How to show content for the users using CGridView? - yii

Question

I have a page with the list of categories on my site and I want to show them using Cgridview as right now they displayed with CListView. I'm using Yii 1.1. I see that CGridView used only if you want to manage content but is it possible to use it if you want to show it, on the index pages?
<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'id'=>'category-grid',
'dataProvider'=>$model->search(),
'filter'=>$model,
'columns'=>array(
'id',
'title',
'status',
array(
'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
),
),
)); ?>

You can used this code for your cgridview
Categories Model
File Path : protected/model/categories.php
Categories.php
<?php
/**
* This is the model class for table "categories".
*
* The followings are the available columns in table 'categories':
* #property integer $id
* #property string $title
* #property string $status
*/
class Categories extends CActiveRecord
{
/**
* #return string the associated database table name
*/
public function tableName()
{
return 'area';
}
/**
* #return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array('title, status', 'required'),
array('status', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),
array('title', 'length', 'max'=>255),
// The following rule is used by search().
// #todo Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
array('id, title, status', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
);
}
/**
* #return array relational rules.
*/
public function relations()
{
// NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
// class name for the relations automatically generated below.
return array(
);
}
/**
* #return array customized attribute labels (name=>label)
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'id' => 'ID',
'title' => 'Title',
'status' => 'Status'
);
}
/**
* Retrieves a list of models based on the current search/filter conditions.
*
* Typical usecase:
* - Initialize the model fields with values from filter form.
* - Execute this method to get CActiveDataProvider instance which will filter
* models according to data in model fields.
* - Pass data provider to CGridView, CListView or any similar widget.
*
* #return CActiveDataProvider the data provider that can return the models
* based on the search/filter conditions.
*/
public function search()
{
// #todo Please modify the following code to remove attributes that should not be searched.
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->compare('id',$this->id);
$criteria->compare('title',$this->title,true);
$criteria->compare('status',$this->status);
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria'=>$criteria,
));
}
/**
* Returns the static model of the specified AR class.
* Please note that you should have this exact method in all your CActiveRecord descendants!
* #param string $className active record class name.
* #return Area the static model class
*/
public static function model($className=__CLASS__)
{
return parent::model($className);
}
}
Categories Controller
File Path : protected/model/CategoriesController.php
CategoriesController.php
<?php
class CategoriesController extends Controller
{
/**
* Specifies the access control rules.
* This method is used by the 'accessControl' filter.
* #return array access control rules
* #access Public
*/
public function accessRules()
{
return array(
array('allow',
'actions' => array('index'),
'users' => array('*'),
),
array('deny',
'users' => array('*'),
),
);
}
public function actionIndex()
{
$model = new Categories();
$model->unsetAttributes();
if(isset($_REQUEST['Categories']))
$model->attributes = $_REQUEST['Categories'];
$this->render('index',array('model'=>$model));
}
}
Categories View File
File Path : protected/view/index.php
index.php
<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'id'=>'category-grid',
'dataProvider'=>$model->search(),
'filter'=>$model,
'columns'=>array(
'id',
'title',
'status',
array(
'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
),
),
)); ?>
you can add your design in index.php file.
