Grid Configuration Format

It's possible to make columns filterable by using the "Grid Configuration" option. This field expects a JSON object with key/value pairs. There are two options to make a set of columns configurable, an array containing the names of the columns to be filtered:

{
"filterable": ["customer_group", "region"]
}

Or an object with key/value pairs of the column name and Magento admin block type. It is important that this be a valid block type otherwise the grid will fail to render.

{
"filterable": {"created_at_date": "adminhtml/widget_grid_column_filter_date"}
}

Here is a list of common filter block types:

• adminhtml/widget_grid_column_filter_datetime
• adminhtml/widget_grid_column_filter_date
• adminhtml/widget_grid_column_filter_range
• adminhtml/widget_grid_column_filter_country

More can be found in app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Grid/Column.php within the _getFilterByType method.

You can also create clickable row values, and hide columns. Example;

{  
   "clickable":{  
      "order_id":{  
         "*/sales_order/view/order_id":"order_id"
      },
      "sku":{  
         "*/catalog_product/edit/id":"product_id"
      }
   },
   "hidden":{  
      "product_id":true
   }
}

Changed it on July 24 from OSL to this license because there was a company that started distributing it in a way that didn't seem kosher. If you're legitimately interested in commercially redistributing it, I'd probably be fine with that - just get in touch.
