Thank you so much, i think it was a case of me going code blind, i cant believe i didn't think about that.
I've modified your suggestion a bit, i've put it in a javascript file and included it
var Toast = Swal.mixin({
toast: true,
position: 'top-end',
showConfirmButton: false,
timer: 5000
});
function loadDataTable(div,urlLink){
$(div).html("<div id='loader'><center><i class='fas fa-spinner fa-3x fa-spin -auto m-5'></i></center></div>");
$("#requests-container").load(urlLink, function(){
$("#project-requests").DataTable({
"order": [[0, "desc"]],
"responsive": true, "lengthChange": true, "autoWidth": false, "pageLength": 25,
"aLengthMenu": [[10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"]],
"buttons": ["copy", "pdf", "print", "colvis"]
}).buttons().container().appendTo("#project-requests_wrapper .col-md-6:eq(0)");
});
}
So now the call is
loadDataTable("#requests-container","'.DIR.'admin/dashboard/requests");
Basically this so so i can trigger it from anywhere and for anything on the site
Thanks again for your help
