I am currently using the CActiveDataProvider to pass data to my CListView.
One database item is a serialized array, from which I only need the first element. I could put this logic into the (partial) view, but I would rather do it in the Controller, where I create the DataProvider.
Unfortunately I can’t find any “hook” to access only this one item from my DataProvider to modify it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
$dataProvider = new CActiveDataProvider('Member');
// Access $dataProvider->myitem and modify it
$this->render('index', array(
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
));
Thanks mbi. I need to put the afterFind() into the model, where it is called every time the model is instantiated, right?
Do you know a solution where I can do the logic in the controller? Because I need the model as it is (with the serialized array) for other controllers.
private $_firstElement;
public function afterFind()
{
$this->_firstElement = $this->getFirstElementFromSerializedArray();
}
public function getFirstElement()
{
return $this->_firstElement;
}
