If html5 data- attributes set (data-filter etc) on td's, yadcf returns 'undefined'

[FriendlyWP]

If I set data-filter or data-sort attributes in order to control sorting per this article, YADCF stops working and returns 'undefined' when using 'select' dropdowns: http://www.datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/html5-data-attributes.html

I'm trying to sort a firstname-lastname column by last name, by inserting data-filter in the 's. I tried all four (data-filter, data-search, data-order, data-sort) and they all give the same result.

Any way yacdf could support these? Thanks so much!

Sorting issues again ? :) haven't tried those, will see whats wrong.

Please use this jsbin http://jsbin.com/bigigo/2/ to demonstrate your issue (it uses latest daatatbles and yadcf versions)

Here you go - see column 0 html / output:

I get the same results with data-search, data-order, and data-sort in the
td's.

Thanks for investigating!!

What would you expect to populate the select box, the value located in data-filter attribute or the content of the td itself (the visible string) ? eventually I guess I'll make it configurable, just pondering what I should set as a default behavior?

I think the data-filter attribute would populate the select...? I'm
thinking of a first name - last name type situation, where the list itself
displays first-last, but the select dropdown shows last, first (or just
last). Or in the case of dates, the columns might show full date info, and
the data-filter & select dropdown just the year.

But that's just me. I'm open to whichever you choose to implement! :)

Added in 0.8.6
From docs:

* html5_data
                Required:           false
                Type:               String
                Default value:      undefined
                Possible values:    data-filter / data-search / anything that is supported by datatables
                Description:        Allows to filter based on data-filter / data-search attributes of the <td> element, read more: http://www.datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/html5-data-attributes.html

b.t.w the moment you use the data-filter / data-search , datatables relies only on them to do the filteting so displayed values cannot be used for the filtering

Not sure it's related yet but I currently get a "It seems you have forgot to define html5_data attribute for column x" error message when any field/row in my serverside setup and ajax/JSON contains "null" as value. I guess this update was the one adding that error message to the system, apologies if wrong as I'm pretty new to all of this.
