Hello,

it's normal, escapeColumn is for escaping columns, so it's escaped.

[AbuHamdah]

But, what I should do, to return HTML element?
Thank you for your response

[lk77]

you can use rawColumns(['link'])

[AbuHamdah]

I used it, this same problem appeared

[lk77]

try to use version 7.9.5, it's working for me, perhaps it's a recent bug.

edit :
i think i found the bug, there is a array_diif_key inside escapeColumns in DataProcessor
try ['link' => true] or something like that.

[AbuHamdah]

I used the last version of datatables laravel,
I tried also ['link' => true] but not working ,
Must i upgrade laravel version to 5.4 ?

[lk77]

i don't think it will solve your issue

[AbuHamdah]

What should I do in your opinion?

[lk77]

you tried escapeColumns(['link' => true) or rawColumns(['link' => true]) ?

[AbuHamdah]

Yes, it is.

[lk77]

i mean which one you tested ?
you could try escapeColumns([]) as well.

[AbuHamdah]

I tested them both

[lk77]

escapeColumns([]) should disable escaping on all columns as a workaround

[AbuHamdah]

I tried all solutions but nothing be changed

[lk77]

and escapeColumns(null) ?

[AbuHamdah]

Same problem,
I have question, why the action column return HTML but the link not?

[lk77]

it should work i don't understand.
you removed all the escapeColumns calls ?

[AbuHamdah]

How can i remove all escapeColumns calls? and why?

[lk77]

inside your code i mean,
because if your doing rawColumns
and next do the opposite with escapeColumns somewhere else in your code.

[AbuHamdah]

My code now is
return Datatables::of($row)
->addColumn('link', 'Html Column
')
->addColumn('action', 'Html Column
')
->escapeColumns(null)
->make(true);

[lk77]

try ->escapeColumns('') instead, but an empty array should work aswell i don't undestand.

[AbuHamdah]

Same problem, I also don't understand why the action work probably but the link no

[lk77]

the action work because it's not escaped by default

[AbuHamdah]

Thank you for your effort,

[AbuHamdah]

There is any way to find a solution ?

[yajra]

Have released a patch v7.9.8. Can you please verify if it fixes the issue? Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

[AbuHamdah]

How I can upgrade to the last release?

[lk77]

i think you should try :

[
    'link' => 'link'
];

the latest release does not fix this issue, for me.

if i do :

->escapeColumns(['action' => 'action'])
->rawColumns(['action'])

the action column is escaped, and if i do :

->escapeColumns(['action' => 'action'])
->rawColumns(['action => 'action'])

the column is not escaped anymore.

[AbuHamdah]

How i can update my version to 7.9.8

[lk77]

you can change your composer.json and set yajra/laravel-datatables to 7.9.8
and then do composer update yajra/laravel-datatables

or you can do composer require yajra/laravel-datatables 7.9.8 directly, it will change your composer.json and update the package

[AbuHamdah]

Ok, I'll try it
Thank you

[AbuHamdah]

Finally, it works,
Thank you Yajre and IK77
i used escapeColumn['link'] in last version it working probably

[robiparvez]

for versions above 8, u have to go to config/datatables.php file....and add your column name in ....raw => ['name_of your_column']
