MenuButton within a DataTable Column

[dave.everson]

Hi,

We are trying to place a MenuButton within a PrimeFaces DataTable. It does not appear to be working. The DataTable does have ajax selection enabled.

We are curious if the MenuButton should be functional within a DataTable?

Code: Select all

<p:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
	<h:outputText value="Action" />
     </f:facet>
     <p:menuButton value="Actions">
	<p:menuitem value="Go Home" url="http://www.primefaces.org" target="_blank" /> 
	<p:menuitem value="Go Elsewhere" url="http://www.cnn.com" target="_blank" /> 
    </p:menuButton>
</p:column>

Hi Dave,

Do you have paging enabled?

[dave.everson]

No. We have since added paging to the table - still have the issue.

This might be related to executing scripts in datatable columns, we need to look into this.

Hello,

Is there a work-around for this issue? Surround it with an <a /> tag that shows the menu doesn't seem to work...is the bug a matter of event propogation?

Thanks,
Zack

This should work with 2.2.M1.

It still didn't seem to work with the latest snapshot.

And what exactly do you mean by not work?

when you have a menu button in a datatable, it always shows the menu on the last button of the datatable, even if you click the button in the 1st row

another nice addition would be to allow submenu items
