Yii 1.1.1 ~ Yii 1.1.6 This feature has been integrated since version 1.1.7. See CActiveForm

Description: ¶

This extension just extend from {link: CActiveForm} using few codes, it enhances the ajax validation.

• Submit a list of changed attributes to php backend, then can access the attributes list in Controller via $_POST['attributes']['ModelName'] and verify these attributes only.
• First to do client-side javascript validations before submission of ajax, and js validators converted from {link: CValidator} automatically.

protected function performAjaxValidation($model)
{
  if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest && isset($_POST['ajax']))
  {
    $class = get_class($model);
    if (isset($_POST['attributes']) && is_array($_POST['attributes'][$class]))
      $attributes = $_POST['attributes'][$class];
