Filtering in jqgrid

[bimsimsala]

Hi,
is there an easy option to add filter functionality to the jqgrid
implemetation of wiquery-plugin?
If not, how would you start implementing this?

Thanks for your input

Hi Elstefanito,

AFAIK "native" jqgrid filtering functionality is not yet integrated.
Right now you will have to do filtering as with any of other Wicket
based grids:

-Grid is based on IDataProvider interface so you could create an
implementation that is aware of filters (e.g. a bean containing the
information to use as filters).
-Create a form.
-Put the filter text fields and the grid inside this form
-Once form is submitted (e.g. via AJAX) reload the grid via AJAX: this
will trigger a callback to the server, how will end up using data
provider to retrieve new (filtered) data.

Hope this helps. I will see if I can find the time and add an online
example illustrating how to do this.
