Cannot make editor work

Cannot make editor work

Hi!
I'm trying to set up Editor to work with datatables for my second website, but unlike on the first page, it didn't work right away.
This is my current setup:

editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
    ajax: "<?=Uri::create('administrator/guests/manage_stays/'.$guest['id'])?>",
    table: "#guest_stays-data_table",
    fields: [
        {
            label: "ID",
            name: "id",
            type: "hidden"
        },
        {
            label: "Od:",
            name: "from_date",
            type: "date",
            def: function () { return new Date(); },
            dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy'
        },
        {
            label: "Do:",
            name: "to_date",
            type: "date",
            def: function () { var tomorrow = new Date(); tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 3); return tomorrow},
            dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy'
        },
        {
            label: "Do magistrátovej knihy?:",
            name: "town_book",
            type: "text",
        },
        {
            label: "Kategória:",
            name: "town_book_category_id",
            type: "text",
        }
    ]
});

$('#order_spares-data_table').dataTable( {
    ajax: "<?=Uri::create('administrator/guests/stays/'.$guest['id'])?>",
    dom: "Tfrtip",
    columns: [
        {
            data: "id"
        },
        {
            data: "from_date"
        },
        {
            data: "to_date"
        },
        {
            data: "town_book"
        },
        {
            data: "town_book_category_id"
        }
    ],
    "tableTools": {
        sRowSelect: "os",
        aButtons: [
            { sExtends: "editor_create", editor: editor },
            { sExtends: "editor_edit",   editor: editor },
            { sExtends: "editor_remove", editor: editor }
        ]
    }
});

This is an example server response for table data: http://pastebin.com/Lg2xnmCR.
The loading works fine, as well as the DataTables plugin itself, but I cannot get the editing up and working. When trying to delete a row I get following error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null. When trying to edit Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined and when creating something, I get: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'oFeatures' of undefined after server (successfully) responds.
What could be wrong?

    Unfortunately the PasteBin appears to have been removed, so I can't see what is being used there. Could you post it back up please? Also, can you show me the PHP code you are using?

    Thanks,
    Allan

    Thanks - I don't see your PHP code as well, but I would imagine that you have a field called id as well as the primary key also being id. I would suggest that you remove the field called id and just use the primary key (DT_RowId). Also remove the id from the Editor initialisation - you really don't want that to be editable :-)

    removing the id key results in new error message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'from_date' of undefined

    Are you able to link me to the page you are working on please? I don't immediately see what would be causing the problem.

    Thanks,
    Allan

    Thanks for the link. Could you try updating your DataTables to 1.10.4, the current release please. The page is currently using 1.10.2.

    Thanks,
    Allan

    Ok, I updated the DataTables, but still no change.

    Thanks for checking that - always a good starting place to have the latest software :-).

    It isn't working because of this line in your Editor initialisation:

    table: "#guest_stays-data_table",

    There is no such table on the page. I think you want #order_spares-data_table.
