Remove filter from certain columns #773

Closed MatanDavidi closed 4 years ago

MatanDavidi commented 4 years ago

Enhancement/feature description It would be really useful if there was a way to specify the indices of the columns for which you do not want the user to be able to filter.

Steps which explain the enhancement/feature

  1. Create a generic object containing the TableFilter object's configuration.
  2. Set a property such as "excluded_cols" to have as a a value an array containing the indices of the columns for which you do not want your users to filter (excluded_cols: [0, 1, 10]).
  3. Pass the generic object as parameter when instantiating the TableFilter object.

Current and suggested behavior As of right now there is no way, to my knowledge, to do such a thing. What this feature would do is show the column without the filterable header. See enclosed image.

Why would the enhancement be useful to most users That would allow a developer to add columns containing notes, information, links, buttons, ... Without having to add them after the table has been initialized.

Describe alternatives you've considered One solution I have considered is adding the column after the "init" function has been called using jQuery and manipulating the DOM.

Hi @MatanDavidi tx for taking time to submit such a detailed issue, I appreciate! So I think you are looking at this option col_x: 'none', you can see it in this example: http://www.tablefilter.com/filter-types.html
