filter_startsWith and AJAX

[MrTobyDog]

Is there any way to provide this functionality if using pager and retrieving info with AJAX?
Basically I would like to be able to modify my MySQL search to be one of:
LIKE 'text%'
LIKE '%text'
LIKE '$text%'
depending on a flag the user sets. Of course I can ask the user to type in the search text like that, but is is not very intuitive!

Try something like this (demo):

$(function () {
    var endsWith = false;

    $("table")
    .tablesorter({
        theme: 'blue',
        widgets: ['filter'],
        widgetOptions: {
            filter_startsWith: false,
            filter_hideEmpty: false
        }
    })
    .tablesorterPager({
        // leave off {filterList:fcol} from ajaxUrl
        ajaxUrl: "data?page={page}&size={size}&{sortList:col}",
        ajaxProcessing: function (ajax) {
            // do something with the ajax
            return ['', 0];
        },
        // modify the url after all processing has been applied
        customAjaxUrl: function (table, url) {
            var c = table.config,
            wo = c.widgetOptions,
            sql = {filter:[]},
            filters = $(table).data('lastSearch') || [];
            $.each(filters, function (i, v) {
                v = v || '';
                sql.filter[i] = wo.filter_startsWith ? v + '%' :
                endsWith ? '%' + v :
                v;
            });
            // send the server the current page
            return url + '&' + $.param(sql);
        }
    });

    /* DEMO STUFF */
    $('input[type=radio]').on('change', function(){
        var c = $('table')[0].config;
        c.widgetOptions.filter_startsWith = $('.startsWith').prop('checked');
        endsWith = $('.endsWith').prop('checked');

        // remove the next line if you don't want the radio
        // button to automatically update the ajax url
        c.pager.last.page = c.pager.page + 1;

        c.$table.trigger('update');
    });

});

Basically this is how it is done:

• Leave off the {filterList:fcol} from the ajaxUrl option.
• Add a customAjaxUrl option to modify the filters as desired. In the demo I added a set of radio buttons to allow the user to choose.
• In the demo code at the bottom, you can have the filters automatically update when the user changes the radio button by modifying one of the saved variables to force a new update. I used c.pager.last.page above. Trigger an "update" on the table to force a new search.

Great - looks just what I need.....
