Same relation to display two columns from another table

Hi,
I need to display two long texts, both in the same table, from a single relation. I mean, inside the table they are in the same row, so they have the same id.

The problem is that I don't like very much the result of this:

$crud->set_relation('caption_id', 'contents', '{italian_text} - {english_text}');

I'd prefer to display them in two different columns.
Is there any way to do this?

Hello Qarlo and sorry for the delayed answer,

For now the only way to do it is to add a custom column callback ( see http://www.google.co...RP5MN_5rsaOaYEA for more ) for the italian text for example but you have to do the query in the callback. This is the easiest (but not the right) way to do it right now.

[b]Note:[/b] At the $crud->columns you can add also columns that not exist, so for example you can add a column with name: italian_language
