Tablesorter unable to filter externally on some columns.

[Manoj999]

try {

    $table = $('#Tblgridinner').tablesorter({
        theme: 'blue',
        page: 0,
        size: 30,
        widgets: ["filter", "pager"],
        widgetOptions: {
            filter_external: '#Txtgridsearchresults',
            filter_liveSearch: false,
               }

    }).tablesorterPager({
        container: $(".pager"),
        output: '{startRow} - {endRow} / {filteredRows} ({totalRows})',
        page: 0,
        size: 10
    });

   }

This is my code.

I have one column with data is like this :1:20:30, this column I am unable to filter from external search input.

Please help me.

Hi @Manoj999!

Would you modify this demo to include more data. I don't think that data would be detected as time, so the parser should be set to text - which should work.

Hi @Mottie ,

Thanks for all of your work, very appreciated.

I am experiencing the same/similar issue that Manoj is, and it is even happening in your external search demo page https://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-filter-external-inputs.html. Try changing the select box to first or last name, then typing in something.

If I try to filter on a single column instead of 'all', then it throws errors at jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1419
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'eq' of undefinedts.filter.matchType @ jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1419ts.filter.processRow @ jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1504ts.filter.findRows @ jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1759ts.filter.checkFilters @ jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1256(anonymous function) @ jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js:1195

Hi @jwrichard!

Thanks for that extra bit of info, it helped me find the bug! I will have it fixed here shortly. @Manoj999, please let me know if this fixes your issue.

The fix will be available in the master branch in the widget-filter.js source file and widget-filter.min.js dist file for now. I don't have a plan on when the next release will be available.

Hi @jwrichard and @Mottie,

Hi @jwrichard and @Mottie,

Hope you are doing well.

1. I have that issue previous later I added the property
   filter_columnAnymatch: false so now I am able to search on all columns from external filter.

2. On column filtering also I have one issue, I had solved it but I would
   like to share with you. issue is,

   Data on column looks like: On Route To Final Destination,Arrived to
   offload Destination e.t.c..

   In the column filter textbox If I type On route to it is filtering
   correctly and If I paste complete text(i.e., On Route To Final Destination)
   or
   more than On Route to F unable to filter,I thought that it is not
   considering spaces correctly.

To solve above issue I used filter_functions option in the following way.

$table = $('#Tblgridinner').tablesorter({
        theme: 'blue',
        page: 0,
        size: 30,
        widgets: ["filter", "pager"],
        widgetOptions: {
            filter_external: '#Txtgridsearchresults',
            filter_liveSearch: false,
            filter_columnAnyMatch: false,
            filter_functions: {
                6: function (e, n, f, i, $r, c, data) {
                    e = e.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "");
                    f = f.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "");
                    if (e.indexOf(f) >= 0)
                    { return true; }
                    else { return false; }
                },
                7: function (e, n, f, i, $r, c, data) {
                    e = e.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "");
                    f = f.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "");
                    if (e.indexOf(f) >= 0)
                    { return true; }
                    else { return false; }
                }
            }
        }
    }).tablesorterPager({
        container: $(".pager"),
        output: '{startRow} - {endRow} / {filteredRows} ({totalRows})',
        page: 0,
        size: 10
    });

So @Manoj999, has this issue been resolved? Can I close it?

[Mottie]
