CHtml - activeDropDownList default value

hello,

In HTML, you’d set the value in the


<option value="1" selected>1</options>

How can I set this nicely with Yii?

thanks,

Ooops, my bad :confused: in the controller I forgot to set the attributes of the form ie:


$form->setAttributes( array('attr1'=> $_POST['attrib1']) );

now it works as it meant to be :)

Hi imehesz,

I’m trying to do exactly the same, but I cannot understand your solution completely.

Could you please post a more detailed explanation? More code to read would be bautiful :)

Thanks a lot.

Well, I don’t have the exact code in front of me, but my problem was, that I implemented a search form on my page, and when I submitted the form, it always forgot the values in the view … because I forgot to assign them in the controller… so your controller would look something like this:




class MyController extends CController

{

  public function actionList()

  {

    $form = new searchFormModel();


    if( isset( $_POST['searchForm'] ) )

    {

      // for some reason I had to set the variables one by one,

      // so I know for a fact this works

      $form -> setAttributes( array( 'name' => $_POST['searchForm']['name']) );


      // i think this might work too

      $form->attributes = $_POST['searchForm'];

      // ... some logic here ... //

    }


    $this -> render( 'list', array( 'searchForm' => $form ) );

  }

}

NOTE: I wrote this from the top of my head, but it should do the trick …

hope it helps,
