Expand icon disappears upon upgrade to 2.2.3

[TechRsch]

I'm not sure if this is a datatables-responsive issue or a jquery-datatables-rails issue. It's posted at datatables-responsive as well. There is a long thread there.

The tables are all working well except for this problem.

Basically, the expand icon worked using 2.2.1 but disappears under 2.2.3. I am using 2.2.3 to resolve Datatables issues, so I need to be there.

Looking at datatables-responsive 0.2.0, I noticed that there is some css that I can't find in 2.2.3 here. IDK if that is an issue. I tried including it but to no avail.

I'm reasonably confident in my configuration since it worked before, but something is wrong.

I tried Firefox 32.0.3 in safe mode as well as Chrome 37.0.2062.124 and IE 11.0.12. All worked before and none work now.

I'm using Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0.3.

I'd be happy to provide further information. Any advice would be appreciated. Really like your gem!

Thanks for your report, @TechRsch
I got the same issue, I will try to fix it until next friday.

[TechRsch]

That would be great! Thanks.

@ricardodovalle Hi! How are the plans for resolution? Thank you!

[ricardodovalle]

@TechRsch, I will try to fix it tomorrow afternoon, I tried it, without success, last week.
I have working on the gem on fridays only.

any luck on this one?

I found an inconsistency in the versions of dataTables.responsive.js that may be causing this problem. If you look at the working demo http://www.datatables.net/extensions/responsive/examples/initialisation/className.html it uses version 1.0.2, the one in the jquery-datatables repository is version 0.2.0. If I load version 1.0.2 in my app, the expand icon works as advertised.

Thanks @steveo7 - I naively tried copying and pasting the version 1.0.2 of the dataTables.responsive.js directly into the jquery-datatables-gem where the old one was and similarly for the css. Failed. I guess that is what @ricardodovalle is trying to do, except properly.

How did you do it? Script tag? and I guess you had to alter all your views for the simpler setup with 1.0.2 right?

As a temporary work around, I added the Datatables plugin manually until the gem is fixed. I downloaded DataTables-1.10.3 then copied dataTables.responsive.js jquery.dataTables.js to vendor/assets/javascripts then dataTables.responsive.css and jquery.dataTables.css to vendor/assets/stylesheets.

Hi @steveo7, thank you very much. 👍
Could you fork the gem and send a PR, please?

Thank you.

[ricardodovalle]

@steveo7 , maybe it is a not a good idea. I need to see the version numbers of each file.
I will think about it.

Thanks again

[ryan2johnson9]

@ricardodovalle, @steveo7 did not fix the gem - he used datatables without the gem and was graciously telling me how to do that.

[ricardodovalle]

@ryan2johnson9, thanks, I will try to update the plugins

[ricardodovalle]

@ryan2johnson9, @steveo7 . I updated jquery.dataTable and responsive extra plugin.
I updated my personal repository at first moment.
Could you give a try before I send a PR, please? (I will test on next friday)

#Gemfile
gem 'jquery-datatables-rails',  github: 'ricardodovalle/jquery-datatables-rails'

I understood the issue, there are a conflict, because I used a responsive plugin from another source, I said that on credits section at Readme.md, a long time ago (2 years ago) and, at now, the DataTable released a responsive plugin too and give it the same name.

I changed the plugin to the DataTable version, what it is very nice.
