This is a simple example of how we can display images in CGridviews.Imagine that you have an image field in your table ie either a location field or a blob type field used to store the images.

Many desktop programmers are used to having dynamic forms, where clicking on a record in a parent sub-form, updates another sub-form with the child records. While having many levels of nested sub-forms in a single view might not be such a good idea for a web application, I thought doing it one level deep might be interesting and useful. But, instead of sub-forms I used CGridViews.

class Post extends CActiveRecord {

} ` When you list Authors in grid you would like to print the count of posts in column, allow sorting on this column and probably filtering by the count.

We can use a CJuiDatePicker for a CGridView inline filter.

    For each column of the CGridView, we can specify name, value, htmlOptions, cssClassExpression etc. In the declarations of the attributes value and cssClassExpression we can use the "special" variable $data, for example like this:
'value'=>'$data->author->username',.
    Now we might want to use $data in the declaration of the `...

A few days ago, i worked for CGridView exporting functional for my client. He asked me to create a simple exporting to a CSV file a CGridView search results.

In this tip, I'll help you to change in few second buttons of your CGridView. I hope you like it =).

Lets say we have two models and relation between them:

If you have to display a overview of related data in a table, you can use the CListView, create your view with table/tr/td tags and implement db-queries in the view to display detaildata of the current (master-)record.

My article Display the full record in a CJuiDialog uses ajax to view a record in dialog on clicking the 'view-icon'.

The popular [CListView] and [CGridView] widgets each take a data provider and iterate over each data object produced, calling the user's code to render each row one at a time, and most are familiar with the use of the $data variable to represent the current model object or 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.

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

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

This tutorial will show you how to create Ajax dialog which allows to create new model, update or delete existing model. It works with simple links, CGridView button column links, adds a minimal amount of code and degrades gracefully with JavaScript turned off.

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...

Since I used CGridView for a first time, I didn't like how it handled operations like sorting, filtering, changing page and etc using AJAX.
