free fork of jqGrid

======

jqGrid is a popular jQuery Plugin for displaying and editing data in tabular form. It has some other more sophisticated features, like subgrids, TreeGrids, grouping and so on.

jqGrid was developed mostly by Tony Tomov in the past and it was available under MIT/GPL-licenses till the version 4.7.0 published Dec 8, 2014 (see here). Short time after that the license agreement was changed (see here) and new 4.7.1 version was published.

The code from the GitHib repository is the fork of jqGrid 4.7.0 - the latest version available under MIT/GPL-licenses. It will be provided under MIT/GPL-licenses.

Below you can find short description of new features and bug fixes implemented in free jqGrid 4.13.0 (compared with version 4.12.1). The version is developed by Oleg Kiriljuk, alias Oleg on the stackoverflow and OlegK on trirand forum.

Read Wiki for more detailed information about the features of free-jqGrid. The preliminary version of the documentation can be found here.

Free jqGrid can be used for free. We still ask to contribute the development by donating via PayPal, if one have the possibility for it. One can donate by clicking on the following button PayPayl donate button or by sending money via PayPal to oleg.kiriljuk@ok-soft-gmbh.com with the comment "free jqGrid". Bank transfer based on the invoice from OK soft GmbH is another option of donating. Just send the email with the information about the amount of donation and you will get the corresponding invoice with the full information about our bank account and our VAT number.

One can install the package with respect of bower by using "bower install free-jqgrid", with respect of npm by using "npm install free-jqgrid" or from NuGet by using "Install-Package free-jqGrid".

Free jqGrid is published on cdnjs and jsDelivr CDN. Thus one can use it directly from Internet by including for example the URLs like

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/css/ui.jqgrid.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/js/i18n/grid.locale-de.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/js/jquery.jqgrid.min.js"></script>

or

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/css/ui.jqgrid.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/js/i18n/grid.locale-de.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/free-jqgrid/4.13.0/js/jquery.jqgrid.min.js"></script>

The locale file is optional. One can, but one don't need to include grid.locale-en.min.js, becusue the same information is already included in jquery.jqgrid.min.js.

If somebody want to test the latest version of free jqGrid, one can load it directly from GitHib using RawGit service:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawgit.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/master/css/ui.jqgrid.css">
<script src="https://rawgit.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/master/js/i18n/grid.locale-de.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/master/js/jquery.jqgrid.src.js"></script>

All other language files and plugins are available from CDN too. See the wiki article for more details about the usage of free jqGrid from CDNs and RawGit.

The package is published on WebJars and it's deployed on Maven Central too.

Remark: the above URLs will be available after publishing the release of the version of 4.13.0.

Main new features and improvements implemented in the version 4.13.0.

  • Free jqGrid can be used now without jQuery UI CSS, only with Bootstrap CSS and optional Font Awesome. One need just add guiStyle: "bootstrap" or guiStyle: "bootstrapPrimary" to existing grid.
  • New iconSet: "glyph" is supported now. It allows to use only Bootstrap CSS without Font Awesome.
  • One can customize the iconSet now more easy by usage of baseIconSet property.
  • The CSS settings of jqGrid are changed a little because of including support of Bootstrap CSS. As the results some width of columns and some other CSS setting could be changed a little. If you created the grids, which uses every pixel of the results exactly, then you could have to make some changes of the width and height values after upgrade to free jqGrid 4.13.0.
  • Some minor changes are made in $.jgrid.viewModal. Such changes can produces compatibility problems with the old code. It could be important only if you call the method directly in your code. In the case one should add .call(gridDOM, ... to the call of $.jgrid.viewModal to initialize this of $.jgrid.viewModal to the DOM element of the grid.

Some demos could be helpful for understanding how guiStyle: "bootstrap", guiStyle: "bootstrapPrimary" and iconSet can be used:

The below is the full list of changes in the version 4.13.0 compared with 4.12.1.

Remark: The list below doesn’t include temporary changes and fixes, which are not important for the final state of the version 4.13.0.

