I could solve this with a slight hack...

In Loadcomplete handler, we need to extract contents of the summary footer and add them to the group header row.

$("#" + treeId + " tr.jqfoot").each(function () {

var summaryrow = $(this);

var level = summaryrow.attr('jqfootlevel');

var groupSelector = 'tr.jqgroup.' + treeId + 'ghead_' + level + ':first';

// get matching previous group row for level.  prev doesn't work so using prevAll. //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5778092/jquery-selector-for-previous-instance-of-a-class
var grouprow = summaryrow.prevAll(groupSelector); 

// grouprow by default stretches to entire table.

// reduce that to occupy till first column. as we will add other columns from footer.

grouprow.children('td').attr('colSpan', 1); 

 // get other columns

var childrenSkipFirst = summaryrow.children(':nth-child(n+' + (2) + ')'); // 1 based index          

summaryrow.children().remove(); // remove the non-result columns left over, this will hide the summary row.
grouprow.append(childrenSkipFirst);

}

Can this be used to copy rows/info from summary footer onto the group header row and then discard/hide summary footer rows?

  I have a similar requirement.  Is there some way to accomplish this?

1.  Want the summary info appearing in the group header row instead of footer.  By group header row, I mean the rows with the + sign.

2.  Using CustomFormatter and options.rowId containing "ghead_" we can decide what needs to be displayed in the group header row.  But, this gets called before the Summary Function (summaryType: customSummary).  So, the summary info would not be available at the time of rendering the header row.

How to extract the summary info constructed through a cusotm summary function and display on the group header row?

I'm using jqgrid 4.5.2.

first of all I want to say that you've done a great job with this application! I really like it.

I use grouping a lot and want to show the summary footer along with it. But this will give me 2 rows when all rows collapsed. It would be very nice if the header could provide the summary information so that a single row would be enough.

Cheers!
