*
*
*
*
* External API functions:
*
*
* -------------

* exFilterColumn
				Description:		Allows to trigger filter/s externally/programmatically (support ALL filter types!!!) , perfect for showing table with pre filtered columns
				Arguments:			table_arg: (variable of the datatable),
									array of pairs: column number String/Object with from and to, filter_value (the actual string value that we want to filter by)
				Usage example:		yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, 'Some Data 2']]); //pre filter one column
									yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, 'Some Data 1'], [1, {from: 111, to: 1110}], [2, {from: "", to: "11/25/2014"}]]); //pre filter several columns
									yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, ['Some Data 1','Some Data 2']]]); // for pre filtering multi select filter you should use array with values (or an array with single value)

* exGetColumnFilterVal
				Description:		Allows to retrieve  column current filtered value (support ALL filter types!!!)
				Arguments:			table_arg: (variable of the datatable),
									column number:  column number from which we want the value
				Usage example:		yadcf.exGetColumnFilterVal(oTable,1);
				Return value:		String (for simple filter) / Object (for range filter) with from and to properties / Array of strings for multi_select filter


* exResetAllFilters
				Description:		Allows to reset all filters externally/programmatically (support ALL filter types!!!) , perfect for adding a "reset all" button to your page!
				Arguments:			table_arg: (variable of the datatable)
									noRedraw:	(boolean) , use it if you don't want your table to be reloaded after the filter reset,
												for example if you planning to call exFilterColumn function right after the exResetAllFilters (to avoid two AJAX requests)
				Usage example:		yadcf.exResetAllFilters(oTable);

* exResetFilters
				Description:		Allows to reset specific filters externally/programmatically (support ALL filter types!!!) , can be used for resetting one or more filters
				Arguments:			table_arg: (variable of the datatable)
									array with columns numbers
				Usage example:		yadcf.exResetAllFilters(oTable, [1,2]);

* initSelectPluginCustomTriggers
				Description:		Allows to set any select jquery plugin initialize and refresh functions. jQuery selector will be passed to the user defined function to initialize and refresh the plugin.
									Great for integrating any jquey select plugin  (Selectize / MultiSelect / etc)
				Arguments:			initFunc  : function which will initialize the plugin
									refreshFunc : function that will refresh the plugin.
				Usage example:		yadcf.initSelectPluginCustomTriggers(function($filterSelector){$filterSelector.multiselect({});}, function($filterSelector){$filterSelector.multiselect("refresh")});

* exFilterExternallyTriggered
				Description:		Triggers all the available filters, should be used only when the externally_triggered option used
				Arguments:			table_arg: (variable of the datatable)
				Usage example:		yadcf.exResetAllFilters(table_arg);
*
*
*
* Server-side processing API (see more on showcase):
*
* From server to client:
* In order to populate the filters with data from server (select / auto_complete / range_number_slider (min and max values), you should add to your current json respond the following properties:
* lets say for first column you add yadcf_data_0 filled with array of values, for column second column yadcf_data_1 and so on...
*
* From client to server:
* Read the filtered value like this (for first column) req.getParameter("columns[0][search][value]"); <- java code , php/.Net/etc you just need to get it from the request
* Range filter value will arrive delimited by  -yadcf_delim- , so just split it into an array or something like this: String[] minMax = sSearch_0.split("-yadcf_delim-");
*
*
* Filters position
*
*
* -------------

* Filters can be placed in the header (thead) or in the footer (tfoot) , it is defined by the second argument of yadcf constructor
  or third argument of init function. Header location is the default position, use 'footer' in order to place the filters in the tfoot position


*
*
*
* Working with filters for multiple tables:
*
*
* -------------

* initMultipleTables
				Description:		Allows to create filter that will affect multiple tables / multiple column(s) in multiple tables
				Arguments:			Array of tables,
									Array of objects with properties for each filter
				Usage example:		yadcf.initMultipleTables([oTable, oTable2], [{
										column_number: [0, 1], filter_container_id: 'multi-table-filter-0', filter_default_label: 'Filter all tables columns 1 and 2!'
									},
									{
										column_number: [2], filter_container_id: 'multi-table-filter-1', filter_default_label: 'Filter all tables column 3!'
									}]);
				Valid properties:	filter_type: 'text' (default) / 'select' / 'multi_select',
									column_number: not required (in that case the filter will be global)
												   can be either number(single column filter) or array of numbers(multiple columns filter)
									filter_container_id: '' (required),
				Note:				All the usual properties of yadcf should be supported in initMultipleTables too!

* initMultipleColumns
				Description:		Allows to create filter that will affect multiple column(s) in in a particular table
				Arguments:			Table variable,
									Array of objects with properties for each filter
				Usage example:		yadcf.initMultipleColumns(oTable, [{
										column_number: [0, 1], filter_container_id: 'multi-table-filter-0', filter_default_label: 'Filter columns 1 and 2!'
									},
									{
										column_number: [2, 3], filter_container_id: 'multi-table-filter-1', filter_default_label: 'Filter column 3 and 4!'
									}]);
				Valid properties:	filter_type: 'text' (default) / 'select' / 'multi_select',
									column_number: not required (in that case the filter will be global)
												   can be either number(single column filter) or array of numbers(multiple columns filter)
									filter_container_id: '' (required),
				Note:				All the usual properties of yadcf should be supported in initMultipleColumns too!
