Here is a video for installing a Codeigniter build onto Centos, that has had the Paul Zepernick server side processing Datatables library added to it, in order to make available a ready made application that shows how to use it.By default the library does not give any help for creating your own links or buttons on the rows, so I have patched it so that custom HTML can be added into each row, with the row id then being applied to any placeholders that are added.
