I needed an easy way to enable TableTools when displaying tables with theme_datatable().
You have to apply the patch attached in the issue: (#1029592: Cannot unset string offsets) to be able to use this.

You have to set bTableTools => TRUE in the datatable_options section of the attributes array to turn on TableTools.

  $attributes = array(
    'datatable_options' => array(
      'bFilter'   => TRUE, // Disable filtering of data.
      'bInfo'     => TRUE, // Show the table information display.
      'bTableTools' => TRUE,
    )
  );
  $content['table'] = array(
    '#theme' => 'datatable',
    '#header' => $header,
    '#rows' => $rows,
    '#attributes' => $attributes,
  );

Some of the paths to the css and js files have changed since this patch was made. I've revised it and also set the bTableTools to TRUE so it doesn't need to be done separately.

So to get TableTools working once you have DataTables working, all you should need to do is apply this patch.

I have tried enabling tabletools but nothing shows up on my view. I have tabletools at all/libraries/datatables/extras/TableTools/

Is this right?

Figured it out. Was using libraries instead of module path.

Ahh, good catch. The patch was assuming library existed in module path, not libraries. Needs some work to account for libraries.
