    <p>I'm building an administration panel app using Codeigniter and would like to fetch my member records using the Server Side Processing method of jQuery DataTables (since i've got quite a large number of member records). I'm using the <a href="https://github.com/IgnitedDatatables/Ignited-Datatables/" rel="nofollow">Ignited DataTables</a> CI library to fetch and attempt to display my data. I was able to get this working with the standalone version of Datatables Server Side Implementation found <a href="http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/data_sources/server_side.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but would like to get this working with CodeIgniter in order to be in line with the rest of my app. Here's my code so far: </p> <p>CI Controller:</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;load-&gt;library('DataTables'); $this-&gt;load-&gt;model('table_model', 'table'); $this-&gt;datatables-&gt;select('member_id, username,email, first_name, last_name') -&gt;from($this-&gt;table-&gt;getTable('members')) -&gt;join($this-&gt;table-&gt;getTable('groups'), 'members.group_id = member_groups.group_id', 'left') -&gt;select('group_title'); echo $this-&gt;datatables-&gt;generate(); exit; </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table id="members"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Member ID&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Username&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Email&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;First Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Last Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Group Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="7" class="dataTables_empty"&gt;Loading members...&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>jQuery:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $("#members").dataTable({ "bProcessing" : true, "bServerSide" : true, "sAjaxSource" : "/members/fetch_members", "sPaginationType" : "full_numbers" }); }); </code></pre> <p>JSON response:</p> <pre><code>{ "sEcho": 0, "iTotalRecords": 11007, "iTotalDisplayRecords": 11007, "aaData": [ //member records here], "sColumns": "member_id,username,email,first_name,last_name,group_title" } </code></pre> <p>Any and all help would be appreciated!</p>

    1. CO11007 records are rather a lot, no? Have you tried testing it with fewer (say, 100)? It might be overloading DataTables.

    2. COI figured it out...the IgnitedDataTables library was only checking for $_POST data and my script was sending the parameters as $_GET data.I modified the library to check for both input streams (`$this->ci->input->get_post()`). Hope this helps other people who are stuck down the road.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
