Hi Cornelius,
thanks for your question.
I checked your site, but could not find any real errors that could case the problem.
I have one assumption though:
Your page seems to include the jQuery library from an external source (Google). Now it seems that Google is delivering the latest version 1.4 (just came out today). The DataTables script was developed with 1.3.2 though.
Could you test the whole thing with the original jQuery library from WordPress. I assume you are using a plugin to have jQuery loaded from Google, so I recommend deactivating that for a test.
Regards,
Tobias
Hello Tobias,
I am afraid that doesn’t solve the problem.
When installing your plugin I had the original WordPress jQuery activated. I integrated the latest version from Google to check if an out of date jQuery was the problem.
I disabled all plugins except wp-table reloaded, but it still doesn’t work.
Bye,
Cornelius.
Hi Cornelius,
thanks for testing that.
This behavior is really odd.
The DataTable command is executed by the browser (as the language file is loaded), but the controls are not added.
Can you try the whole thing with a different table (just a small one, freshly created with some test data)?
(I have seen very rare cases were the data in the table caused problems, due to character encoding issues.)
If this doesn’t help either, you might need to ask in the DataTables Support Forums (http://www.datatables.net/), as this seems to be an issue with the script.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
I created a new table and it didn’t work either. Also switched the theme to rule out problems with that.
I will try to get support from the DataTables guys now, maybe they have a clue what is causing the problem.
Thanks for your time,
Cornelius.
I got exactly the same problem. No pagination or sorting opportunity.
It is the only plug-in I’m using so no conflict there. I also tried to comment out all other scripts to see if that was the source of the problem, but no.
I’m testing on a localserver. Do anybody now if that could be the problem.
Hi mlynge,
without seeing the actual page, there is no real chance of seeing what is the problem and of helping you.
Can you somehow move your site to a server on the internet?
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias
I figured that I would upload the site to see if there was some conflict testing your plug-in on a localhost. It is now working as it should. Great!
It still puzzles me why I couldn’t get it to work on my localhost. If I figure out why I will off cause post it here to help out other with a similar problem if one exist.
Thank you very much for your rapid reply.
Best wishes,
Mlynge
I also appear to be having issues with the controls not showing. Any ideas: http://mypocketos.com/price-checker/
thanks.
Hi,
it looks like your theme’s footer.php file does not contain a call to wp_footer();.
Can you check that?
Best wishes,
Tobias
hmm doesn’t appear to, do I need to add it?
Added, and now appears to be working.. no idea what it does.. but thanks for your help.
Hi,
good, nice to hear that 🙂
That line basically provides WordPress (and with that my plugin) to print the necessary JavaScript commands to the page, that will enable the controls and the connected features.
Best wishes,
Tobias
