I have a custom field in my Model:
public function getFullName()
{
return $this->Name." ".$this->Surname;
}
and in the same Model I have the following code in the Search function:
public function search()
{
// Warning: Please modify the following code to remove attributes that
// should not be searched.
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
...
if (isset($_GET['Applicant']['FullName']) && ($_GET['Applicant']['FullName']!=' ')) {
$criteria->addCondition('((Name LIKE "%'.$_GET['Applicant']['FullName'].'%") OR (Surname LIKE "%'.$_GET['Applicant']['FullName'].'%"))');
}
...
In the Admin file in the View folder, I have the following definition in the CGridView columns array:
...
array(
'name'=>'FullName',
'type'=>'raw',
'value' => 'CHtml::link(CHtml::encode($data["FullName"]), array("applicant/update","id"=>$data["ID"]))',
),
...
The search works fine, but there are two things that I cannot resolve:
- In the filter field of the column in the grid, there is always an extra space, which is why I have to check for an extra space in the if clause:
($_GET['Applicant']['FullName']!=' ')
instead of
($_GET['Applicant']['FullName']!='')
- In this same filter field of the column in the grid, when I enter a search value and press enter, the field goes blank (does not remember the search value entered)
Help / suggestions appreciated
