Yadcf filter with highlighted tag inside column

Question

I have a table (using the datatables framework) that is contained in a column tag. I mean, the contents of these columns are as follows:

<td> <select class="form-control attendance_select" data-id_player="130"> <option value="-1">No</option> <option value="0" selected="">No answer</option> <option value="1">Yes</option> </select> </td> 

When I use the yadcf column filter and try to search only the columns with “Yes” as the selected options in this select, this does not work because each row contains “Yes” in the html code.

Can you help me how to install yadcf to solve this problem, if possible?

thanks

You probably need to define the filter type "custom_func" and specify the function of the custom filter for your column.

From the embedded documents: (reformatted explanation)

custom_func

Required: true when filter_type is custom_func
Type: function
Default value: undefined
Description: must point to a function with the following signature

 function myCustomFilterFunction(filterVal, columnVal, rowValues, stateVal) { } 

where filterVal : this is the value from the select box,
columnVal - the value from the corresponding column of the row,
rowValues is an array that contains the values ​​of the whole row and
stateVal that contains the current state of the row of the DOM table
, stateVal is ideal for handling situations in which you place radio buttons / checkbox inside a table column (should be suitable for your select case.

This function should return true if the string matches your condition and the string should be displayed) and false otherwise.
