option to reset all filters by single button/function call

[Muhahe]

Hi again,

i just wana ask, if there is a option to reset all filters by one button (single function call), or is it missing?

[vedmack]

You can use the exFilterColumn function for that , read the docs about it and see the showcase example http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/multiple_tables.html , I will leave this issue open as I might add additional function for that reset all button (but since its already can be achieved with current yadcf API the priority is low...

p.s seen your solution about the previous issue (render) and it looks good! (will try it out whenever I'll get a chance)

Maybe this can help in future. I did not tested it much, but for first look it seems like working.

function doResetAllFilters(table_selector_jq_friendly){

            $.fn.dataTableExt.iApiIndex = oTablesIndex[table_selector_jq_friendly];
            var oTable = oTables[table_selector_jq_friendly];
            var columnsData = yadcf.getOptions(oTable.selector);
            var column_number;
            for(var i = 1; i < Object.keys(columnsData).length;i++){
                column_number = columnsData[i].column_number
                $("#yadcf-filter-" + table_selector_jq_friendly + "-" + column_number).val("-1").focus();
                $("#yadcf-filter-" + table_selector_jq_friendly + "-" + column_number).removeClass("inuse");
                $(document).data("#yadcf-filter-" + table_selector_jq_friendly + "-" + column_number + "_val", "-1");
                oTable.fnFilter("", column_number);
                resetIApiIndex();
                if (yadcf.getOptions(oTable.selector)[column_number].select_type === 'chosen') {
                    $("#yadcf-filter-" + table_selector_jq_friendly + "-" + column_number).trigger("chosen:updated");
                }
            }
            resetIApiIndex();
            return;
        }

and registration at the end of yadcf. WIthout it i was not able to call function.

doFilterMultiSelect : doFilterMultiSelect,

Thanks, but using the above code will trigger multiple filter calls (instead of one per all columns) and it works only for select filter type (maybe on more) and not for all the 9 types, the solution will look similar to the exFilterColumn function or even use it as part of the solution, but thanks and b.t.w your other proposal for the #76 looks promising :)
