I'm having an internal manipulation over the paging mechanism, so I get the ofset using:
xhr.getResponseHeader("X-list-paging-offset")
And the total using:
xhr.getResponseHeader("X-list-size");
During the callback "beforeProcessing".
So far, so good. The issue I have is with the filtering. When I filter the results while I'm on the 3rd page (example), suppose the filter ends up with only one page of results, I stay on the 3rd page which is empty....
My question is, how do I know to "reset" the page counter when I'm doing filtering? so that the pager will always reset to 1 when filter is initiated?
Thanks,
Tal.
It's strange, because during filtering the page parameter will be explicitly set to 1. I suppose that you should search for the origin on the problem in the code of beforeProcessing which you don't posted here. By the way you can use var p = $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam"); or var p = this.p; to get the option of jqGrid inside of beforeProcessing. You can test p.search or p.postData to get jqGrid used in request to the server. You can use the value in your logic of beforeProcessing callback. I recommend you to use Fiddler or Developer Tools of IE/Chrome/Firefox to verify that page number which will be set to the server is 1 during searching or searching reset.
Only if will find that the reason of the problem is do in wrong options of reloadGrid then I can suggest you an alternative. The current version of free jqGrid from GitHub (the feature included after publishing 4.8 version) contains reloadGridSearchOptions, reloadGridResetOptions and reloadGridOptions options. It can be that the option can help you. The options reloadGridSearchOptions, reloadGridResetOptions are supported inside of searchGrid and triggerToolbar/clearToolbar of filterToolbar. One can use the grid option searching or $.jgrid.search to specify it.
The methods editGridRow, delGridRow and navGrid support reloadGridOptions options. One can use jqGrid option formEditing, formDeleting and navOptions to specify the option reloadGridOptions or $.jgrid.edit, $.jgrid.del, $.jgrid.nav.
Moreover jqGrid support now reloadGridOptions option and so the option
$.jgrid.defaults.reloadGridOptions too.
All the above options allows to specify any reloadGrid options used during reloading.
