looking at your example, both sorting and filtering is turned off for the entire grid. This is not what I need from this grid. While the columns that I’m trying to add links to should not be sortable/filterable, other columns need to have this functionality. If I turn filtering back on in the grid in your example, the link no longer works (even if the specific column has filterable: false).

This is actually related to an issue we’ve brought up before. If sorting and filtering is turned off for a column, the “…Sorting, Filtering and Columns Menu elements…” still appear for that column, even though all the options are greyed out. It would seem to make more sense if the menu elements didn’t appear at all if the functionality is disabled.

Additionally, working straight from your example and only changing the link text to a Font Awesome icon, it doesn’t work at all there either. The icon appears, but clicking it does nothing.

Hi shimmoril,

The provided solution works fine with jQWidgets 2.8. I cannot provide you with such for jQWidgets 2.7. That’s why we release new versions – to resolve limitations in old versions, to fix bugs and to add more capabilities. Your request can be achieved with jQWidgets 2.8 only. In addition, the sorting, filtering and any other built-in HTML element will not be displayed for that column when you use the latest version.

Will 2.8 also resolve the issue w/ the Font Awesome icon?

Also, what does this item mean (under the Breaking Changes section of your release notes):
– jqxSplitter works with two split panels.

Hello? Can someone please clarify what that item in the release notes means? We make extensive use of the splitters, and if they’re broken in the latest release there’s no possible way we can update.

Hi shimmoril,

It means that jqxSplitter works in a different way in jQWidgets 2.8 and can split only 2 panels. If you have used it with more panels, you will have to update your code and create nested splitters for the additional panels. If you wish not to use the latest Splitter, you may stay with the one that you already use and update only the other modules in your project(s).
