mottie tablesorter hide filter row permanently

Question

I'm using tablesorter 2.17.4 with the filter widget and setting filters programmatically with .setFilters

I know that widgetOptions filter_hideFilters: true allows you to hide the filter row unless you mouseover it but I'd like to hide it all the time. As it stands as soon as you apply a filter it shows. setting its css to display:none does not help as this is being overridden by the code. Is there a config option anywhere to control this?

Any help much appreciated

Answer 1

The option you want is filter_columnFilters, set that to false and the filter row will not be added:

$(function(){
  $("table").tablesorter({
    widgets: ["filter"],
    widgetOptions : {
      filter_columnFilters : false
    }
  });
});
