Following is the code found in data table website in order to remove the paging.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
"paging": false
} );
} );
My question is how to enable and disable paging on button click.
as when i call DataTable function second time to same table. It shows error that data table is already initiated and im calling it second time.
simply recreate the dataTable using destroy: true and paging:
I wanted to show only the first 10 rows of the table, but still be able to sort the whole table. But I also wanted the ability to click a link and show the whole table.
Here's what I did: (my table is "ka_ad")
First, turn on paging
table_ad = $('#ka_ad').DataTable({
paging: true,
});Second (optional: I didn't want to display the datatable pagination links and element, so I hid them with css
#ka_ad_length{display: none;}
#ka_ad_paginate{display: none;}
Lastly, toggle the bPaginate setting (I have a button with an ID of "test"):
$('#test').click( function () {
//console.log(mytable.settings()[0]['oFeatures']['bPaginate'] );
if(table_ad.settings()[0]['oFeatures']['bPaginate'] == false)
{
table_ad.settings()[0]['oFeatures']['bPaginate'] = true;
$('#test').html('Show All Rows');
}
else
{
table_ad.settings()[0]['oFeatures']['bPaginate'] = false;
$('#test').html('Show Fewer Rows');
}
table_ad.draw();
});Try like this.
var oTable;
$(document).ready(function() {
oTable = $('#example').DataTable( {
"paging": false
} );
$('.btn').click( function () {
oTable.paging= false;
oTable.fnDraw();
});
} );
try this:(but i don't guarantee, because, i haven't tested)
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
// get settings object after table is initialized
var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
oSettings.paging = false;
$(".button").click(function(){
oSettings.paging = !oSettings.paging;
});
destroy: trueandpaging: <new value>- despite the suggestions / answers below the lack of a working fiddle tells its own story.
