colVis + stateSave leads to broken filters

[jonnsn]

Hi,

I have a Datatable with colVis Button and stateSave option set to true.
Once I hide one or more columns and reload the page, the columns are still hidden therefore. If I want to show the columns now, there are no filters for them and I can't seem to add them on 'column-visibility.dt'.
I tried this for example:

dataTable.on('column-visibility.dt', function (e, settings, col_num, state) {
        var obj = {};
        obj[col_num] = yadcf.getOptions(settings.oInstance.selector)[col_num];
        if (obj[col_num] !== undefined) {
            obj[col_num].column_number = col_num;
            if (obj[col_num] !== undefined) {
                appendFilters(settings.oInstance.selector,
                    obj,
                    settings.oInstance.selector);
            }
        }
      });

but obviously appendFilters is not accessible here and I could not find another possibility to init the "new" columns.

I'd be happy for any suggestions :-)

I also have this behavior with colVis and stateSave.

please provide a link to a jsbin/jsfiddle/ etc so I can reproduce this scenario...

@vedmack Thank you for your attention, here is a demo: http://live.datatables.net/kitawawo/4/edit?html,js,output

To reproduce:

• Click button to show/hide cols.
• Hide some cols.
• Click back on table to close widget.
• Refresh table (with Run with JS button)
• State is saved, cols are hidden.
• Make the columns visible again with the button widget.
• Filter input is not restored.

@jonnsn @1nickt , both of you are using datatables with DOM source? because if you do so then it didn't work only because I wasn't listening to the colvis events in DOM source mode, I just added it on my dropbox file and the jsbin works fine, let me know if it works for both of you and I'll commit it.

Hi, I won't get a chance to review tonight, but no, I am using JavaScript
data source.

@vedmack : I use DOM source and it seems to fix the issue for me. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi again Daniel,

Fixed!

( Using Javascript Data Source )

See http://live.datatables.net/kitawawo/8/edit

I also tested with my real site.

You are the man.

Thanks very much.

By the way, I tried many ways to get column filter boxes at the top of my
table with JS data in DataTables, including the ones on the official site
docs, and other more visible plugins, but yours was the first and only one
that I was able to get working. Thank you!
