bllim / laravel4-datatables-package -> get the id from the query - laravel-4

Question

I'm trying to get the ID from the query when I use edit_column but I get it only for the 'id' column, when I try to get it for the 'operations' column I get the html markup of the 'id' column.
Here is the code:
public function ajaxGetAllPages()
{
$pages = Page::select(array('id','title','updated_at','status'));
return Datatables::of($pages)
->edit_column('id', '<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxes tooltips" value="{{ $id }}" data-placement="left" data-original-title=" אינדקס # {{ $id }} " />')
->edit_column('title','{{ $title }}')
->edit_column('updated_at', '{{ date("d-m-Y | H:i",strtotime($updated_at)) }}')
->edit_column('status', '{{ $status }}')
->edit_column('operations',
'<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i>
<i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i>
<i class="fa fa-times"></i>
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn default btn-xs dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown">עוד <i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu pull-right" role="menu">
<li>פעולה</li>
<li>פעולה</li>
</ul>
</div>'
)
->make();
}
Markup result - http://screencast.com/t/nIefrpqc8
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
Thanks,

According to Bllim docs:
If you use double quotes while giving content of add_column or edit_column, you should escape variables with backslash () else you get error. For example:
edit_column('id',"- {{ \$id }}")
Use backslash before $id.
->edit_column('operations',
'<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i>
<i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i>
<i class="fa fa-times"></i>
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn default btn-xs dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown">עוד <i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu pull-right" role="menu">
<li>פעולה</li>
<li>פעולה</li>
</ul>
</div>'
