JSremoting with PageBlockTableEnhancer Only Displays ID as Text Instead of Lookup

Hi everyone. I used PageBlockTableEnhancer to show my records from an object. The problem is I can't list more than 1k records due to limits so I searched and found that you can with JSremoting from here @http://blogforce9.blogspot.com/2014/10/showing-more-than-1k-records-using-pbe.html . I was able to display 1.4k records successfully but I noticed that lookup data is only shown as ID and is just considered text. Is there a workaround for it to behave the same as without using JSremoting? The lookup data shows fine with just PageBlockTableEnhancer.

Keshin, have you tried pulling the name field of the lookup record from the soql query via a relationship query.  For instance if the related object in your example was called Platform__c the query could look like the following

SELECT Id, Name, Platform__c, Platform__r.Name FROM Object__c

Platform__c would return the 18 character Id and Platform__r.Name would return the name of the actual related lookup record.

@Terence_Chiu..I already tried it but I get this message

Uncaught Type Error: Cannot read property "Name" of null

anyone have suggestions/ideas?

I encountered similiar issues where relationship queries did not work with visualforce remote objects. A workaround I did was to create a text formula field that would pull the field value from the related record. So instead of querying for the related object field I queried for the custom formula field that will have the Name of related record.
