Hello Cas,

custom formatter is a callback function, like WindowProc for example. So jqGrid will call it and will not know in what calls which value of iColNum should be used. In general the parameters of all callback functions define the caller, so by jqGrid or by Windows, and you should implement the function with the defined parameters if you want to use the feature and not vice versa. Like Microsoft will not rewrite Windows Code for one customer, jqGrid code can not be rewritten for every user. Moreover, like I described at the beginning of my email, jqGrid can not know which value of the additional parameter could be used at the different calls.

If you want to define the function with additional parameter like

you can call it yourself from the custom formatter function of every column where it need be used:

and so on. So you should call yourself the function which you define.

Best regards

Oh my god, it's worked, thanks you so much

You're the man!! This sorted it out.

Thanks!

Here is my current formatter function:

ProjectLink_formatter = function (cellvalue, options, rowObject){
        return "<a href='" + rowObject.childNodes[6].textContent + "' target=_new title='Click to navigate to the Project Workspace'>" + cellvalue + "</a>";
}

Now, I would like to replace the hardcoded "6" in the function above with a variable parameter, so that I can use any value. Something like this:

ProjectLink_formatter = function (cellvalue, options, rowObject,iColNum){
        return "<a href='" + rowObject.childNodes[iColNum].textContent + "' target=_new title='Click to navigate to the Project Workspace'>" + cellvalue + "</a>";
}

What are the best options?

Thanks,

Cas

if you post the code example with your custom formatter and explain what which information you want to have additionally in the custom formatter one could explain all more clear.

Best regards

se for algo desse tipo

{myColun: myFunction(param1,param2)}

para o addRowData, funciona sim

até mais!

Hi,

Is it possible to send additional parameters to a custom formatter function?

Thanks,

Cas
