Set data starting from index 1

hernan84

Starting from the fact that my html table has 2 more columns than the server-side data in a way to have a first column for row number and a last one for "action" button, I want to set the first data value index=0 on my second table column target=1 therefore I wouldn't loose the first data value on my number column.

What is the good way to make this work??

PS: Hope I explained it well

Sorry I found the answer inside the server-side ajax script example: "Use a space where you want to insert a non-database field (for example a counter or static image..."

So I only had to add a ' ' value to the columns array and that's it.

[code]
$aColumns = array( ' '
, 'a'
, 'b'
, 'c'
, 'd);
[/code]

That's certainly one way of doing it - good to hear you found a solution. Another option is to use mDataProp to tell DataTables which array/object index you want the columns to use and also use sDefaultContent for cells which don't have a database field to display.
