Sort functionality in custom Grid headers

[Ollie Glass <ol...@peerindex.com>]

Hello,

I need to customise the header text on a Tapestry Grid column. This code does just that, but it removes the sort functionality:

<table class="table table-striped" t:type="grid" t:source="data" t:rowsPerPage="50" t:pagerPosition="bottom">

    <p:specialHeader>Custom header</p:specialHeader>

</table>

How can I restore the sort functionality to this custom header?

Thanks,

Ollie

Sorry, should have added that when I do this, the sorting is lost.

Removing the text from the header, like this, just results in an empty title (although the tooltip component is shown).

  <p:specialHeader>
	<t:tooltip tip="tipData"></t:tooltip>
  </p:specialHeader>

I'd like the component, title and sorting to all appear.


Thanks,

Ollie

That's a bit more difficult. By providing a header block, you are
overriding the default header which contains the sorting logic.

I see 2 options:

1. Include the sort link / image in your custom header block (see
GridColumns component for inspiration)

2. Decorate the default header with a mixin. The mixin adds the tooltip to
the dom after the grid has rendered it's markup.

Thank you, that works.

Is it possible to put a custom component into the header too, like this:

  <p:specialHeader>Custom header
	<t:tooltip tip="tipData"></t:tooltip>
  </p:specialHeader>

Best,

Ollie

Put your header labels in a messages prop file with key propertyName-label
