Issues with rowspan? about footable HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi dhanlon,

Currently FooTable has no support for rowspans but it is something I could look into for a future update however this would probably only happen after paging support is released.

Thanks

I'd like to also "vote" on this issue, if possible. Rowspan in the headers would make some layouts a lot nicer to look at, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Agreed, would be very helpful!

👍 Is anyone already working on this?

Hi,

I would like a solution in the footable plugin (really great plugin btw), but since there isn't one yet, I decided to script a solution on my own. It's only working on table headers now, but perhaps you can change it to your own needs.

Just set rowspan to the upper row like this:

<thead>
    <tr class="footable-group-row">
        <th class="head" rowspan="2">Stahlsorten</th>
        <th class="head" rowspan="2">Normbezeichnung</th>
        <th colspan="2" class="left" data-group="Oberflächenveredelungen">Oberflächenveredelungen</th>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <th class="head" data-class="head">Stahlsorten</th>
        <th class="head" data-toggle="true" data-class="head">Normbezeichnung</th>
        <th data-hide="phone" data-group="Oberflächenveredelungen">ZE</th>
        <th data-hide="phone" data-group="Oberflächenveredelungen">Z</th>
    </tr>
</thead>

And then hide the other cells via JS.

$table.on('footable_breakpoint', function(data) {
                // rowspan: hide other headers
                $table.find('th[rowspan]').each(function() {
                    var $th = $(this),
                        index = $th.index(),
                        rowspan = $th.attr('rowspan');

                    // get all cells in the next rows (dependend on the rowspan-value) and hide them
                    $th.parent('tr').nextAll('tr:lt(' + rowspan + ')')
                        .find('th:eq(' + index + ')').hide();
                });
            })
            .footable();

I used the breakpoint event because with it I can detect display changes on the element.

It's not a perfect solution and maybe it's not working in all cases, but I hope I can help someone.

@steveush was this fixed/implemented?

Hi,

V2 is no longer supported and it sat for a very long time and so issues just built up. Seeing as V3 has been the default branch for quite a while now (over a year) and development is continuing on it I am bulk closing all old V2 issues in an attempt to cleanup the repo a bit. I will also be going through the old pull requests and possibly removing the entire V2 branch as it is stagnant and just causes confusion.

As for if this has been implemented in V3, no it has not. V3 was designed to fill the gap between having to roll your own for simple tables and having to implement https://datatables.net/, seeing as they have copied the way the row collapsing works from FooTable they are a very good solution to use for more complex table layouts or for full ajax support.

Thanks
