DataTables API for Elgg
DataTables integration on Elgg. This plugin offers an API which can be used from other plugins on Elgg platforms in order to populate information in data tables.
DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, based upon the foundations of progressive enhancement and offers advanced interaction controls to any HTML table.
The plugin for Elgg offers the following options:
- Create a simple DataTable by loading all records (not suggested for large data set).

- Add export buttons such as copy, csv, pdf and print, if enabled in settings.
As a usage example you can see the Elgg Entity Lists which uses the datatables_api plugin for generating lists of Elgg entities.
