Dear Friend

The following is one simple implementation without using any dataprovider.

Imagine that I have 12 images(image1,image2,image3,…) in images folder under webapp folder.

i.e) webapp/images/gallery

WIDGET

components/ImageWidget.php




<?php

class ImageWidget extends CWidget

{

	

	public function run()

	{

		$images=array('image1','image2','image3','image4','image5','image6','image7','image8','image9','image10','image11','image12');

		$count=count($images);

		$pages=new CPagination($count);

		$pages->pageVar="image";

		$pages->pageSize=1;

		

		$image=$images[0];

		if(isset($_GET['image']))

			$image=$images[$_GET['image']-1];

		

		$this->render('image',array('pages'=>$pages,'image'=>$image));

	}

	

}

?>

VIEW

components/views/image.php




<?php 

$url=Yii::app()->baseUrl."/images/gallery/".$image.".jpg";

?>

<div>

<?php echo CHtml::image($url);?>

</div>


<?php

$this->widget('CLinkPager', array(

    'pages' => $pages,

    'header'=>'Go to Images'

 ));

?>

Now in any view, we can call




$this->widget('ImageWidget');

I hope this would help you.

Regards.

Dear Friend

I am sure that you know the story of an elephant and five blind men.

Each one interpreting differently by touching different parts of the animal.

Yii is like a big elephant and I am one among the blind.

Best thing is going through the API.

CPagination

Regards.
