CButtonColumn

Package zii.widgets.grid
Inheritance class CButtonColumn » CGridColumn » CComponent
Since 1.1
Source Code framework/zii/widgets/grid/CButtonColumn.php
CButtonColumn represents a grid view column that renders one or several buttons.

By default, it will display three buttons, "view", "update" and "delete", which triggers the corresponding actions on the model of the row.

By configuring buttons and template properties, the column can display other buttons and customize the display order of the buttons.

Property Details

afterDelete property

public string $afterDelete;

a javascript function that will be invoked after the delete ajax call. This property is used only if $this->buttons['delete']['click'] is not set.

The function signature is function(link, success, data)

  • link references the delete link.
  • success status of the ajax call, true if the ajax call was successful, false if the ajax call failed.
  • data the data returned by the server in case of a successful call or XHR object in case of error.
Note that if success is true it does not mean that the delete was successful, it only means that the ajax call was successful.

Example:
 array(
    class'=>'CButtonColumn',
    'afterDelete'=>'function(link,success,data){ if(success) alert("Delete completed successfully"); }',
 ),

buttons property

public array $buttons;

the configuration for buttons. Each array element specifies a single button which has the following format:

'buttonID' => array(
    'label'=>'...',     // text label of the button
    'url'=>'...',       // a PHP expression for generating the URL of the button
    'imageUrl'=>'...',  // image URL of the button. If not set or false, a text link is used
    'options'=>array(...), // HTML options for the button tag
    'click'=>'...',     // a JS function to be invoked when the button is clicked
    'visible'=>'...',   // a PHP expression for determining whether the button is visible
)


In the PHP expression for the 'url' option and/or 'visible' option, the variable $row refers to the current row number (zero-based), and $data refers to the data model for the row. The PHP expression will be evaluated using evaluateExpression. A PHP expression can be any PHP code that has a value. To learn more about what an expression is, please refer to the php manual.

If the 'buttonID' is 'view', 'update' or 'delete' the options will be applied to the default buttons.

Note that in order to display non-default buttons, the template property needs to be configured so that the corresponding button IDs appear as tokens in the template.

deleteButtonImageUrl property

public string $deleteButtonImageUrl;

the image URL for the delete button. If not set, an integrated image will be used. You may set this property to be false to render a text link instead.

deleteButtonLabel property

public string $deleteButtonLabel;

the label for the delete button. Defaults to "Delete". Note that the label will not be HTML-encoded when rendering.

deleteButtonOptions property

public array $deleteButtonOptions;

the HTML options for the delete button tag.

deleteButtonUrl property

public string $deleteButtonUrl;

a PHP expression that is evaluated for every delete button and whose result is used as the URL for the delete button. In this expression, you can use the following variables:

  • $row the row number (zero-based)
  • $data the data model for the row
  • $this the column object
The PHP expression will be evaluated using evaluateExpression.

A PHP expression can be any PHP code that has a value. To learn more about what an expression is, please refer to the php manual.

deleteConfirmation property

public string $deleteConfirmation;

the confirmation message to be displayed when delete button is clicked. By setting this property to be false, no confirmation message will be displayed. This property is used only if $this->buttons['delete']['click'] is not set.

public array $footerHtmlOptions;

the HTML options for the footer cell tag.

headerHtmlOptions property

template property

the template that is used to render the content in each data cell. These default tokens are recognized: {view}, {update} and {delete}. If the buttons property defines additional buttons, their IDs are also recognized here. For example, if a button named 'preview' is declared in buttons, we can use the token '{preview}' here to specify where to display the button.

updateButtonImageUrl property

public string $updateButtonImageUrl;

the image URL for the update button. If not set, an integrated image will be used. You may set this property to be false to render a text link instead.

updateButtonLabel property

the label for the update button. Defaults to "Update". Note that the label will not be HTML-encoded when rendering.

updateButtonOptions property

public array $updateButtonOptions;

the HTML options for the update button tag.

updateButtonUrl property

public string $updateButtonUrl;

a PHP expression that is evaluated for every update button and whose result is used as the URL for the update button. In this expression, you can use the following variables:

  • $data the data model for the row
  • $this the column object
The PHP expression will be evaluated using evaluateExpression.

A PHP expression can be any PHP code that has a value. To learn more about what an expression is, please refer to the php manual.
