Problem
I want to hide a row if a value appears in any of its child cells.
Desired Effect
- Apply class to row, if one of its child cells contains a specific value
- Bonus Challenge: Hide column containing the value, i.e. "admin-hide"
Example Code
$('tr').each(function(){
if($('td:contains("non-member")', this).length{
$(this).addClass('disabled');
}
});
Why?
Invaluable for tables containing information that needs to be:
- toggled on/off without losing the back-end data, i.e. member roster, with lapsed member rows having display: none;
- highlighting particular rows, i.e. premium sponsors
Difficulties I've Faced
Hiding the column is problematic. If necessary, I can stick to just have hiding rows with child elements containing a string.
Tech I've Working w/
- Wordpress 3.5.1
- Jquery 1.10.1
- Tablepress Pluging (which uses DataTables plugin for Jquery)
Attempt #1
This is what I have in the page editor in WordPress:
[table id=3 /]
<script>jQuery(function($) {
$('#tableID tr').filter(function() {
$('td', this).each(function() {
if ($(this).text().indexOf('admin-hide') != -1)
$('#tableID tr td:eq('+ $(this).index() +')').hide();
});
return $(this).text().indexOf('non-member') != -1;
}).addClass('disabled');
});</script>
<style>
.disabled {display: none;}
</style>
Attempt #2 - @adeneo
This hides the row but breaks Datatables/Tablepress:
<script> jQuery(function($) {
$('#tablepress-3 tr:contains("admin-hide")').addClass('disable-cells')
var index = $('td:contains("admin-hide")').index();
$('th,td', '#tablepress-3').filter('nth-child('+(index+1)+')').addClass('disable-cells'); });
</script>
<style>
.disable-cells {display: none;}
</style>
Attempt #3 - @SpenserJ
This hides the row, allows for Datatables. However, it doesn't hide the column.
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$('#tablepress-3 td').each(function() {
if ($(this).text().indexOf('admin-hide') !== -1) {
// Hide the column without affecting the table formatting
$(this).css('visibility', 'hidden');
}
});
// Hide the entire row
$('#tablepress-3 tr:contains("admin-hide")').hide();
});
</script>
