Display summaryRow without using sortBy

[BeliSpricer]

I'm using summaryRow to display data under some columns of a dataTable and it's not visible unless I specify the sortBy attribute in the dataTable or sort the table by clicking on a column header.
My problem is the fact that the column specified in sortBy has a highlighted header when the page loads, however I still want them to be highlighted when a user clicks on them for sorting.

So my question is: Is it possible to display a summayRow without sorting the dataTable.

Thank you for your time

I'd think it should just work, but without version info an a MCVE (use google) it is hard to tell. See also the 'please, please read me topic'

My versions are as follows: PrimeFaces 7.0, Mojarra 2.2.7, GlassFish 4.1.

This is the custom tag definition I use for displaying the PF dataTable, but simplified to make it easier to understand (Columns are normally inserted with JSF Facelets). Tell me if making a plainer example would be preferable for you.

Code: Select all

start by not using a tag lib, no c:set, no omnifaces etc...

[BeliSpricer]

Tried using this, still no luck.

Code: Select all

<p:dataTable id="id"
                 var="item" 
                 value="#{blockView.dataModel}"
                 selection="#{blockView.rowSelected}"
                 emptyMessage=""
                 reflow="true"
                 editable="false"
                 selectionMode="single"
                 rows="10"
                 paginator="true"
                 paginatorPosition="bottom"
                 draggableColumns="true"
                 multiViewState="true"
                 lazy="true" 
                 scrollable="#{true}">

        <p:column sortable="true"
                  sortBy="#{item.partner}">
            <h:outputText id="COL-PARTNER"
                          value="#{item.partner}" />
        </p:column>
        <p:column sortable="true"
                  sortBy="#{item.val}">
            <h:outputText id="COL-VAL"
                          value="#{item.val}" />
        </p:column>
        <p:column sortable="true"
                  sortBy="#{item.esd}">
            <h:outputText id="COL-EAD"
                          value="#{item.esd}" />
        </p:column>

        <p:summaryRow>
            <!-- this column is here so dataTable works correctly with draggableColumns -->
            <p:column style="visibility: hidden;"/>

            <p:column style="text-align: right">
                <h:outputText id="SUM-VAL"
                              value="#{blockView.summary['valSum']}" />
            </p:column>
            <p:column style="text-align: right">
                <h:outputText id="SUM-ESD"
                              value="#{blockView.summary['esdSum']}" />
            </p:column>

        </p:summaryRow>

    </p:dataTable>

So it works if you remove the 'draggableColums' ? Or other attributes?

[BeliSpricer]

Yes, it's the same with minimal attributes. And I've just realised i have misunderstood the way summaryRow works, as it groups rows based on the sorted column (I need a single row on the bottom of the table regardless of sorting). I guess I'll need to look into another solution.

Thank you for the help, much appreciated.
Best regards.

[kukeltje]

Ok, but please remember the steps to reducs as much of the code as possible while at the same time still be able to reproduce the problem... And only post those pieces of code
