JQGRID - Column chooser too slow when setGroupHeaders defined on grid - jqgrid

I have a problem with the column chooser, very slow to display result after choosing column to add or remove. I have noticed the "setGroupHeaders" is the problem. The couple column Chooser and Group Header does not seem to have good performences.
I'm on JqGrid 4.3.1 , with the last jquery libs. The problem occured also with previous versions (I had to up to date all the libraries to be sure the problem didn't come from older versions).
I ve really searched on forums to find any post about this, but I can't find anything. Am I the only one with this problem? Is it referenced ?
Thanks by advance for your help!!

I was having same problem of extremely slow column chooser on large number of columns (>500 columns). I can't take most of the performance enhancing drugs (I mean tweaks) since I am using treegrid. Sometimes, it takes more than 3 minutes just to apply and redraw the grid.
However, I came up with a dirty brutal way to get around. The unique thing for me is I always retain a copy of data (json format local in js). Therefore, any redraw will not have a network traffic at all. So, I implement a column chooser myself and do a brutal unload and recreate the grid. Now, it takes about at most 10+ seconds to apply the chosen columns and redraw.
Here is the code of my column chooser. As you can see it's highly specialized for my program, but you can get an idea. The fansy GUI is from here And, please forgive me if I made some lousy code.
choose_column: function() {
var me = this;
var rn=this.response_json.colNames;
var rm=this.response_json.colModel;
var line_text;
var html_text = '<select id="column_selector" class="multiselect" multiple="multiple" name="countries[]" style="width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; height: 340px; ">\n';
for ( var i = 0 ; i < rn.length; i++ ) {
if (rm[i].hidden) {
line_text = '<option value="'+i+'">'+rn[i]+'</option>\n';
} else {
line_text = '<option value="'+i+'" selected="selected">'+rn[i]+'</option>\n';
}
html_text += line_text;
}
html_text += '</select>';
jQuery("#dlg_choose_columns").empty()
.append(html_text);
jQuery(".multiselect").multiselect({
sortable: true,
searchable: true,
hide: 'explode',
show: 'blind',
dividerLocation: 0.5
});
jQuery("#dlg_choose_columns").dialog({
width: 535,
height: 550,
modal: true,
title: 'Select Columns',
hide: 'explode',
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
var selected_values = jQuery(".multiselect").val();
for ( var i = 0; i < rn.length; i++ ) {
rm[i].hidden = true;
}
for ( var i = 0; i < selected_values.length; i++ ) {
delete rm[selected_values[i]].hidden;
}
jQuery("#dlg_choose_columns").dialog("close");
me.unload_jqgrid();
me.create_grid(null, me.is_tree, me.need_plot);
},
"Cancel": function() {
jQuery("#dlg_choose_columns").dialog("close");
}
}
});

Fix kendo grid header

I want to set a kendo grid header fixed. After a lot of internet search I cannot find what I exactly want to do.
This post on telerik doc show how to fix header on top of window : https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/Layout/fixed-headers-grid
But it's not exactly what I want to do. I want the header fixed when scrolling the page on the location it is on the page load.
How can I do this ?
After hard work and insanity test I finally found how to fix this grid header. So I share it here because I think many people want to do this...
I rework the telerik tutorial a little for fix the header where you want, take in consideration if the grid has a toolbar and to be reusable :)
CSS :
.fixed-header {
position: fixed;
width: auto;
z-index: 10000;
}
Javascript ('#main-header' is the selector of my website main menu) :
/**
* Fix grid header
* #param {kendo.ui.Grid} grid - The grid
* #param {string} [selector] - The selector of the element which the header must be "stuck" on scrolling, by default the main menu
*/
function fixGridHeader(grid, selector) {
var wrapper = grid.wrapper,
toolbar = wrapper.find(".k-grid-toolbar"),
header = wrapper.find(".k-grid-header");
function resizeFixed() {
var paddingRight = parseInt(header.css("padding-right"));
header.css("width", wrapper.width() - paddingRight);
}
function scrollFixed(selector) {
var offset = $(selector ? selector : '#main-header').offset().top + $(selector ? selector : '#main-header').outerHeight(),
tableOffsetTop = wrapper.offset().top,
top = $('#main-header').height() + (selector ? $(selector).height() : 0);
if (offset >= tableOffsetTop) {
header.addClass("fixed-header");
if (toolbar.length > 0) {
toolbar.addClass("fixed-header");
toolbar.css({ 'top': top, width: "100%" });
header.css({ 'top': top + toolbar.innerHeight() });
}
else {
header.css({ 'top': top });
}
}
else {
header.removeClass("fixed-header");
if (toolbar.length > 0)
toolbar.removeClass("fixed-header");
}
}
resizeFixed();
$(window).resize(resizeFixed);
$(window).scroll(function () { scrollFixed(selector); });
}

