TableTools collection buttons do not function

[stevelippert]

Given the following DataTables init I'm unable to click all of the options in the collection.

    var tableContainer = $(".dataTables");
    tableContainer.dataTable({
            "bPaginate"     : false,
            "bAutoWidth"    : false,
        "fnPreDrawCallback": function () {
            if (!responsiveHelper) {
                responsiveHelper = new ResponsiveDatatablesHelper(tableContainer, breakpointDefinition);
            }
        },
        "fnRowCallback": function (nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
            responsiveHelper.createExpandIcon(nRow);
        },
        "fnDrawCallback": function (oSettings) {
            responsiveHelper.respond();
        },
        "sDom"          : 'T<"clear"><"top"plf<"clear">>rt<"bottom"ipl<"clear">>',
            "oLanguage"     : {
            "sEmptyTable"   : "There are currently no students registered for this course.",
            "sLengthMenu"   : "Show: _MENU_",
            "sSearch"       : "Filter:",
            "sZeroRecords"  : "There are currently no students registered for this course."
            },
        "aoColumns"     :[
            {
                "sType"         :"title-string",
                "sWidth"        :"175px"
            },
            { "sWidth"          : "140px"   },
            { "sWidth"          : "75px"    },
            { "sWidth"          : "300px"   },
            { "sWidth"          : "100px"    },
            { "sWidth"          : "70px"    },
            { "sWidth"          : "200px"   },
            { "sWidth"          : "250px"   },
            { "sWidth"          : "175px"   }
        ],
        "aaSorting"     : [ [0,"asc"] ],
        "bAutoWidth"    : false,
        "oTableTools"   : {
            "aButtons"          : [
                {
                    "sExtends"  : "collection",
                    "sButtonText": "Export Student List <span class='caret' />",
                    "sButtonClass": "btn btn-default",
                    "aButtons"  : [
                        "csv",
                        "xls",
                        "pdf",
                        "print"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "sSwfPath"  : "/codeExtra/datatables/1.9.4/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
        }
        });

Hovering over "CSV" activates "PDF" (as shown above), and will produce a PDF file. Attempting to use Excel and PDF do not work at all. Hovering over Print, it does not go active. Also the warning modal for print does not appear as expected.

Hello @stevelippert,

I have same issue. But one good thing is that after using your code I am able to properly display collection buttons for Export functionality.

Still issue stays that CSV, Excel, PDF are not working in Collection case.

Does anybody has solution?
