Replace jqGrid: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:28, 9 March 2016

We want to replace jQgrid with another similar jQuery library.

Why?

Hard to exactly control and style the HTML, e.g. wrap something with a span tag
Not maintained since the license changed
...more?

Wanted features

Sort by column
Inline edit or pop-up edit
Fetch using Ajax
Filter?
Pagination
GPL or MIT license

Other notes

CPDB

CPDB uses jQgrid to open up - within the table - possibilities to edit attributes and surveys for one participant. This should probably be a dialog instead.

Dialog or inline

Actual edit in token don't update link. And we have issue with some control. A dialog edit fix this 2 issue more easily.
