DataTables TableTools plugin - How to configure sSwfPath path in Codeigniter? - codeigniter

Question

A re-post of my previous question as I am not getting any satisfactory answer
The problem is as follows :
I have given my code in JSBin http://live.datatables.net/aqowib/2 for which I am not able to link to the sSwfPath properly. I am using codeiginter in my application so I am trying to load the files as follows:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://<?php base_url(); ?>/assets/js/jquery.dataTables.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://<?php base_url(); ?>/js/jquery.dataTables.columnFilter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://<?php base_url(); ?>/media/js/ZeroClipboard.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://<?php base_url(); ?>/media/js/TableTools.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
And my script tag contains the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
var oTable = $('#datatables').dataTable({
"sPaginationType":"full_numbers",
"sDom": 'Tlfrtip',
"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "<?php base_url();?>/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf"
},
"sScrollX": "100%",
"bScrollCollapse": true,
"bAutoWidth": true,
"aaSorting":[[0, "asc"]],
"bJQueryUI":true
}).columnFilter({
aoColumns: [ null,
null,
{ type: "select", values: [ 'male', 'female'] },
null,
null,
null,
null,
{ type: "select", values: [ '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7','8','9','10'] },
{ type: "select", values: [ 'A', 'B', 'C'] },
null,
{ type: "select", values: ['P', 'A'] },
null,
null,
null
]
});
});
Everytime I am getting the 404 error saying that Unable to load SWF file - please check the SWF path
Please help me where am I wrong ?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Ah, Got the solution !!
You just need to configure the sSwfPath URL in the TableTools.js file i.e.
CHANGE TableTools default settings for initialisation
Here I go :
TableTools.DEFAULTS = {
"sSwfPath": "http://localhost/codegen/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf", <----------------- HERE IS WHERE I GOT STUCK
"sRowSelect": "none",
"fnPreRowSelect": null,
"fnRowSelected": null,
"fnRowDeselected": null,
"aButtons": [ "copy", "csv", "xls", "pdf", "print" ]
};
Thanks :-)

No need to write full path
Just place echo before base_url :)
Change
<?php base_url();?>
To
<?php echo base_url();?>
