I am trying to sort my results grid based on a default column header every time the results gets displayed. I tried giving a sorter to the store and it worked fine when the page loads first time. Its working as I want it to be. But the problem arises only when I try to click on a different column header in the grid. When I click on a different header it sorts based on that particular column values. If I click on search button at this point of time without reloading the page, the search results get displayed and are sorted based on my previous selected column. I want this to be sorted based on the default column. Problem is the grid gets refreshed with search results every time I click on search or reset buttons but the column headers are not getting refreshed. So the results are getting sorted based on my previous selection. To fix this problem, I am trying to reload the whole page every time I click on search or reset. Is there a way that I can refresh the column headers along with the search results every time I click on the search so that the results get sorted based on the default column header. I am able to refresh the search results and the pagination part for every search but not the column headers. Any solution...
Thanks....
One thing you didn't mention is whether you really want to allow the user to sort by different columns.
You can switch this behaviour off in the columns definition using sortable: false
http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.2/#!/api/Ext.grid.column.Column-cfg-sortable
If you want to keep that behaviour, you can replace the sorters with the default one again on every load:
var myDefaultSorter=Ext.create('Ext.util.Sorter',{
property:"MyProperty",
direction:"ASC"
});
store.on('beforeload',function(store) {
store.sorters.clear();
store.sorters.add(myDefaultSorter);
}
Have you tried store.sorters.clear() ?

I am using jqgrid(4.5.4) and implemented multi-sorting in it using code below.
multiSort: true
The client also wants to see what column they sorted first and so on. Do we have a way to display it in jqgrid? If this feature doesn't exist, we request this in future release. Thanks
My suggestion is
To show the list of column-name, sort-icon and a close button next to it in the form of tags similar to stack overflow tags(this would be great).Just plain list is also fine. It can be displayed on top/below the grid. It should keep updating each time the sort is performed. We can remove sort on particular column by deleting the tag or clicking on column header(default behavior). The multi-sort order should still be preserved.
I'm trying to find a way to get the page number of a specific record.
This is my problem, after I add a new line I reload the grid, with sorting on, the new line can end up on any page. I need to be able to find the page number of that specific record, so I can navigate to its page and select it.
How can I do that, without having to load every page until I find it.
As I see to to accomplish where you would add a new record, reload the grid and then have that displayed page be the page where the new record would be found in a sorted grid. As a solution I think you would need to set the reloadAfterSubmit: false, and then generate your own reload where you would pass in (via postData) a value that would tell your controller to change the page of data to return to the jqGrid.
When the controller would receive a value in this field you would have to write some code to find which page of data the record would belong to and then pass that page to the jqGrid.
As the grid would be sorted, you could find where where that record would be in the sorted dataset and then grab that page. If you didn't have a very large dataset you could just iterate through every page till you found the page that would contain your result, but the method would depend on how large of dataset you would have. (Ex 5 pages of records, probably acceptable to just iterate through them all, as the dataset becomes larger you will have to look into fetching the proper page of data.)
I have a bit of a unique challenge today. I have a client that wants to be able to search for multiple items based on inserts into a cfgrid. Suppose we have the following web form:
A Country selection dropdown
A State Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
A city Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
An ADD Button
----------------------------------------------------
A CFGRID that will populate a row with selections when the user clicks the add button
----------------------------------------------------
And finally, a CLEAR button, and a GO button on the bottom.
The resulting page will then query the database and get some statistics about the cities selected. So, suppose an individual picks USA > Arizona > Scottsdale and USA > Arizona > Flagstaff. The grid below the options will 'save' each selection and reset to their default options, waiting for a user to pick additional options or click on 'GO'.
The resulting page will then generate columns that list some statistics about the communities and highlight the 'best of' between each selected community.
Each time a user selects the ADD button (assuming three criteria are selected) I want the information to be added into a CFGRID that displays the options selected. Then, After the user selects at least one country/city/state option, have all of the data in the CFGRID get passed to another page that does a query from the data selected. In theory, the user could pick as many communities as they want, assuming they are willing to let the database sludge through enough data to get what they want and wait through a 'loading' screen to get it.
I'm having these challenges, in no particular order:
- I have an HTML grid that I must use per client spec (No Java or Flash, must be HTML)
- I have no idea how to get the selected options into the CFGRID. I assume there is some JavaScript I can write that uses some sort of AddRow function to add data into the grid with the add button but cannot seem to find how to it on the interwebs
- After we conquer the above challenge, how do I pass the data from the grid into the results page? I thought about passing one big string or a structure, but I'm not sure how to do that through the URL or posting, nor how to get the data out of the grid. I wonder if I am better off coding some sort of string that gets passed from the options page to the results page with a get method instead of dealing with the stuff in the CFGRID and have the CFGRID serve only as a 'dummy' display container.
- Finally, after the pass is complete, I would need to loop through through the structure and perform a CFQUERY or CFSTOREDPROC on each row of data, then get the statistics I need to display on the results page. I assume this would depend on how I am getting the data from the options selection page to the results page.
THANK YOU ALL!
CFGRID is great to start, but it can be b*tch to customize and extend... Have you tried editable CFGRID with bind? See how far off it is from what you want first. If it turns out to be very far, then you might want to go for a jqGrid and code up some jQuery.
To start, read Using HTML grids and make the cfgrid editable.

