My Ajax request
to update the tables is not working. Attached is the screenshot. It simply displays "processing" but nothing happens. The JSON object
that is returned (if i visit the URL -{% url 'search_list_json' %}
--used in AjaxSource of Js code below) seems to be correct. but still the mainpage is not displaying the JSON content in table.
Here it is:
{"result": "ok",
"iTotalRecords": 1, "aaData": [["<center><a href=\"/search/1\"><font color=\"red\">Mazda=>626:2012-1986</font></a>\n </center>", "04/07/2014", "10000", "1000", "<center><a href='/search/update/1/'><img src='/static/images/icons/icon_changelink.gif'></a> <a href='/search/delete/1/'><img src='/static/images/icons/icon_deletelink.gif'></a></center>"]],
"sEcho": 0,
"iTotalDisplayRecords": 1}
My views.py
class SearchListJson(BaseDatatableView):
model = Search
columns=['title','created','max_price', 'min_price','actions']
order_columns = ['created', 'max_price']
max_display_length = 500
def render_column(self, row, column):
user = self.request.user
url_edit=static('images/icons/icon_changelink.gif')
url_delete=static('images/icons/icon_deletelink.gif')
#print url_edit, url_delete
if column == 'title':
value = '{0}=>{1}:{2}-{3}'.format(row.vehicle_make,row.vehicle_model,
row.max_year,row.min_year)
edit_url = reverse('search_detail', args=(row.id,))
#print self.get_value_cell_style(edit_url, value,'red')
return self.get_value_cell_style(edit_url, value,'red')
elif column == 'max_price':
#print '%s' %row.max_price

#print '%s' %row.min_price
return '%s' %row.min_price
elif column == 'created':
#print row.created.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
return row.created.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
elif column == 'actions':
print "in columns actions"
edit_link = """<a href='%s'><img src='%s'></a>""" %(\
reverse('search_update', args=(row.id,)),url_edit)
delete_link = """<a href='%s'><img src='%s'></a>""" %(\

return '<center>%s %s</center>' % (edit_link, delete_link)
else:
return super(SearchListJson, self).render_column(row, column)
def get_value_cell_style(self, url, value, color=None):
style = '''<center><a href="%s">%s</a></center>''' % (url, value)
if color:
style = '''<center><a href="%s"><font color="%s">%s</font></a>
</center>''' % (url, color, value)
return style
def get_initial_queryset(self):
"""
Filter records to show only entries from the currently logged-in user.
"""
#print "get intial queryset called"
#print Search.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
return Search.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
The js-code
is below:
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#search_table').dataTable( {
"sDom": 'T<"clear">lrtip',
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "{% url 'search_list_json' %}",
"aaSorting": [ [1,'desc'], [2,'desc'] ],
// Disable sorting for the Actions column.
"aoColumnDefs": [ { "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 4 ] } ]
} );
} );
The HTML is:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12">
<div class="well">
<table id="search_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th width="10%"><center>Title</center></th>
<th width="15%">Date Created</th>
<th width="15%">Min Price</th>
<th width="15%">Max Price</th>
<th width="10%"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table><br>
