Datatables v2

[thomas-topway-it]

A complete refactoring of the datatables result format implementing a dedicated api and a SMW BeforeQueryResultLookupComplete hook in order to perform some preprocessing of the table data.

It includes the legacy datatables format with the format name datatables-legacy

Here is the complete documentation

https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Datatables_format_(v2)

Key features:

• cells content fully consistent with the standard SMW table format (including the use of Printouts format)
• can access all the rows of a query using Ajax when necessary
• supports navigation, filtering, and sorting against the complete data-set (using Ajax when necessary)
• supports sorting using multiple columns
• a wide range of native Datatables options are accessible through the askquery

regarding the conflicts please note that some files have been renamed, for instance formats/datatables/DataTables.php is now formats/datatables-legacy/DataTables.php

So this is a breaking change for users of the existing datatables format?

[thomas-topway-it]

@JeroenDeDauw no, absolutely, they can go with the same settings. It's possible they only have to purge the page

Needs rebase against master
