trigger pager events

[mvanleest]

It would be useful to use some of the functions in the pager extension directly.

for instance $("#tableid").gotoPage(1);

I've been trying to get this to work with the current code, but after a couple of hours trying I'm giving up! Any help if this is already possible would be appreciated!

Hi mvanleest!

Well, there isn't a clear cut obvious solution for this, but for now you can use the code below, messy I know.

var $t = $('table');
$t[0].config.pager.page = 2; // page to go to
$.data($t[0], 'pagerUpdateTriggered', false); // make sure pager update flag is false
$t.trigger('sortEnd.pager'); // trigger a sortEnd targetting the pager

I think adding a new pager change page method would be best. Look for it in the next update. Maybe it should be named setPage? And used like this:

$('table').trigger('setPage', 2);

Here is a demo using the above code. It'll have to do until I can add the new method.

Thanks! This works for me.

1 thing I would add to the new version is standardized functions and events, so all functionality within the sorter and pager are programmatically available with digging through the code like this.

For instance:

• setPage()
• getPage()
• getTotalPages()
• getTotalFilteredPages()
• pageChangeEvent
  etc

Thanks for the help and looking forward to V3 :-)

Actually everything is saved within table.config.pager:

• Current page: table.config.pager.page
• Total rows: table.config.pager.totalRows
• Total pages: table.config.pager.totalPages
• Total filtered rows: table.config.pager.filteredRows
• Total filtered pages: table.config.pager.filteredPages
• Start row: table.config.pager.startRow
• End row: table.config.pager.endRow

I'm guessing this issue has been resolved, so I'm closing it. Please feel free to reopen it if you continue to have problems.
