Hi Piotr,

This solution almost solved all of my related problems, thanks.

Only the last, but most important step is missing :(

I can extract row data, but 'pluck' does not work:

   var tableData = $('#dtData').DataTable();

    /* This part works, but it is not exactly what I expect
    $('#dtData tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
        var data = tableData.row( this ).data();
        alert( 'You clicked on '+data[1]+'\'s row' );
    });  
    */

    tableData.on ( 'select',  function ( e, dt, type, indexes ) {   
      var rowData = dt.rows( indexes );
      var count   = rowData.count();      
      if ( count == 1 ) {
        // do something with the selected items  
        var colData = rowData.data();
        var cellData= colData[0].pluck(1); //;
        alert ( colData[0] );  // displays a comma separated string

        alert ( cellData );   // cell data is not available, nor with pluck(1), nor with pluck[0]
      }
  });

What is the correct solution? I try to find examples on datatables.net site, but I have no idea, how to fix this issue.

Best regards,

István

Hi sundance,

Something like this should do the job:

var table = $('#example').DataTable();

table.on( 'select', function ( e, dt, type, indexes ) {
    var count = table.rows( { selected: true } ).count();

    // do something with the number of selected rows
} );

If you need additional help I am here for you.

Best Regards, Piotr

PS We are using DataTables plugin with the addition of our styles but the main part of its js functionality is the same as in classic DataTables plugin which has its own support forum that has extended usage examples.

Hi sundance,

To get data out of dataTables you need to use simple funtion .data(); This code should help:

table.rows( { selected: true } ).data();
