Adding Search String to URL

Hey Simon,

Unfortunately, this feature is not part of the plugin, however I will add this to the feature request list. In the meantime, if you are comfortable with editing js files, you can add the following code to the jtrt-responsive-tables-public.js file on line 125:

if(getParameterByName('jtrt_dt_search') != undefined){ jtrtDTcopy.search(getParameterByName('jtrt_dt_search')).draw();}

then you need to create a function called getParameterByName which was taken from of StackOverflow 😀

function getParameterByName(name, url) {
			if (!url) {
			url = window.location.href;
			}
			name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, "\\$&");
			var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),
				results = regex.exec(url);
			if (!results) return null;
			if (!results[2]) return '';
			return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, " "));
		}

I’ve created a simple gist with the changes, so if you want just copy paste the contents of the following gist into the jtrt-responsive-tables-public.js file and save changes.

now you can filter your table on load when you have the following url parameter:

http://mywebsite.com/jttablepage/?jtrt_dt_search=volvo

Hope this helps.

Thanks for using my plugin and offering suggestions 😀 I’m always looking for ways to improve. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