Jquery Mobile + Phonegap improve listview performance

In my JQM 1.4 + Phonegap 3.6 app, I am using a listview as in the following code.

This dynamically displays a long list of images and text, depending on wether filters (checkboxes) are checked or not, and this list is quite long to generate and particularly difficult to scroll in iOS.... The performance is bad.
Can you help me figure out a way to improve the performance.
The accepted answer is not correct. Your code is slow, but not because of jQuery Mobile. Take a look at the loop in your jsFiddle: jsfiddle.net/L3gr46s8/4
for (i = 0; i <= 50; i++) {
$('ul[data-role="listview"]').append('<li>' + 'list item ' + i + '</li>');
$('ul[data-role="listview"]').listview('refresh');
}
There are a couple very significant problems in those four lines of code.
First, your code executes two DOM traversals to locate the ul on the page. You could execute $('ul[data-role="listview"]') before the loop and store the result in a variable:
var listView = $('ul[data-role="listview"]');
Second, your code inserts the list item directly to the DOM and you instruct jQuery Mobile to immediately apply markup enhancement with .listview('refresh');. This is extraordinarily expensive! Especially on under-powered mobile devices. Depending upon the browser and page layout, those two lines could trigger a full page re-draw with every iteration of the loop.
You should render the content as a DocumentFragment (in memory), insert it all to the DOM in one action and tell JQM to enhance the markup once at the end. Even simply moving $('ul[data-role="listview"]').listview('refresh'); out of the loop would be a dramatic improvement.
Here is some additional reading on the importance of rendering your content first in memory before inserting it into the DOM:
How expensive is it to dynamically insert DIVs using JavaScript?
John Resig - DOM DocumentFragments
To put it short, jQuery Mobile is simply slow.
I have a dynamic listview in my app and also had performance issues when using jQuery Mobile. I came to a conclusion that the issue was in rendering and was caused by jQuery Mobile. I implemented my own styling and the rendering time came down from 170ms to 25ms.
Here's some backup to my point (3 articles): http://apachecordova.blogspot.fi/search/label/jQuery%20Mobile
EDIT:
As an answer to your question in the comments, I don't think it would help if I posted my code here. The whole point is that you only write the code YOU need. My listview probably is totally different than yours.
To prove my point (again), I made two listviews. The first one is a basic jQM listview. The other one is styled with custom CSS and it's pretty close to what I use in my app. There's a button in both which renders the listview. What is happening under the hood is very different:
jQM: As you can see, there's a lot of stuff (that you may not need) going on
Custom CSS: attached an event listener to all the elements to make the comparison more fair
These profiles have been recorded with Chrome Developer Tools and the difference is obvious: 173ms vs 12ms. This custom CSS took me about 5min to write:
#custom-listview {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#custom-listview li {
display: block;
position: relative;
overflow: visible;
}
#custom-listview a {
display: block;
position: relative;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
padding: .7em 1em;
font-size: 16px;
background-color: #333;
border: solid 1px #1f1f1f;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
I had to add some code here, because SO won't let me link to Fiddle without:
jQM
Custom CSS
I'm not saying jQuery Mobile is all bad. It's good for many things. But if you have complex structure and/or a lot of data, the performance may become an issue especially in PhoneGap apps. That's the conclusion I have come to with my little experience.

