Hi @bechirmrad ,

They can be changed, but you would need to change the dependant scripts, such as ssp.class.php. I would suggest getting it working first, then changing if there's a need, at least then you're tackling one unknown at a time.

Cheers,

These represent the DataTable mapping for the column header and your database column, where 'db' (an associative array key) holds the string representation of your database column and 'dt' (another associative array key) is the index number of DataTables internal column index.

Example:
array('db' => 'id', 'dt' => 0)

It depends on the script if you need those array keys to get the appropriate values. That's your choice.
