  In DataTables 1.10 you can use `ajax.dataSrc` to provide a function which will perform the mapping: http://next.datatables.net/reference/option/ajax.dataSrc .
  
  In 1.9- you need to use fnServerData to provide a full Ajax function, with the `success` callback doing the mapping.

  Forgive me for being a bit ignorant, but how would I do that in my fnServerData function below?
  [code]
  "fnServerData": function( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
  var oSearch = $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  dataType: 'json',
  url: sSource,
  data: aoData
  })
  .done(function(data) {
  console.log("done");
  fnCallback(data);
  })
  .fail(function() {
  console.log("error");
  });
  }
  [/code]
  "eventList" is my table. I attempted at one point to set the iTotalRecords property in my .done method, but I wasn't sure how to reference the table object.
  
  Thanks.

  [code]
  .done(function(data) {
  console.log("done");
  var o = {};
  o.data = data.myData;
  o.draw = data.myDrawCounter;
  // ... etc
  fnCallback(o);
  })
  [/code]
