In this article I'll try to explain how to use standard quick search fields in CGridView with customized columns.
For example:
We have a record in a database with field switch having 0 or 1 values. After that we want a user to see on or off instead 1 or 0.
So we do the usual thing:

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

'dataProvider' => $dataprovider,
'id'=>'recipient_table',
    'selectionChanged'=>'updateEditForm',
'columns' => array(
	'rec_id',
            'org.nachname',
            'org.vorname',
            'org_id',
            array(

I have had to do this a couple of times now so I figured I would share it with the community. I am going to keep this short because I really hope that you are familiar with jQueryUI's Sortable class before starting this tutorial.

I've seen many tickets regarding how to show friendly delete confirmation using CGridView's CButtonColumn in ajax request. If you are using relational database, after producing CRUD functionality when you try to delete a record in ajax mode which has child record it can't be deleted and you can see the ajax loader forever. By this way you can't show the users if a record has been successfully dele...

This is what I did. Its the EASIEST solution that I know of. I just reused the advanced search done in CGridView.

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.

Using filters on CGridView with CActiveDataProvider is easy, but with CArrayDataProvider it is a bit tricky.
