Proper method for changing default edit event to single click?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

jquery-datatables-editable uses double click for editing. This makes it 
unusable on the current Ipad's Safari browser.

I can change the aoColumns:[ {event:'click'} ] for each column, but this makes 
row-selection tricky/not-possible.

1. Is there an option to change the jeditable event for all columns at once?
2. Is there a way to have the clicked element's row automatically selected.

Thanks,
Ahmet.

Hi,

Could you try to add the oEditableSettings paremeter in the dataTable:

oTable.dataTable().makeEditable({ oEditableSettings: { event: 'click' } });

If you use FireBug debuger you can trace in the latest version of plugin in the 
line 
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-datatables-editable/source/browse/trunk/media/js
/jquery.dataTables.editable.js#388 is it properly set.

However, this is tricky change. Click event is already used for selecting a row 
so I'm not sure how it should handle click in both cases.

Hi Jovan,

Your suggestion works. Thank you.

jEditable prevents the click event from propagation. Changing line388 to the 
following works:

editablesettings=$.extend({}, oDefaultEditableSettings, 
properties.oEditableSettings);
cells.editable(properties.sUpdateURL, $.extend({}, editablesettings, 
{event:'clickme'}));
cells.each(function(){$(this).on(editablesettings.event,function(){$(this).trigg
er('clickme'); });});

If you add this to your code, remember to also change line380 to:
$(this).editable(sUpdateURL, $.extend({}, oColumnSettings, {event:'clickme'}));
$(this).on(oColumnSettings.event,function(){$(this).trigger('clickme'); });

Ahmet.

Hi,

I'm not sure it this what you you have implemented but I have created example 
on 
http://jquery-datatables-editable.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/custom-edit-events.ht
ml It enables click and mouseover events for editing. It also enables row 
selection when cell is clicked. However, I have also added one blank column 
that is not editable which can be used for selection only.
