Rendering multiple columns differently when using server-side processing

Rendering multiple columns differently when using server-side processing

I just starting to get to grips with this brilliant tool.

I'm using server-side processing to display around 3,000 records from MySQL using the server-side PHP script supplied. So far, so good -- it's working as expected.

I now need to add some column rendering to multiple columns: add links, images and checkboxes.

I've managed to render an ID column as a link -- but that leads to my questions...

1. What's the best method to specify different rendering for different columns.
2. Once a column has been rendered -- referring to that data again returns the rendered column, not the original data. I need to use the ID again in other columns -- how can I do this.

Hope this makes sense and that somebody can help.

Thanks
Mat
