Adding non-database items to server-side DataTable

PixelElephant

I have a DataTable that I would like some of the elements to be non-database items.

Here is my table:

[code]



Details
First Name
Last Name
Delete




[/code]

Here is my DataTable:

[code]
$(document).ready(function(){
oTable = $('#oTable').dataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": 'GetInfo.php'
});
});
[/code]

I am using the default PHP script that comes with DataTables.

I would like First Name and Last Name columns to be populated from the database (serverside) and Details and Delete columns will just have buttons in them. This seems like it should be easy to do, but I can't figure it out.

I think sDefaultContent is probably the option you want here - just put the HTML you want to use for the two columns into that and that will do it.

That didn't work but I ended up getting it to work with your example here http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/row_details.html

Thanks for DataTables - it is really awesome!
