title: Changing the footer of DataTables
body: <p>I'm trying to change the footer of dataTables to be a custom defined one. Instead of <code>"Showing x to y of z entries."</code> I want it to show <code>"Showing x to y of (my own value) entries."</code> DataTables bases the entry count off of the number of rows in the table, but I want it to show a count of entries in a database.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $('#' + table_name).dataTable({
        "oLanguage": {
          "sInfo": "Showing blah to blah of my_own_number entries."
        }
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Though, I'm getting this error:</p>
  
  <p><code>Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'aaSorting' of null</code></p>
  
  <p>Instead of using any variables in the message, I'm just trying to change the message for now to something like "hello new footer." instead of "Showing...entries" but even using a simple message like this results in the same error.</p>
