*****DISCLAIMER: NEWBIE ABOARD!******* I'm trying to display a table of the database with 'edit' URL links (that point to another function) tacked on at the last column. I saw that the SQLTABLE has a linkto= option but I don't want to change the look of the link and don't want it to display as the id. I've seen this topic covered to death in this list:

I would really prefer not to start doing stuff inside the model/ database since this is merely a display issue and I don't want to clutter up my database with a new column. I also don't want to add a 'patch' as I'm worried about breaking something during upgrading down the road. Is the easiest way forward to build the table by hand doing something like this? controller: selection = db(db.table).select() view: {{for rows in selection:}} {{=rows}} {{insert custom column logic}} {{pass}} Thanks in advance for any advice.
