I´m trying to concatenate column values without success:

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
...
	'columns'=>array(
...
		array(
			'header'=>'balblal',
                        'value'=>$model->a.' '.$model->b.' '.$model->b,
		),
	),
));

is it possible? what am i doing wrong?

Not sure if it would run into errors with processing through the array but a simple fix is to make a new variable at the top of the widget (before you invoke it):

$newVar = $model->a.$model->b and so on and then use

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
...
	'columns'=>array(
...
		array(
			'header'=>'balblal',
                        'value'=>$newVar,
		),
	),
));

it works well with CDetailView, but not with CGridView

What happens in Cgridview as opposed to detailview?

Tip:
Use $data->a, $data->b and enclose the complete expression in quotes ("deferred" evaluation when columns are rendered).

'value'=>'$data->a.\' \'.$data->b.\' \'.$data->c',

this way worked for me, thanks!

Question: How would you make this column searchable and sortable in CGridView?

[chandran]

Hi btilley,

You can make this column searchable and sortable by modifying the model class search() method

$data->a.\' \'.$data->b.\' \'.$data->c

$criteria->compare('CONCAT(a,b,c)',$this->a);

array(
			'header'=>'Name',
			'name'=>'first_name',
			'value'=>'$data->first_name." ".$data->last_name'