  • New baseIconSet property can be used in the definition of new iconSet in $.jgrid.icons. It allows easy to define new iconSet by modifying of some settings of existing iconSet (currently "jQueryUI", "fontAwesome" and "glyph"). In the same way the new guiStyles can be defined using baseGuiStyle property. The definition of the guiStyle bootstrapPrimary reference the setting of bootstrap and just overwrite some properties.
  • Some old and unused files are removed from GitHub repository. Gradle is not more used for the build process.
  • Unifications of checkbox formatters and templates. There are exist now only one formatter: "checkbox" and template: "booleanCheckbox". The old formatter: "checkboxFontAwesome4" and template: "booleanCheckboxFa" are still supported, but contain just the reference to the implementation of formatter: "checkbox" and template: "booleanCheckbox".
  • Including new methods isBootstrapGuiStyle and isBootstrapGuiStyle used internally to detect the guiStyle and the iconSet.
  • Include support of the third iconSet: glyphicons. One can now include Bootstrap CSS and to use iconSet: "glyph".
  • Some renaming of internal variables in the code to prevent the usage of the names defined in outer scope.
  • Fix the usage of correct font of Alert dialog. It is now based on the guiStyle settings.
  • Drop $.jgrid.parse setting and use always $.parseJSON to parse JSON data.
  • Drop code fragment for IE7 and jQuery versions less the 1.6.
  • Bug fix: remove unneeded trimming of value of <select> of the searching toolbar created by stype:"select".
  • Fix closing of Modal dialogs in case of click of right mouse button on the "Close" button of the dialog title.
  • Saving of the last position of Add/Edit dialog is removed from free jqGrid. The problem was incorrect restoring of the position in more complex CSS scenarios. The problem exist in advanced scenarios or in case of different combination of other dialog parameters (toTop, overlay, ..,). For example, if jqGrid is created inside of jQuery UI dialog or inside of inside of complex Bootstrap structurs or just inside of the hirarchy of parents of jqGrid which contains mix values of position settings (position: absolute, position: relative, ...) then the calculation of position is very complex. Between of two opening of the Edit dialog the position of the parents (jQuery UI Dialog, which contains the grid) of the grid could be changed and the old position could be outside of visible area. There are too many aspects and the simple saving of previos position become really complex. Because of the complexity and many bug reports in the past the new versions of free jqGrid dropped the feature. One can still use onClose and afterShowForm callbacks to implement the feature in more simple scenario.
  • Bug fix of processing of Enter key in navGrid. The old code produced incorrect results in View dialog on pressing Enter key.
  • Bug fix of addRowData by usage of array of data as the input.
  • Updated Catalan and Spanish translations: grid.locale-ca.js and grid.locale-es.js.
  • Reorganize many parts of code and internal structures of jqGrid to support new guiStyle: "bootstrap" option, which allows to format jqGrid using CSS classes of Bootstrap.
  • CSS structure of buttons of navigator, pager and formatter: "actions" is changed. The old "dancing" of buttons on hovering is not exist more (the "dancing" was before in case of zooming the page to any value exepting 100%, 200% and so on).
  • The bug with placing duplicates of rowids in selarrrow, in case of usage multiPageSelection: true, multiselect: true and clicking on "Select All" button, is fixed.
  • The bug with sorting of local grid filled without id values is fixed.
  • Resizable icon used with Font Awesome to resize the dialog is changed. Not one uses vector icon from Font Awesome.
  • The $.jgrid.viewModal is changed. It has to be called with this initialized to DOM of grid. The code which uses the methods directrly have to be changed to intialize this to the DOM of the grid.
  • Default value of cols for edittype: "textarea" is changed from 20 to 19 because of increasing the margin and padding values in the Add/Edit dialog.
  • Remove chaching of some jqGrid methods ($.jgrid.viewModal, $.jgrid.hideModal, $.jgrid.createModal and $.jgrid.info_dialog) from form editing module (grid.formedit.js). It allows to ovewrite (to subclass) the methods.
  • Fix localData property of afterSetRow callback.
  • Update Polish translation grid.locale-pl.js.
  • Improve the usage of beforeSubmit and afterSubmit callbacks of form editing. Old versions of the callbackes required that the methods return results as an array. If, for example, one forgets to return the value in the required format it produed unhandled exception. The new changes test the results of beforeSubmit and afterSubmit callbacks and continues the standard processing.
  • Improve performance of showHideCol, hideCol, showCol and columnChooser. New additional parameter of showHideCol, hideCol and showCol methods is object with three Boolean properties skipSetGroupHeaders, skipFeedback, skipSetGridWidth. Specifying of true values for any from the properties force skipping of the corresponding parts of showHideCol code. The usage of the options is very helpful in case of sequensial multipe calles, for example from columnChooser. Skipping of unneeded actions in the intermediate calls improves the performance and holds the same final results.
  • Bug fix createEl (existing in versions starting with the version 4.9.2) in parsing of option value of edittype: "select".
