CRUD: Yet another 2 cents

Archives Feature Requests

I think it would be very-very useful if there would be implemented these features on CRUD:

  • Multi-selection, multi-deletion

  • Filtering

  • Flash-messages on create/delete/update success

I have my own some implementation, but it is still in alpha.

Please look at the following extension: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/datafilter/

Not supports multi-operation though.

You may refer to http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/cookbook/41/ and implement your own CRUD tools that fit your needs exactly.

Yes, in the future we will continue to improve the CRUD tools as they really speed up our development.

@pestaa

Thank you, gonna see that.

Yes, I did it by extending the default CRUD commands and templates. Hope, soon I’ll show the demo. And, how can I help to community? Where I can contribute it? As another google project or inside existing yii?

You may share it as an extension in our extension library. Using google code to maintain it is a good idea.

I’d like it. Good idea!

It would also be great to provide input possibilities for primary keys. I generated CRUD forms for a user class where the user name is used as PK. Now I can’t insert users, because I can’t enter a name. ^^

(Yeah, I know I can extend the templates. But this was intended for a tutorial. And I’m not sure if it would be best starting with such a topic.)
