Hide Column of Data #16

Closed donlaur closed 8 years ago

donlaur commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to hide a column of data? Lets say you want to have a code for a product in the data but you do not want it displayed? It is in your schema and JSON but not displayed on the columns?

eisenbraun commented 8 years ago

Yes, there is. If you add "hide": true on the column object inside your schema it will be available use, but will not display.

I apologize that this was not documented.

donlaur commented 8 years ago

I added the "hide":true and it did not hide the column on the display.

Can you send me a sample of your code?

Updating the Columns plugin fixed this issue. I had thought I had the newest version, but I guess not. Thanks.

Hi there, thank you btw for the columns! I wanted to know is there a way to invoke the sort outside of the headers? Like have the table in to page and a menu to the left for sorting? You could like "First Name" on the header (which works fine) then ALSO click a button to sort by First Name too..?

I am not the developer, so they might have other ideas, but sure.

You can use the button to call a function, or send in a variable via a GET in the URL. If you use something like PHP you can get the variable of sortby and then change in the columns setup. I have created buttons to do that. The buttons call a filter function. It is filter, but not sort, but pretty much similar.

Hey thanks for the reply... so you calling filter function the columns table uses? Or you made your own filter function? I just want to want to call something to sort a column... Like it does now when you click on it...
