I recently started trying to use the idPrefix option for grids to avoid duplicate row IDs, but I found that it breaks the predefined showlink formatter, since the prefix isn't stripped off of the ID before being appended to the URL. (For example, if I have a row with ID 3 and an idPrefix of 'Event_', the url gets "id=Event_3" appended to it, instead of the desired "id=3".) Does anyone have a solution (or even a temporary workaround) for this issue?

Thanks for getting to this so quickly, Tony. I had one other question (which I supppose is more of a feature request than a bug, if it's not already possible): Is there any way to pass a data/column value other than the row ID with the showLink formatter, or would I need to create a custom formatter for that?

Hello,
Correction - sorry. You will need to use a custom formatter in your case.

@Inara: You can use dynamicLink formatter if you want. See the answer and this one for the code examples. If you would include jQuery.jqGrid.dynamicLink.js file (which you can download from github) after jqGrid JavaScript files you can use formatter: "dynamicLink". So the usage of the formatter dynamicLink is exactly so simple as the usage of any predefined formatter like formatter: "showlink".
@Tony: If you want you can add the formatter to the code of jqGrid.
Best regards

Thanks, Oleg. I'll definitely look into your plugin; it looks like it may be exactly what I need. I appreciate both of your responses.

I just ran across one further issue with the idPrefix option: The getDataIDs method has no option for excluding the prefix. It's not the end of the world, since I can write a manual workaround each time I call getDataIDs, but it's still an easy way to get tripped up in coding. Would it be possible to add a parameter to the getDataIDs function to get the IDs back sans prefix (or just make that the default, if there are no real use-case scenarios for including the prefix)?
EDIT: After experimenting more, I found that this issue is actually more of a general problem with all of the grid methods relating to row IDs. Most of them still expect to receive the row ID including the prefix for a parameter, and return the row ID including prefix as a result (where applicable). I can still write workarounds where necessary, but it makes the idPrefix attribute difficult to work with if you're building anything other than a very basic grid.
Thanks,
Inara
