Basic code not working?!

[vlatro]

I'm trying for hours to run the code for KingTable.

I think there must be a problem with the code, as I even don't see anything working when I try to use your example file(s):

This is my pad (not accessible for you) http://intranetbe:85/cis/js/jQuery-KingTable-master/source/

And this is what I get (empty screen) :-(

Please help ?!

Hi @vlatro, are you running a development server using Python Flask, like described here in the Readme file?

A development server is required, and I needed one for development, since some features require server side pagination, sorting and filtering (since filtering and sorting affect pagination). I chose Python Flask because it's a lightweight and convenient web framework. If you want, I can help setting up the development environment with Python Flask.

If instead you desire example files that do not require a running web server, please download those from the demo, here. This demo works using only static files and does pagination and filtering on the client side: they are fixed tables. I described what I mean by "fixed table" here in the wiki.

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for the answer!

I don't have a development server using Python Flask, so I want to try tu use the 'static' version.

I just copied some of the code from the demo, but it's still not working. Please find my file attached. test.zip

I hope I'm not asking stupid questions. I'm pretty new with jQuery.

Thanks Gert

Hi Gert, Don't worry, you're not asking stupid questions. This aspect of my repository was not enough documented. I just added better documentation on how to run the development server included in the repository.

I am observing the file you sent me, and it couldn't work because it expects a list of objects (in a global variable called COLORS, which you are not loading, because you don't have the

I thought the error would be resolved when I used this location:

But if I do that, i get another (worse) error.

Hi Gert, No problem, you asked kindly and that's why I help :)

So, when you have a problem fetching fonts, you should take a look at CSS: fonts are usually fetched due to some CSS "font-face" rule and JavaScript is not involved. I can see from the browser log that it's looking for open-iconic fonts in this place: ~/styles/openicon/fonts/open-iconic.woff Where ~ represents the root of your web application (the same folder where you should have your main Web.config file), and it's not finding them. Maybe you've got a different folder structure, like: ~/js/jQuery-KingTable-master/source/styles/openicon/fonts/open-iconic.woff I am guessing.

So, the solution is either to recreate the folder structure expected by the CSS rules (i.e. create ~/styles/openicon/fonts/open-iconic.woff), or modify the CSS rules to follow your desired folder structure.

In the second case, you could edit the CSS I wrote, for example replacing inside the KingTable css file:

@font-face {
  font-family:Icons; 
  src:url(/styles/openicon/fonts/open-iconic.eot); 
  src:url(/styles/openicon/fonts/open-iconic.eot?#iconic-sm)

With:

@font-face {
  font-family:Icons; 
  src:url(/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.eot); 
  src:url(/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.eot?#iconic-sm)

[Edit] Or, override these CSS rules, creating another .css file that you load after the KingTable css, containing a fragment like this one:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Icons';
  src: url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.eot');
  src: url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.eot?#iconic-sm') format('embedded-opentype'), url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.woff') format('woff'), url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.ttf') format('truetype'), url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.otf') format('opentype'), url('/your/desired/path_to_fonts/open-iconic.svg#iconic-sm') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

If you want to work comfortably with the source code (I mean, editing LESS code) you should: install NodeJs and Grunt in a development machine (one where you can install software freely), edit my LESS source code and use the provided gruntfile to generate CSS from LESS source code.
