Can't show plus icon to show a hidden column as child

Pliachas Paschalis

following conversations i found in blog, and using this one:
http://live.datatables.net/wozojore/738/edit
i tried to make a page:
http://mps-roditi-com.stackstaging.com/announcements/ForTest.html
showing only two columns instead of three. The idea is to show the third one using plus sign as a child.
i used

responsive: true,
            ajax: '../mpsDatatables/php/table.announcements.php',
            columns: [{
                    "data": "ptitle"
                },
                {
                    "data": "pmessage",
                    visible: false,
                    className: 'none'
                },
                {
                    "data": "pdate"
                }
            ],

but it's not working.
Am i missing something?
Thanks in advance

Remove visible: false,. In Responsive 2, that means it will be hidden in the Responsive view as well.

Thanks for your response. I removed the

visible: false,

i see now the 'pmessage' column, but the idea was to use the plus sign to work as expansion, so the user should see the 'ptitle' and 'pdate' column in the table and using the plus sign he could see the 'pmessage' column as a new row, because this column had a lot of string.

Are you looking to use responsive to hide columns or something like this example?

I found that and i found also responsive. So i didn't took a decision to choose what could do the job best.
