I've broken my filtering, please help

[NigelParticipant]

I’ve gone to retest my stuff and the filter icon no longer appears when I move the mouse over the header. It works fine in jsfiddle, so it is all me. I have stripped my code back to the bare minimum:

	$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid({
		source: dataAdapter,
		virtualmode: true,
		rendergridrows: function (params) {
			return params.data;
		},
		sortable: true,
		filterable: true,
		columns: [
		{
			text : 'Page',
			datafield : 'page_number',
			width : 80
		}, {
			text : 'Item',
			datafield : 'spec_notation',
			width : 80
		}, {
			text : 'Description of the Spec Item',
			datafield : 'name',
			width : 300
		}]
	});

The data renders fine and sorts as expected when I click on the column header, but the filter icons just won’t appear when I move the mouse into the header and there is no feedback in the console.

I have tried commenting out the include for jqgrid.filter.js, and I get the expected error, so the grid is expecting to work.

1. What else can I check to debug what I have broken?
2. Is there a debug logging facility that might help?
3. Can I force the filter icon to always be visible?

Kind regards
Nigel

Oh, I have found that if I use this:

showfilterrow: true,

The row is visible and works fine, but the icon it adds to the header is not clickable or in any way reactive.

Hi Nigel,

showfilterrow: true displays a filter row. Filter icon is not clickable. It’s displayed when your column is filtered. Also you use Virtual Mode which means that you need to implement Server Filtering based on the server http variables passed by jqxGrid.

Hi Peter,

I have server side filtering which worked well, but the issue is I don’t get the icon buttons to engage it. They worked for a while, then stopped, then came back briefly, and now have stopped working again.

I have since added the filter row and it is pretty cool. I think I’m going to leave that there.

Thanks.
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Filter Icons are displayed when a Filter is applied to a column. There is absolutely no issue with that functionality. This is a fact which can be easily checked in our online demos. Filter Icons are removed when a Column filter is cleared.
