'clear_filters' does not work.

[Johnny Pedersen]

I'm trying to use 'clear_filters' but cannot make it work.

What could be the issue?

I also want to place a button - 'Clear filters' to the right of the 'Filters' button.

Hi Johnny.

Did you tried: 

item.clear_filters();

item.refresh_page();

Regards

Danijel

Hi,

Thanks, it works fine by clearing the filters defined in "Filters".  It would be nice if the other part of the column filter also could be cleared at the same time.

Is it possible to do?

That is search, not a filter.

(*) To be fair, it is quite annoying how Search works at the moment, since changing 

a dropdown for a search column will clear the search string :(

At the moment of writing in the search field, the user might decide to search some other column.

Or some other. Or other...

What I liked in Jam v4 was the ability to search columns by merely clicking on any column.
Search even had a badge sign (?) with this tip:
'To select a search field hold Ctrl key and click on the corresponding column of the table.'

This was way faster than navigating through the dropdown list. No idea why was this approach dumped.

So what to do for (*)? 

First, fork Jam. Why? Because this will not go into the main branch before acceptance.

Find  jam.js line 921 and comment  out this on your branch:

                        search.focus();
                        search.val('');

Same in jam.min.js, find, comment out.

Hence, the (*) is now fixed and you can write a solution for clearing the search field, 

and contribute to the project in a similar way.

Cheers
