JqGrid - Simple Searching With Additional Field(s)



i am using jqgrid and have simple searching enabled. i am wondering if there is a way to add an additional item in the select list of fields that does not exist as a column in the grid. i would call it something like 'Any Field' so i could search on any of the fields and then handle that outcome server side.





thanks grant.

  1. The suggestion of Bethrezen with the usage of one hidden column is one way which you can use. You should only don't forget to use searchhidden: true searchoptions.

    Another way which I can suggest you can see on the demo:



    In the demo I add the

    var defaultFilters = {
    "groupOp": "AND",
    "rules": [
    { "field": "All", "op": "cn", "data": ""}
    ]
    };
    ...
    $('#list').jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager', {add: false, edit: false, del: false},
    {}, {}, {},
    {
    multipleSearch: true,
    overlay: 0,
    onInitializeSearch: function ($form) {
    $form.jqFilter('addFilter', defaultFilters);
    },
    afterRedraw: function (p) {
    if (p.columns.length === $("#list")[0].p.colModel.length) {
    p.columns.push({
    name: 'All',
    label: 'Any Field',
    searchoptions: {},
    searchrules: {},
    searchtype: 'string',
    inputtype: 'text'
    });
    }
    //$(this).find('.delete-rule:first').hide();
    }
    });


    In the demo I extended the p.columns parameter of jqFilter method with and additional "pseudo column" 'Any Field'. It's just the idea which you can I hope adopt to your exact requirements.

  2. Try adding new hidden column and setting hidedlgand hidden to true, viewable to false.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
