ajaxcrudgiitemplate

You are right,I thought of that.Do you know how to do that?'Cause I don't have time to work this out.Will appreciate some contribution....UPDATE. I recently figured out how to add batch(mass) delete functionality in CGridView with a checkbox column.I am using it right now in my CMS,when I find time,I might update this extension to take advantage of mass deletes.

Ajax looks really fast, much thanks ! But When we have to delete 100 records it takes very long time. You should add a column with checkboxes for batch deletion.

Hi, thanks for this extension.

Couple problems I noticed within a few minutes of install:

In the generator, you have 'id' hard coded as the primary key for the model. You should change this to getPrimaryKey().

This happens in 'index.php' and '_ajax_form.php'

You'll still have a problem with compound PK models though. I have some models that use these, I will look into a possible fix. But the above is a quick fix that you could easily do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The indentation is very different from the normal Yii files. In a plain text editor, it makes your code very hard to read.

i always success generate code, but when my table name using underscore "_" like "test_one", the modal window "fancybox" can't be displayed, that because generate code produce code "test-one-....". so i replace all "test-one-..." with the "testOne-..." by modif template code

$this->class2id($this->modelClass)
// just with
$this->modelClass

Anyone else with a demo of this extension? The link above is unavailable and I would like to see it in action.

Hi

I agree with Asgaroth, I was actually just changing your extension to made all these changes proposed by him. As soon as I have something done, I'll let you know and post it in the extensions forum topic.

Anyway, this is a great extension. Thanks for sharing your work.

PS. You should provide a link for the forum topic here, in the extension page.

If someone does the code generation on the server there's no problem,but -yeah most of us develop locally,so the generator will hard code the local application root url.Will try to fix it as soon as possible,when I find free time.Thanks for your comments!

thanks for your response:

I was talking about the ajax_admin.php view generated files.

in the CGridView columns configuration for CButtonColumns generates code that looks like

'imageUrl' => 'myapp/css/image..
//instead of
'imageUrl' => Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/css/image..

Same for the javascript

$.ajax({                           
                type: "POST",
                url: "/myapp/bebe/returnView",
//instead of 
 $.ajax({                           
                type: "POST",
                url: '.Yii::app()->baseUrl.'"/bebe/returnView",

Any way, you should not have that much javascript in a view. and im prretty sure the javascript is almost the same, even if not, you can always create a plugin and funcions that receive the urls, because the only possible change from a model to another is the URL call. which can, in the end, be just the parameter of a javascript function in a external javascript file. reusing code, and archieving organization.

Its just my opinion, I just like things as organised as possible :)

Hi Asgaroth, - About the duplicated javascript.It's not the same if you pay close attention-almost the same.The javascript for the create operation is not included in afterAjaxUpdate. Declaring a javascript object would make sense only if I used the same js code many times. - About the controller name,I don't think it's a big deal.The default CRUD generator uses IndexController for listing the model rows,and AdminController for the page with the CGridView,so I just appended an ajax suffix to remind people that this replaces the default Admincontroller.Changing the controller name is so simple and anyone with a basic Yii knowledge can do it,so no big deal,in my opinion. Thanks for appreciating my extension.

Very nice idea, and I appreciate you shared this with us.

however there are a couple of basic errors you could fix to improve this extension. firts of all you "hardcode" (when generating) the app base URL, making the generated code unportable across different servers. :

//use :
 Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/css' 
//instead of
 '/myapp/css'

Secondly you ajax_admin views have A LOT of javascript, and its also duplicated, in the afterAjaxUpdate CGridView attribute and then again after that.

Try creating global javascript objects, or append a javascript object to the jQuery object so that you can do:

//this:
'afterAjaxUpdate' => 'js:AjaxCrud.gridAfterAjaxUpdate'
//Instead of
'afterAjaxUpdate' => 'js:A HELL BUNCH OF JAVASCRIPT CODE'

Also, when generating the controller, either change the name:

public function actionAjax_Admin()
//to
public function actionIndex()
 
//Or override the class attribute $defaultAction
public $defaultAction = "ajax_admin";
// so that the generated code works easily without manual modification.

Nice idea though!

and thanks...
