relations / gridview

let’s say I have 2 tables :

countries ( id ‘pk’, name )

users ( id ‘pk’, username, … )

and this function that defines the relation

public function relations()


{


	return array(


		'country' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Countries', 'country_id'),


	);


}

when I use country.name in the view file, the column "country name" is no longer searchable,

any help is appreciated :)

I make virtual attributes for them. So basically you need to create:




$this->_country = null;


function getCountry() { //these two are the functions that make the virtual attributes

  if($this->_country == null) {

    $this->_country = $this->country->name;

  }


  return $this->_country;


}


function setCountry($c) {

  $this->_country = $c;

}


function search() {

//.......


$criteria->compare('country.name', $this->country, true); //Note that I am not using $_country


}



because grid view check if the column name has “.” don’t filter i think.

@Mr Soundless

I was just thinking of doing a wiki on this kind of subject, given the number of posts about it recently, but your blog entry describes it exactly as needed!

Thanks for the help :)
