I suspect the biggest issue here is the fact that the number of columns between your data source (in your controller) and the number of columns in your end table (in your view), do not match. You're trying to put data for 8 columns into a 7 column table. Out of curiosity, have you tried adding an extra column to your HTML table in your view? Sometimes the simplest solution works out best in the end.

Unfortunately though, DataTables itself doesn't support dynamically adding columns, this question has been asked many times on the DT forum in the past. Digging through these questions again this morning, I found a link to a tutorial that looks like it does exactly what you're asking for [link].

Otherwise, have you considered using something like the drill-down rows example, placing the 'user specific functions' in the row that shows up below the clicked row? This way, the data is added dynamically to the row before it's displayed, and the row is destroyed after it's hidden. It's very easy to use and very efficient as well.

This is giving me ideas for another project I'm working on now.. Time to go play. (:
