Why a widget ? Simple, we can extend the variables and make it as complex as we want, but will not be this case ;). We are going to pass just 1 variable if we need it.

Under your ext folder or widget folder ( mine under **protected/ext/data** ) create the following widget:


 
 

```php
class EBackButtonWidget extends CWidget {}

 
``` Where: <br/> 
 
1. Back is the text that the button will show. <br/> 2. name will be the name of the button  <br/> 
3. class just in case that you want to do it pretty :).
4. styles that you want to use. In my case I will change the width.To call this widget we simple:


 

```php
<?```

Where :<br>
 
1. application.ext.data.EBackButtonWidget is the path to our widget.<br> 2. width will be the width param that we give to the widget.<br> And that is it !! <br>
