There’s nothing special. :)




// in the controller

$model1 = ModelA::model()->findByPk($model1_id);

$model2 = ModelB::model()->findByPk($model2_id);

$this->render('myView',array('model1'=>$model1, 'model2'=>$model2)); 


// in the view

echo "<p>Model A Name = " . $model1->name . "</p>";

...

echo "<p>Model B Name = " . $model2->name . "</p>";


// Or, in the view

$this->widget('zii.widgets.CDetailView', array(

	'data'=>$model1,

	'attributes'=>array(

		'name',

		'something',

		...

);

...

$this->widget('zii.widgets.CDetailView', array(

	'data'=>$model2,

	'attributes'=>array(

		'name',

		'something_different',

		...

);

Hi,

I do this in admin view (displaying 2 models).

Why edit/view buttons from both gridviews are linked to the first model?

can you post your controller please ?

	public function actionAdmin()

	{

		$model=new AfterTasksDsm('search');

		$model->unsetAttributes();  // clear any default values

		

		$model2=new AfterTasksFb('search');

		$model2->unsetAttributes();

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

			$model->attributes=$_GET['AfterTasksDsm'];


		$this->render('admin',array(

			'model'=>$model,

			'model2'=>$model2

		));

	}
