My View Code for Search column,
<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker',array(
'model'=>$model,
'id'=>'Search-Created',
'attribute'=>'created',
'options'=>array(
'dateFormat'=>'dd/mm/yy',
'showAnim'=>'fold',
'buttonImage'=>Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/images/icons.date.png',
'buttonImageOnly'=>true,
'buttonText'=>'',
'showAnim'=>'fold',
'showOn'=>'button',
'showButtonPanel'=>false,
),
));?>

Answer 1

you should probably change the date format. set it like this, 'dateFormat'=>'dd-mm-yy',
$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(
'model'=>$model,
'attribute'=>'dob',
// additional javascript options for the date picker plugin
'options' => array(
'showAnim' => 'fold',
'dateFormat'=>'dd/mm/yyyy',
),
'htmlOptions' => array(
'style' => 'height:20px;'
),
));
Update:
In your model, define it as following, in my case dob is the attribute name. you can have your own instead.
This will change your dateformat from "dd/mm/yyyy" to "yyyy-mm-dd internally before you run any find.
Ref : http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CActiveRecord#beforeFind-detail
protected function beforeFind()
{
$this->dob=date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->dob));
parent::beforeFind();
}
update 2
Replace your search method with this,
public function search() {
// #todo Please modify the following code to remove attributes that should not be searched.
$criteria = new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->compare('crm_base_contact_id', $this->crm_base_contact_id);
$criteria->compare('name', $this->name, true);
$criteria->compare('created', '07/12/2013'); //date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->created))
$criteria->compare('createdby', $this->createdby, true);
$criteria->compare('description', $this->description);
$criteria->compare('is_active', $this->is_active);
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria' => $criteria,
));
}
Update 3
change this line $criteria->compare('created', '07/12/2013'); to
$criteria->compare('created', date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->created));
