On Embedded table, column header displays "None" about django-datatable-view HOT 5 CLOSED

So i find out that this is because the model isn't explicitly specified .

While the datatable is constructed from the ajax_url and option (which contains the column names) , the column title have another opinion and expect it's assignment from the model field name apparently.
I'm trying to dig-in deeper to find where the assignment actually take place , but no success yet.

Thanks for your patience so far! I'm sorry you've had trouble with the model value. I'll be happy to dig in and help get to the bottom of this one. I've just returned from a PyCon trip and now today I'm moving apartments, but by tomorrow I should be situated and able to really have a look.

Is your code pretty much the same as the pattern shown on that demo? If so, I'll try to construct a sample on my end and figure out what I can.

Oh, I misread your first comment, thinking that the demo was working while yours wasn't. I should be able to figure that one out. Sorry for the trouble!

My hunch is that you can add a third optional arg to get_datatable_structure() for model=TheModel. The base DatatableView normally passes that information along when it's the one responsible for the table construction. But in a satellite view situation, I think we've forgotten to include that tidbit in the documentation.

Let me know if that helps solve the problem, and I'll get that documentation updated when I'm able.

Lucky you just returning from PyCon trip. :) Good luck with moving apartments & Thanks for that cool piece of code.
As my 2nd comment , i did add the parameter model to get_datatable_structure & the issue got fixed indeed.
I suggest the app can be little further enhanced to fallback to provided column names (specified in parameter option) when there is no model passed.

Best
