I've been looking around for a good jquery table and came across jqGrid. It seems like a very useful tool. One thing I was hoping to find is the ability for users to create a filter, name it, save it, and then access it later for other datasets.

Hello,

This is possible and requiere a little programing effort to make this happen.

The search rules are a parameter in the grid postData and this parameter is named filters.

Every time the user perform a serach you can save the filter using

var currentfilter = $(“#grid”).jqGrid('getGridParam','postData').filters;

this filter can be saved depending on your needs and later you can invokethe serech this way

$(“#grid”).jqGrid('setGridParam',{postData: { filters : currentfilter }, search:true });

$(“#grid”).trigger(“reloadGrid”);

Hope this help

Regards

Thank you for the information.

Instead of trying to save each search a user performs, which they may not wish to keep, is there a way to add a button to the search form so they can click, name, and save the search?

Or, even a custom form on the html page that captures the filter information and allows them to save. I guess that is how I might do it with the information you gave me.

I know there would need to be some backend process for saving (php, mysql, etc) which can be built.

Hello,

Currently there is no such button on the search form.

As for the custom form you can make a button in the page and make it so that when the user click on it to save the curren filter.

You my ask for the name to be saved and then save

var filters =[];

$(“#mybutton”).click(function(){

// ask the user to enter a short name let say

var currentname = 'test1';

// get the filter

var currentfilter = $(“#grid”).jqGrid('getGridParam','postData').filters;

// push it into array

filters[currentname] =
