Filter criterion is not saved in the cooki state about jquery-datatables-column-filter HOT 11 CLOSED

You are right, current custom filter is not saved in the cookie, and therefore 
it is lost once the table is refreshed.
I working on it, but it is tricky because I want to use the same cookie that 
dataTables uses, and if I make any error dataTables will crach.
This feature wil be added in next version when I'm confidient that is works 
fine. 

When will the next version be released ?

Any ETA on this?

Is the "custom filter" what is applied to the column filter (sorry for possibly 
not understanding the terminology)? DataTables saved the column filter 
information in aoPreSearchCols, so you can possibly loop over that and 
repopulate the settings from there. DataTables won't automatically set the 
values of the inputs since it knows nothing about them for individual columns - 
unlike the global filter which is does set.

I've created imlementation for saving state in another cookie for fnCreateInput 
and fnCreateColumnSelect, see atachment:

Hi Greg,

I used your new implementation but it didnt worked well,
i had an error like that : 

//Error
$.cookie is not a function
var cookieJson = $.cookie(cookColumnName); 

any clues?
Thanks

You need add jquery cookie plugin http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie 

Hi,

I have not used cookie plugin but I have created page where state is saved in 
the cookie. Could you take a look at 
http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stateSave.html 
and let me does it works for you too?

Use the latest version of plugin.

Thanks,
Jovan

Similar issue is resolved and confirmed that it works. If similar problem still 
occurs with the latest version of plugin please raise a new issue.

bStateSave works, but the checkbox filters don't maintain a checked "ticked" 
state!