JqGrid : Restore state inluding column filters after column rearange

I'm in the situation I need to save the state op the grid after re-sizing, reordering, hiding columns.
All works well, except that the column filters (drop-downs, text field, date-picker) are not restored in the correct column after the column with the filter in is moved (collumnchooser).
Using the following JavaScript, I can restore most what I need (size, order and visibility of the columns), but restoring the filters in the right columns doesn't work. (Filters appear several columns after where they should.
var listName = jQuery('#list').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'customName');
var colModel = LoadColumnModel(listName);
var perm = jQuery.cookies.get(listName + '_list_perm');
var rowNumber = jQuery.cookies.get(listName + '_list_rowNumber');
if (colModel) {
var grid = jQuery('#list');
for (var i = 0; i < colModel.length; i++) {
var column = colModel[i];
if (column.hidden) {
grid.jqGrid('hideCol', column.name);
};
***//I hoped next line would do the trick, but it didn't :(***
if (column.search && column.searchoptions) {
grid.jqGrid('setColProp', column.name, { search: true, searchoptions: column.searchoptions });
};
}
grid.jqGrid('setGridParam', { colModel: colModel });
loadGrid = false;
if (rowNumber) {
grid.jqGrid('setGridParam', { rowNum: rowNumber });
jQuery('.ui-pg-selbox').val(rowNumber);
}
grid.trigger('reloadGrid');
if (perm) {
grid.jqGrid("remapColumns", perm, true);
}
}
Anyone has a clue?
You should don't set searchoptions in the grid. instead of that you can save/restore the postData parameter of jqGrid.
I would recommend you to look at the answer, the answer and this one. It shows how to implement the saving/restoring of the grid state. I used localStorage instead of the cookies because of reasons which I explained in the answer.