Once you got that working, look at these provided JS functions that you can use with CFGRID

If you still demand a bit more, you might need to dig into the underlying ExtJS component. At that point I would rather use jqGrid
I found out that the best way to handle this was by using a SerializeJSON call and a Deserialize JSON call back and forth. By using JavaScript notation we are able to pass a complex JavaScript object (array) between one page and another. This has the value add of not having to worry about sessions timing out and making URLs clickable from one solution to the next.
This may be a followup to this question Possible to make jqGrid Search Box Stay on Page? - Or it may be unrelated because clicking the search button manually shows the same behavior.
We have a dynamically generated grid that is created by a) making an ajax request to get the grid columns based on a report id and then b) setting up the grid model and fetching the data. When the page loads initially, we pass in a starting report id, but there is a dropdown box on the page that lets the user change reports.
When the dropdown changes, I unload any existing grid, make the ajax request to get the columns, set up the grid model, and then get the data. The columns change, the data changes, and everything looks correct - except the search columns do not change in the search dropdown.
If I close the search box and reopen it, it still has the old search columns. Likewise, if I click the reset button or reload the entire grid.
I found it after a bit more poking around. I needed to set the recreateFilter option to true
prmSearch = {recreateFilter:true,multipleSearch:true,overlay:false,sopt:['cn','eq','ne','lt','le','gt','ge','in','ni','nc']};
I'm working on an InfoPath 2007 form. I have two drop-down lists and i need the second to be populated with items bases on the value chosen in the first list. I use c# to populate the drop-dpwn lists from external sources. I've tried to use the OnChange event to make all this, but the second list is still empty.
If anyone knows, please tell me.
You can filter the entries for the second drop-down list based on your first list (but only if the entries are based on a data source, not manually entered).
Bring up the properties window for
your second drop-down list.
Select your data source.
Click on the button to the right of the Entries text box.
Select the repeating node you wish to use for the basis of your list entry.
Click the Filter Data button. From here you can enter a filter to limit the entries displayed based on the value of your first drop-down list.
Your question was a bit ambiguous. You may be trying to populate a secondary data source based off of your first drop-down list. This should work fine with an OnChange event. Can you post the code you are using to do this?
Some additional tips that may help:
The change event will not fire until focus moves off of the list box. So, for the second drop down to populate, you will need to set the first drop-down then hit tab or click elsewhere in the form.
I don't know the size or nature of the data source you are using for the second drop-down list, but you may consider downloading the entire data source and filter it using the method I described above. This may be a better solution as you won't need to make a database query between entering the first list box and the second one.
