There are cases that you want to make an ajax request to another server and get the results.

I wanted to customize the CJuiAutoComplete, so that it displays a thumb image before the label like the one shown in the following image:

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.

Hi Friends,

CGridview displays existent rows of the table (using DataProvider)

1. The Main template holds the header, main navigation and footer
2. One or more layout files holds the column setup, sub navigation etc.
3. The view files hold the actual page content.

1) include the fancybox extesion otherwise fancybox js

I was able to set up the infinite scroll of select2 in Yii. I am glad to share it with you. The demo and source code can be found here. However, select2 for Yii can be found here which uses a widget.

This is the code in the View.

<?php echo CHtml::link('MyDialog', Yii::app()->createUrl('site/page'), array('class' => 'openDlg divDialog')); ?>
<?php
$this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array('id'=>'divDialog',
	'options'=>array( 'title'=>Yii::t('Dialog Title', 'autoOpen'=>false, 'modal'=>true, 'width'=>600)));
?>
	<div class="divForForm"></div>
<?php
$this->endWidget(...

After of model update (successfull or not) throught CGridView (check the below link) you probably need to updates the specific row html in cgridview (not entire cgridview)

There are cases you want to update a record on CGridview directly

The only thing required is simple, we just need to create a view that will be partially rendered by a call to a controller (using renderPartial) and make sure that we process output -setting to true the parameter on the function. Everything will work as expected but...

This article discusses how one can run a long task in background in yiiframework 1.1 using Ajax technique.

<?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(
                'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
                'template'=>'{...

In this wiki I explain how to show a default popup dialogbox (like Gii does) using an existing module.

Sometimes you want to render a view in Fancybox.

what i am going to introduce is a coding style that will result into a single page generated from different requests like in the example below this makes the specific request reusable instead of just an action being accessible to the controller in which the widgets are created

Suppose you want to refresh a form or any content when a single row of CGridView is selected
