Searchable but hidden column

Hi,

if you are familiar with css, I suggest hiding a column using css. Each column and each header has defined a css class. All you need to do is to define two new css rules in your template's css file, and hide the column and the header by using

display:none;

You can find out what is the name of the class if you click on the element with the right click and than select "Inspect Element" if you are using Chrome. There must be similar tools in other browsers. However the classnames are constructed this way:

.tableJX[id][column name]
.tableJX[id]header[column name]

where [id] is id of the grid configuration and [column name] is the column name in database

Further I suggest the usage of "Advanced Filters" option which you can find in the "Search Form" area in the backend. This gives you the ability to select which columns can be searched.

I think this would be the easiest way to achieve described functionality. Other options would have to include some source code modifications.

If "Code" is the name of the column in your database than it should be like this:

.tableJX2Code{
   display:none;
}
.tableJX2headerCode{
   display:none;
}
