Row grouping with colvis buttons does not update colspan

    I am using row grouping and buttons for column visibility. I have some columns at the end of the table hidden initially, until a colvis button shows them.

    Unfortunately with row grouping this does not work properly. Whilst the column is added fine, the colspan of the grouped rows is not increased, and hence those rows have one less column in. This mucks up the formatting. The colspan of grouped rows should get incremented when a column is made visible, and decremented when a column is hidden.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I don’t know a solution for how this could be achieved ??
    The only suggestion that I have right now would be to display that column from the beginning.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Is this a bug with datatables itself? And is there somewhere that can be reported?

    Hi,

    no, it’s a missing feature in the JavaScript code for the RowGrouping. That’s something that I came up with some years ago, based on some code snippets that I had found.

    One idea might be to replace that with a newer and “official” DataTables Extension, https://datatables.net/extensions/rowgroup/
    However, I haven’t yet found the time to make this usable as a TablePress Extension.

    Ah, ok. Hope you can find time, because then you could probably address https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/row-grouping-and-column-counter/ as well ??

    Hi,

    it’s definitely planned, but I can’t make promises. With the current situation, things are rather busy already. ??

    That other issue might also be fixed with that method, at least I can’t see why not, on first glance.
