Display name instead of Id in Yii - yii

Question

I want to display the name of Shift instead of shift_id
I have a dropboxlist from other table that is like this
<div>
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'mon'); ?>
<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'mon', CHtml::listData(
Shift::model()->findAll(), 'shft_id', 'name'),
array('prompt' => 'Select a Department')
); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'mon'); ?>
I have two tables that is
Day: id_day,mon,tues,wed,etc
Shift: shft_id,start,end,name,status
Here is the relation in the day
'shift'=>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Shift','shft_id'),
For Shift:
'day'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Day','id_day'),
It is already working. The choices in the dropbox was the name of the Shift, and puts the shft_id in the mon,tues,wed,etc. In the view of the form it looks like
id_user: 3
mon:5
tues:5
wed:6
what I wanted to be is that in the view.
id_user: 3
mon: 6am-5pm
tues: 7am-6pm
etc.etc.
I dont know what command it is. I have no idea. Help me please

Answer 1

Instead of User::getusername() method.
I think you can simply use this in one line.
// format models resulting using listData
<?php echo $form->dropdownlist($model,'user_id', CHtml::listData(User::model()->findAll(),'id', 'name')); ?>

Answer 2

below is an example which I think may solved your problem
in _form.php
<?php echo $form->dropdownlist($model,'user_id', User::getusername()); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'user_id'); ?></th>
in User model
public function getusername()
{
$criteria2=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria2->select='*';
$quser=User::model()->findAll($criteria2);
foreach($quser as $r)
{
$user_id= $r->user_id;
$user_name=$r->user_name;
$user_array[$user_id]=$user_name;
}
return $user_array;
}

I'm trying to understand what you are really asking. I believe you were saying that you are already able to populate your records correctly from the dropdowns. But when you are displaying, the view is only showing the shift_id value? The relation for the day should be able to get your shift name. How are you displaying the list:
mon: 5
tue: 5
wed: 6
I'm trying to understand if you need help displaying the dropdown items properly, or how to display the shift name later after the values have been set in the database. Also, your 'Day' table has me confused. What are the field names? Are they 'day_id' and 'day'? Or do you actually name the fields after each day of the week?
If you are displaying the data through a foreach and are getting each day (let's assume it is $day) object, then the relationship to 'shift' can give you the name like this: echo $day->shift->name; if the name displays as '#am-#pm'. Otherwise you can display it like this:
echo sprintf('%d a.m. - %d p.m.',$day->shift->start,$day->shift->end);

Thanks for the people who helped me. It did lead me to the answer anyone who has the same problem here is what i did.
In my model/Day
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(
'monday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','mon'),
'tuesday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','tue'),
'wednesday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','wed'),
'thursday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','thurs'),
'friday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','fri'),
'saturday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','sat'),
'sunday'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO,'Shift','sun'),
);
}
and In my models/Shift
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(
'day_mon' =>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','mon'),
'day_tue' =>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','tue'),
'day_wed' =>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','wed'),
'day_thurs'=> array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','thurs'),
'day_fri'=>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','fri'),
'day_sat'=>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','sat'),
'day_sun'=>array(self::HAS_MANY,'Day','sun'),
);
}
The problem is with my relations. its not set properly, so you need to set it properly then go to Day/view
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbDetailView',array(
'data'=>$model,
'attributes'=>array(
'id_day',
array(
'name'=>'mon',
'value'=>CHtml::encode($model->monday->name)
),
Here is the output

Answer 5

If you have a detail veiw then use the following code:
widget('zii.widgets.CDetailView', array(
'data'=>$model,
'attributes'=>array(
'id',
'name',
array(
'label' => $model->shift->getAttributeLabel('shift_name'),
'value' => $model->shift->shift_name
),)); ?>

Answer 6

In case anybody else will be in my boat, what you will need to do is edit view.php in view/modelname/view.php
widget('zii.widgets.CDetailView', array(
'data'=>$model,
'attributes'=>array(
'id',
'name',
'country_id')); ?>
into
widget('zii.widgets.CDetailView', array(
'data'=>$model,
'attributes'=>array(
'id',
'name',
array(
'label' => $model->country->getAttributeLabel('country'),
'value' => $model->country->name
),)); ?>
