Hi Friends,

How to display status image on admin gridview.

The CGridView widget is very useful and customizable, but sometimes you need a little more. One limit I found is to have only one row for headers; yes, you can write each column header in more than one row, but just inside the single cell. I was looking instead for the possibility to use more than one row, with different structure one from the others. This way **you can write columns grouping h...

CGridView and CListView are great widget to populate records and also provides features like ajax update, column sort, search, drop-down filter, ajax content load and many more...

There is a few cases that you want more of one CActiveDataProvider displayed in one CGrideView How to do that?

1. Create an Active Record Behavior that builds the criteria for the search() method and attach it to your model
2. Modify the search() method of the model to merge the behavior's criteria in with the rest of the searchable attributes

Lets say we have such a CGridView widget showing a list of users for administrator. Users have status „active“ or „disabled“. Grid widget puts class „odd“ or „even“ to rows and we want to preserve this. So we want to add a class „disabled“ to rows with disabled users.

Implementation

<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
	'id'=>'user-grid',
	'dat...

Changing the way a CGridView is rendered from the configuration file, or through behaviors specified at the moment it is used, is handy to extend a CGridView without creating tons of different classes for it. I am surprised that this is not in the default implementation, so I made my default CGridView implementation.

1. Create an Active Record Behavior that builds the criteria for the search() method and attach it to your model
2. Modify the search() method of the model to merge the behavior's criteria in with the rest of the searchable attributes
3. Modify the _search form view to add the date range inputs

Backoffice Grid Views often list information like Posts for a blog while showing at the same time linked information like the User who wrote that post. For more efficiency, it is appropriate that the User is displayed as a link to the User detail page.

Sometimes text inside a gridview column is just too long. That's why I figured out a way to make the column smaller while still providing the information.

I recently had to have a checkbox column in my grid view that supported the 'disabled' attribute. This was easy enough to do by extending the CCheckBoxColumn. However, I also wanted the checkbox to be selected when clicking on the table's row (supported via CGridView's selectableRows option). I discovered I had to tweak yiigridview.js so that it would not select disabled rows when clicking on it o...

This will call the controller function using AJAX instead of redirecting the user to the url using GET parameters.

This tutorial gives you multiple options of how to fully implement showing, sorting and filtering related data in gridviews.

Intro

CGridView (or CListView) together with CActiveDataProvider is a very powerful combination of the built-in tools of Yii. But how do they work together to accomplish their fantastic functions? And what are you expected to do to use them and to customize their behaviors? This article explains the very basics of them.

Inspired by it I extended the CButtonColumn class like this:

You usually take a model instance passed into your view to provide data to a CGridView in this way:

This is a tutorial for how to add input text-Field, check-box, buttons in CGridView.

A little hint of how to create a progress bar inside the column of the grid, using the 'bootstrap' extension.

This artical is related to allow user to filter CGridView with date range using datepicker on submit button. Here I use Yii Cookie to preserve date in datepicker textbox after submitting the form.
