Source Adapter Data bug

[Benji6996Participant]

I may be wrong but I am pretty sure there is a bug in the ‘dataadapter’ source.data option. Whilst it took me a long time to find, the documentation states that you can supply an object like so:

var source = {
    url: '//www.example.com/test.php',
    data: {'reference':'test'}
};

However, none of the object properties are passed to the server… It works if I use an array, but then I don’t get ‘reference’=>’test’, I get 0=>’test’.

Apologies if I am not using it correctly but i assumed it would act the same as the jQuery Ajax data property…

If it helps, I am using version 2.5.5

Thanks in Advance

Hi Benji6996,

The documentation available on our website is for jQWidgets 2.8.3. If you have an issue, then please make sure that it is present in jQWidgets 2.8.3, too.

All updated, now running version 2.8.3 and I am still having trouble sending the parameters with the data property. I assume it is sent as a GET variable?

Hi,

1. You may take a look at this help topic: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxgrid/jquery-grid-extra-http-variables.htm.

2. Yes, the params are sent as GET by default if POST is not explicitly set.

I am doing exactly what it states in the example, as shown here:

var source = {
	url: '//www.example.net/test.php',
	datatype: "json",
	datafields: data.datafields,
	data: {reference:'test'},
	root: 'items',
	cache: false,
	filter: function(){
		// Update the grid and send a request to the server.
		$("#mfs_grid").jqxGrid('updatebounddata', 'filter');
	},
	sort: function(){
		// Update the grid and send a request to the server.
		$("#mfs_grid").jqxGrid('updatebounddata', 'sort');
	},
	beforeprocessing: function(data){
		if(data != null){
			// Update the total records
			// THIS NEEDS UPDATING
			//source.totalrecords = data[0].TotalRows;					
		}
	}
};

I am sure I could get it to work using the format data property, but just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong…

Hi,

Unfortunately, I do not know what is the issue on your side. The “data” field of the source object works as expected with the current version and we also have online sample as a proof here: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/bindingtojsonp.htm?web. We send 3 custom parameters to a remote server and depending on the parameter values, it returns data that is displayed in the Grid.

Thanks for your help, I have managed to sort it after some extensive debugging in my code.

Thanks again
