Rational for this is that the number renderer expects a number
input, not HTML, but if non-numeric input is given the value is just
returned (now escaped) - for example an empty string.
- I just updated my PHP and HTML Tidy was not installed which resulted
in the examples in the dist repo all being rewritten unfortunately.
This should stop that happening again.
- If d or objectRead were truthful then the row's data object would be
replaced with an empty object. This was one shortcut in code too many!
- Relates to thread 29530 with thanks to idleog.
- Bootstrap is proving to be a far more popular theme for DataTables -
this example comes from back in the day when jQuery UI theming was
first added, so it is no longer required.
- Have used :after for the information about what type of link it is -
this stops it from being included in a copy / paste which was annoying
- The postfix is a bit more informative than a letter about what
software it relates to
- With the move to the 1.10 API for all of the extensions, showing the
extension letter was redundent anyway
- Adding -button link type
- Improved the colours
DataTables which character is used as a decimal place in the table's
data, so that number which are formatted using characters other than a
dot as the decimal place can be correctly detected and sorted.
- A large part of the world uses the comma as a decimal place, so it
makes sense to have this option built-in directly to DataTables,
rather than needing to use plu-in sorting types as before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
- However, the decimal place character cannot be detected automatically
since there are far to many ambiguities. As such, a new
`language.decimal` option is defined which is passed through to the
type detection functions. The type detection functions can then use
that character to alter their detection functions to transform numbers
into the dot formatted equivilent for parsing in Javascript.
- The numeric sorting methods have been bundled together in the function
`_addNumericSort` which is called when a character is given for the
decimal mark, adding the sorting functions required specifically for
that mark. This means that any character at all can be added, while
keeping the table's sort performance as it was.
- Code size in increased a little for this new feature, but a lot of
work has been done to keep it to a minimum (while still optimising for
the most common use case of a dot decimal place), and this is a good
feature to have in DataTables' core code.
- All required documentation added and updated.
- Special thanks to Tobias Bäthge for suggesting and sponsoring this
feature.
- Added new orthogonal data example
- Updated columns.data and columns.render documentation
- Reordering the manual a little
- Add note to the old orthogonal data blog post to direct people to the
new manual page
- The jQueryUI option is depricated in 1.10 and will be removed in 1.11
to be replaced by style integration files int he same way that
Bootstrap and Foundation use. This helps to reduce the size of the
core for a feature that is no longer used that often, while also
ensureing that DataTables remains modular and supports many styling
libraries.
- As a result of this change, I want developers to be able to implement
1.10 without needing to use a depricated option, so this highlights
the newly added jQuery styling integration files from the plug-ins
repo.
- Updating the build process to introduce the example builder to convert
the XML example files into HTML files. This process is performed for a
number of reasons:
- Much more maintainable - links automatically updated
- Add / remove examples easier
- Modify page styling easier
- Examples can be directly integrated into web-site since they are
transformed by template
- Common data sharing
- Note that the work on the new example build process is not complete in
this commit, there are still a few things to do! css, media paths and
completing the templates.
New: Static API method - fnIsDataTable - check if a TABLE node is a DataTable or not
New: Static API method - fnTables - get the DataTables that are initialised on the table (optionally limit to just the visible tables)
Examples update - Tabs and scrolling updated to use the new static fnTables method
Fix: Settings object model was missing the nScrollHead and nScrollFoot properties from the documentation
