VBO and DataTables

I would like to integrate Views Bulk Operations and DataTables together.
This would be awesome for handling large tables of data. For example to easily search for users and sign them up for an event.

Is there any way to do this?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    I know this is an old issue, but I also wanted to run a bulk operation on a set of data from a DT display. At least I assume that this issue is about that, rather than some deeper merging of functionality.

    AFAICT there is only one UI bug preventing these from working seamlessly together right now, and that is that the VBO "Check all" box on top of a table display does not work. Neither does shift-selecting a range of table rows.

    However, selecting checkboxes individually per row makes the VBO part behave just as it would with a standard table display, so there's no inherent incompatibility between the 2, just a front-end mismatch.

    Update on my comment above...

    I checked whether any different selectors are applied on the VBO checkboxes in a DT display, but doesn't look like it. And then I realised that the very first time a DT display is loaded, the select-all and shift-select works just fine. It's only after filtering the DT display that those stop working.

    My guess it's more an issue with how VBO runs these, but need to look into it more.
