Thanks chuck,

I eventually realized it wasn't showing anything because I functions weren't bug
free yet.  I was able to debug them by manually adding to the columns[] array...
but sure enough once i got it working... i got a fatal error.  This being due to
the Horde method of calling it SUCEEDING (declaring my functions twice)!.  It
took me a second to realize what had happened.  But it's all happy now... no
hacking of horde necessary, just a config line or two and our own api functions. 

Thanks for your reply.

PS - 
If anyone is curious about the purpose of this hack, It's a customized instance
of DoubleChocaLatte (ticket/Wo/Project tracking) delivered inside HORDE, we just
wanted to integrate into the summary and provide quick links to common tasks and
open tickets.