How to get a jqGrid cell value when editing

How to get a jqGrid cell value when in-line editing (getcell and getRowData returns the cell content and not the actuall value of the input element).
General function to get value of cell with given row id and cell id
Create in your js code function:
function getCellValue(rowId, cellId) {
var cell = jQuery('#' + rowId + '_' + cellId);
var val = cell.val();
return val;
}
Example of use:
var clientId = getCellValue(15, 'clientId');
Dodgy, but works.
Here is an example of basic solution with a user function.
ondblClickRow: function(rowid) {
var cont = $('#grid').getCell(rowid, 'MyCol');
var val = getCellValue(cont);
}
...
function getCellValue(content) {
var k1 = content.indexOf(' value=', 0);
var k2 = content.indexOf(' name=', k1);
var val = '';
if (k1 > 0) {
val = content.substr(k1 + 7, k2 - k1 - 6);
}
return val;
}
After many hours grief I found this to be the simplest solution. Call this before fetching the row data:
$('#yourgrid').jqGrid("editCell", 0, 0, false);
It will save any current edit and will not throw if there are no rows in the grid.
As you stated, according to the jqGrid documentation for getCell and getRowData:
Do not use this method when you editing the row or cell. This will return the cell content and not the actual value of the input element
Since neither of these methods will return your data directly, you would have to use them to return the cell content itself and then parse it, perhaps using jQuery. It would be nice if a future version of jqGrid could provide a means to do some of this parsing itself, and/or provide an API to make it more straightforward. But on the other hand is this really a use case that comes up that often?
Alternatively, if you can explain your original problem in more detail there may be other options.
Try this, it will give you particular column's value
onSelectRow: function(id) {
var rowData = jQuery(this).getRowData(id);
var temp= rowData['name'];//replace name with you column
alert(temp);
}
Basically, you have to save the row before you access the cell contents.
If you do, then you get the value for the cell instead of the markup that comes when the cell is in edit mode.
jQuery.each(selectedRows, function(index, foodId) {
// save the row on the grid in 'client array', I.E. without a server post
$("#favoritesTable").saveRow(foodId, false, 'clientArray');
// longhand, get grid row based on the id
var gridRow = $("#favoritesTable").getRowData(foodId);
// reference the value from the editable cell
foodData += foodId + ":" + gridRow['ServingsConsumed'] + ',';
});
Hi, I met this problem too. Finally I solved this problem by jQuery. But the answer is related to the grid itself, not a common one. Hope it helps.
My solution like this:
var userIDContent = $("#grid").getCell(id,"userID"); // Use getCell to get the content
//alert("userID:" +userID); // you can see the content here.
//Use jQuery to create this element and then get the required value.
var userID = $(userIDContent).val(); // var userID = $(userIDContent).attr('attrName');
you can use this directly....
onCellSelect: function(rowid,iCol,cellcontent,e) {
alert(cellcontent);
}
This is my solution:
function getDataLine(grida, rowid){ //vykradeno z inineeditu a vohackovano
if(grida.lastIndexOf("#", 0) === 0){
grida = $(grida);
}else{
grida = $("#"+grida);
}
var nm, tmp={}, tmp2={}, tmp3= {}, editable, fr, cv, ind;
ind = grida.jqGrid("getInd",rowid,true);
if(ind === false) {return success;}
editable = $(ind).attr("editable");
if (editable==="1") {
var cm;
var colModel = grida.jqGrid("getGridParam","colModel") ;
$("td",ind).each(function(i) {
// cm = $('#mygrid').p.colModel[i];
cm = colModel[i];
nm = cm.name;
if ( nm != 'cb' && nm != 'subgrid' && cm.editable===true && nm != 'rn' && !$(this).hasClass('not-editable-cell')) {
switch (cm.edittype) {
case "checkbox":
var cbv = ["Yes","No"];
if(cm.editoptions ) {
cbv = cm.editoptions.value.split(":");
}
tmp[nm]= $("input",this).is(":checked") ? cbv[0] : cbv[1];
break;
case 'text':
case 'password':
case 'textarea':
case "button" :
tmp[nm]=$("input, textarea",this).val();
break;
case 'select':
if(!cm.editoptions.multiple) {
tmp[nm] = $("select option:selected",this).val();
tmp2[nm] = $("select option:selected", this).text();
} else {
var sel = $("select",this), selectedText = [];
tmp[nm] = $(sel).val();
if(tmp[nm]) { tmp[nm]= tmp[nm].join(","); } else { tmp[nm] =""; }
$("select option:selected",this).each(
function(i,selected){
selectedText[i] = $(selected).text();
}
);
tmp2[nm] = selectedText.join(",");
}
if(cm.formatter && cm.formatter == 'select') { tmp2={}; }
break;
}
}
});
}
return tmp;
}
I have a solution:
1. Using this.value to get the current editing value in the editing row.
2. Save the cell value to a hidden field when the cell lost its focus.
3. Read the hidden field when you need.
The code:
colModel="[
{ name: 'Net', index: 'Net', editable:true, editoptions: { dataEvents: [ { type: 'focusout', fn: function(e) {$('#HiddenNet').val(this.value);} }] }, editrules:{custom:true,}},
{ name: 'Tax', index: 'Tax', editable:true, editoptions: { dataEvents: [ { type: 'focus', fn: function(e) {this.value=$('#HiddenNet').val(); } }] }, editrules:{custom:true}}
]"
Good Luck
You can get it from the following way...!!
var rowId =$("#list").jqGrid('getGridParam','selrow');
var rowData = jQuery("#list").getRowData(rowId);
var colData = rowData['UserId']; // perticuler Column name of jqgrid that you want to access
In my case the contents of my cell is HTML as result of a formatter. I want the value inside anchor tag. By fetching the cell contents and then creating an element out of the html via jQuery I am able to then access the raw value by calling .text() on my newly created element.
