Installation

To add this plugin simply link to the extension from your LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/DataTables/DataTables.php" );

Or something similar.

Usage

1. Add the following attributes to the table

data-type-filter="{{{1}}}" data-category-filter="{{{2}}}" data-search-filter="{{{3}}}"

2. Create two 1 column tables:

• class='dt_categories'
• class='dt_types'

Which contain a list of categories and types, respectively

3. Remove the class sortable from your table and replace with datatable

The PHP

The PHP is rather straight forward, just basic attribution and loading the necessary JS.

The CSS

The style was mostly untouched, the custom CSS is used mostly to structure the filter widget.

The JS

See the comments.

The basic logic is:

1. On DOM ready, check if there are any .datatables, and don't do anything if not
2. Get a list of categories and types from user-defined 1 column tables
3. Remove said tables
4. Enable datatables all on tables with class datatable
5. Add the filter widget before the table, bind any changes to trigger the filter functions
6. Change all the filter widget options based on the data-attributes configuration, this will trigger the table to update
