jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi,

First of, thanks for this nice plugin.

I am having some trouble though in once specific case. Here is the situation: I am developing a content plugin for Joomla, which among other things displays data as tree. I use jqGrid for this.

Now, my problem is that I have some very big trees to load, some of which are 15000 entries big.

My question: how can I load them efficiently? Is there some kind of lazy loading ?

At the moment, I pass all my entries as a json string to the frontend. Even for the bigger trees, this is no problem.

However, when I feed that string (using datatype: 'jsonstring' and datastr: myJsonString) to the jqGrid, I only see the two first levels of the tree (and this is a tree that goes as deep as 12 levels). I cannot drill down into the tree.

So my question is: how can I load a tree efficiently when it is really big? Hint: as I said, I have all my tree available as json in the frontend, so an ajax query wouldn't even be necessary I guess!

Any help would really be welcomed !

Thanks