var cellContents = grid.getCell(rowid, 'ColNameHere');
console.log($(cellContents));
//in my case logs <h3>The Value I'm After</h3>
var cellRawValue = $(cellContents).text();
console.log(cellRawValue); //outputs "The Value I'm After!"
my answer is based on #LLQ answer, but since in my case my cellContents isn't an input I needed to use .text() instead of .val() to access the raw value so I thought I'd post this in case anyone else is looking for a way to access the raw value of a formatted jqGrid cell.
its very simple write code in you grid.php and pass the value to an other page.php
in this way you can get other column cell vaue
but any one can make a like window.open(path to pass value....) in fancy box or clor box?
$custom = <<<CUSTOM
jQuery("#getselected").click(function(){
var selr = jQuery('#grid').jqGrid('getGridParam','selrow');
var kelr = jQuery('#grid').jqGrid('getCell', selr, 'stu_regno');
var belr = jQuery('#grid').jqGrid('getCell', selr, 'stu_school');
if(selr)
window.open('editcustomer.php?id='+(selr), '_Self');
else alert("No selected row");
return false;
});
CUSTOM;
$grid->setJSCode($custom);
I think an extension of this would get it for you.
retrieving-original-row-data-from-jqgrid
I think a better solution than using getCell which as you know returns some html when in edit mode is to use jquery to access the fields directly. The problem with trying to parse like you are doing is that it will only work for input fields (not things like select), and it won't work if you have done some customizations to the input fields. The following will work with inputs and select elements and is only one line of code.
ondblClickRow: function(rowid) {
var val = $('#' + rowid + '_MyCol').val();
}
I've got a rather indirect way. Your data should have an unique id.
First, setting a formatter
$.extend(true, $.fn.fmatter, {
numdata: function(cellvalue, options, rowdata){
return '<span class="numData" data-num="'+rowdata.num+'">'+rowdata.num+'</span>';
}
});
Use this formatter in ColModel. To retrieve ID (e.g. selected row)
var grid = $("#grid"),
rowId = grid.getGridPara('selrow'),
num = grid.find("#"+rowId+" span.numData").attr("data-num");
(or you can directly use .data() for latest jquery 1.4.4)
In order to get the cell value when in-line editing you need to capture this event(or another similar event, check documentation):
beforeSaveCell: function (rowid, celname, value, iRow, iCol) { }
In the value parameter you have the 'value' of the cell that was currently edited.
To get the the rest of the values in the row use getRowData()
I lost a lot of time with this, hope this helps.
My workaround is to attach an object containing orignal values to each tr element in the grid. I've used afterAddRecord callback to get my hands on the values before jqGrid throws them away and jQuery's "data" method to store them in the work.
Example:
afterInsertRow: function( rowid, rowdata, rowelem ) {
var tr = $("#"+rowid);
$(tr).data("jqgrid.record_data", rowelem);
},
“rowelem” is the array of cell values from our JSON data feed or [jsonReader] (http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:retrieving_data#jsonreader_as_function)
Then at any point I can fetch those attributes using:
$(tr).data(“jqgrid.record_data”).
More at: http://wojciech.oxos.pl/post/9423083837/fetching-original-record-values-in-jqgrid
I think that Aidan's answer is by far the best.
$('#yourgrid').jqGrid("editCell", 0, 0, false);
This commits any current edits, giving you access to the real value. I prefer it because:
You don't have to hard-code any cell references in.
It is particularly well suited to using getRowData() to get the entire grid, as it doesn't care which cell you've just been editing.
You're not trying to parse some markup generated by jqGrid which may change in future.
If the user is saving, then ending the edit session is likely the behaviour they would want anyway.
Before i was getting :
html tag of the textbox something like
but Here is the solution to get the value from that particular column, working and tested
function getValue(rowId, cellId) {
var val = $("[rowId='"+rowId+"'][name='"+cellId+"']").val();
return val;
}
var values = getValue(rowId, 'cellid');
I obtain edit value using javascript:
document.getElementById('idCell').value
I hope this info useful for someone.
I needed the original value before the formatter, so this is what I did:
{
name: 'Slot', title: false, formatter: function (cellValue, options, rowObject) {
rowObject['SlotID'] = cellValue; // <--- This saves the original ID
if (somelogic) {
return someString;
} else {
return someOtherString;
}
}
},
{ name: 'SlotID', hidden: true }
Now SlotID contains the original ID. Also, you don't need to have SlotID property on your original model.
try subscribing to afterEditCell event it will receive (rowid, cellname, value, iRow, iCol) where value is your a new value of your cell
You can use getCol to get the column values as an array then index into it by the row you are interested in.
var col = $('#grid').jqGrid('getCol', 'Sales', false);
var val = col[row];

images and selectbox in jqgrid

hai i am very new to jquery and jqgrid..
i have implemented a grid...but i don't have any idea to display images in column from the corresponding database value...i tried a lot but failed ..can anybody help me..
regards
In the setup parameters add:
loadComplete: function() {
var ids = $("#list").getDataIDs();
for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
var cl = ids[i];
be = "<img src='http://www.google.com/images/nav_logo6.png'>";
$("#list").setRowData(ids[i], { externalId: be })
}
},
In this example it will load the google logo. This sample goes over all the rows and adds the same item. You can change it do be more dynamic based on the current value of the cell etc.
