dropDownList and default select

Hi everyone,

I’m sorry for my english:) I have problem with a dropDownList and default value.

When I use this code:

<?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('name', '0', array('0'=>'value1', '1'=>'value2'));

For this example dafault value is ‘value1’. It’s ok but when I want to use dropDownList and $model I can’t to select default value. See this code, please.

<?php echo CHtml::dropDownList($model, 'attrubuteName, $data)); ?>

I don’t know where to give a default value. Has anyone any idea? Is it possible?

Thanks.

If you want to use the dropDownList with model, you should set the default value in either controller or model class

e.g.

//inside the controller's action function

$model->name = 0;

$this->render(..........


//in the model class declaration

$name = 0;

You don’t have to do that.

I think this would work:

<?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('name', '0', array('0'=>'value1', '1'=>'value2'),

 array('options' => array('1'=>array('selected'=>true)))); ?>

Isn’t he want to use the model method??

Thanks everyone!

It’s ok:

Yes:

                	<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'issue_priority_id', CHtml::listData(

                	IssuePriority::model()->findAll(array('order'=>'id')), 'id', 'name'), array('options' => array('2'=>array('selected'=>true)))); ?>

Cool! I used the same topic when I wanted to figure out how to do that.

But any is there any different comparing with setting default values to the model instead??
