Great,

Thanks. Also we can use GridUnload method and then create again the

grid with new colModel options

Just one more adjustment for the colModel in the php end.

$test->colmodel = array(array('name' => 'id', 'index' => 'id', 'editable' => false , 'editoptions' => array('readonly' => true,'size' => 10)),
           array('name' => 'role_id',        'index' => 'role_id',     'editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)),
        array('name' => 'username',        'index' => 'username',     'editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)),
        array('name' => 'password',        'index' => 'password',     'editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)),
        array('name' => 'first_name',    'index' => 'first_name','editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)),
        array('name' => 'last_name',    'index' => 'last_name', 'editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)),
        array('name' => 'email',        'index' => 'email',     'editable' => true,'editoptions' => array('size' => 25)));

This works fine.

Ok I found a sollution. It wasn't that difficult and just to let you all know it does work.

The php end:

The javascript end:

$.ajax({
    url: basedir+"users/test",
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data){
                    var colnames = data.colnames;
                    var colmodel = data.colmodel;
                  $("#usergrid").jqGrid({
                           url: 'path',
                           datatype: "json",
                           colNames: colnames,
                           colModel: colmodel,
                           .....
                    });

}

});

So you can create the full colModel en colNames in the backend, then call it through ajax and then build the grid wih that data.

I hope this is helpfull to anyone.

Kind Regards,

Currently this is not possible. If you need some simple you can use hidden columns and the hideCol and showCol methods

Yes but can you change it after the grid is made? Or add some columns dynamicly

There are a couple of ways depending on what you want to do.

Declare two variables - one for colNames the other for colModel -

on the server construct these arrays and pass them before constructing the grid.

Also you can construct the whole page with PHP and etc.

How can I dynamicly load colNames and colModels from a backend? My backend system is php and I want to generate a grid depending on the content that is pushed from my backend.

Thanx
