Sorry for the late reply, my day job is taking most of the time 
With version 2 you can use other widgets, you just need to preload the scripts for the widgets and disable them so they don’t get loaded then update dialog is opened. Read http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/eupdatedialog/#hh11 and http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/eupdatedialog/#hh14 and it should give you the idea how it works.
Thanks ifdattic I’m going to study and I talk to them. 
Thanks for your time.
If you still have questions just ask. I tried to write documentation as easy to understand as possible, but if some more information is needed just ask, will try to help.
PS: ideas for EUpdateDialog v3 are always welcome 
Thanks for the extension - appreciate you sharing it.
I have two questions, and being a newbie, there is probably simple answers…
I am using the extension in a very standard controller. When the input (from the dialog box) does not validate against the rules in the model, the dialog box properly shows these errors with the css changing the offending fields. However, the timeout has already started, and the box goes away. I played around with changing the timeout, giving the user a chance to correct the input, but this is not really the answer. The call has the json ‘status’ as failure.
Is there a way to make the behaviour such that the box does not close with status failure but closes appropriately (with timeout) if success?
How do I change the width of the dialog. I tried this:
$this->widget('ext.EUpdateDialog.EUpdateDialog',array('dialogOptions'=>array('width'=>700)));
in my view, but no change in width. How should I do it?
Thanks
Make sure you use the newest extension version (including assets and actions) because I think you’re using old actions as in new version ‘failure’ status is not used anymore (as far as I can remember).
Make sure you don’t overwrite the width somewhere and again make sure you’re using the newest version of the extension. I tried the code you use and it worked the way it’s supposed to.
If you still have the problems let me know, I will try to think of something else.
Hi,
first of all thank you very much for great extension - it is very useful.
I couldn’t reach you through my thread so decided to write the question in other words in extension’s thread.
My question is simple: I would like two different update action forms to be reflected in dialog on the same page - one to update the category of goods and another to update good presented using CGridView.
Upon successful update of category I would like to reload some certain part of page (including CGridView), I achieved that with the following setting of your extension:
'options' => array(
'callback' => 'js:function() {$("#content").load("'.CHtml::normalizeUrl(array('/productcategory/admin')).'");}'
)
However upon change of good information I would like to refresh the grid only and this is also achievable by:
'options' => array(
'callback' => 'js:function() {if(typeof $.fn.yiiGridView != "undefined") { $.fn.yiiGridView.update("product-grid");}}'
)
But could you advise how can I combine both these functionalities on the same page?
I was thinking about creating two different dialogs on the page and depending on link clicked one of them should be opened and execute callback function as a result but is it possible to set the html "id" of each dialog?
May be you know some easier solution for this problem…
Thank you very much in advance!
Sorry I didn’t reply to your thread, didn’t get any emails about new comments.
Well as far as I can’t say without too much thinking (got a cold, not enough oxygen for thinking) you’re overwriting the callback method a little too much. Callback method works as a switch to call a method depending on the returned status. And probably the fasted way to get what you want will be making a few changes to the actions/extension, just return a different status for one of the actions and then do a different callback for that status, and that should be about it.
Brilliant!
Did it within half an hour after reading your answer 
Thank you a lot!!
I’m just glad you found a solution 
Dear ifdattic,
it seems I need your help again 
I’m trying to use in EUpdateDialog create-update form that accept file upload.
However it seems that for some reason value of CHTML::activeFileField isn’t transferred to action procedure.
Here is my form:
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'product-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
'htmlOptions'=>array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'),
)); ?>
.....................................
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'uploadedFile'); ?>
<?php echo CHTML::activeFileField($model,'uploadedFile'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'uploadedFile'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
Code of my action:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Product;
// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);
if(isset($_POST['Product']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['Product'];
// \/ Process image \/
$model->uploadedFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'uploadedFile');
$image = Yii::app()->image->load($model->uploadedFile->tempName);
$imageName = $model->genImageName();
$image->resize(200, 200, IMAGE::AUTO)->quality(75)->sharpen(20);
$image->save(CHtml::normalizeUrl(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/images/products/large/'.$imageName), False);
$image->resize(100, 100, IMAGE::AUTO)->quality(75)->sharpen(20);
$image->save(CHtml::normalizeUrl(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/images/products/small/'.$imageName), False);
$model->largepic = CHtml::normalizeUrl(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/images/products/large/'.$imageName);
$model->smallpic = CHtml::normalizeUrl(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/images/products/small/'.$imageName);
// /\ Process image /\
if($model->save()) {
if( Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest )
{
// Stop jQuery from re-initialization
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;
echo CJSON::encode( array(
'status' => 'success',
'content' => 'ModelName successfully updated',
));
exit;
}
else {
$this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));
}
}
}
if( Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest )
{
// Stop jQuery from re-initialization
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;
echo CJSON::encode( array(
'status' => 'failure',
'content' => $this->renderPartial( '_form', array(
'model' => $model ), true, true ),
));
exit;
}
else {
$this->render('create',array(
'model'=>$model,
));
}
}
Using normal request to index.php/product/create?categoryid=3 I can successfully create new Product and all needed images are properly resized and saved.
However using JUI Dialog it doesn’t seem to work, I receive:
<p>image file not found (Z:\home\stroyka\www\protected\extensions\image\Image.php:78)</p><pre>#0 Z:\home\stroyka\www\protected\extensions\image\CImageComponent.php(41): Image->__construct(NULL, Array)
#1 Z:\home\stroyka\www\protected\controllers\ProductController.php(75): CImageComponent->load(NULL)
#2 Z:\home\stroyka\www\yii\framework\web\actions\CInlineAction.php(50): ProductController->actionCreate
And this happens because $model->uploadedFile is NULL.
Could you advise what I’m missing here? I saw some threads where EAjaxUpload is used together with CJuiDialog - is that the only option?
As usual thanks a lot in advance!
Hi,
You should probably look into uploading files through AJAX as I doubt a file is sended with a simple AJAX post. Sorry can’t help you with this.
Hi Guys,
I can’t seem to get this extension to work.
I have been able to follow the first article (without plugin) with no problems:
http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/216/update-delete-model-with-cjuidialog-works-in-cgridview/
Then I revert to the original gii generate files, and try to use the extension, but I get all kinds of problems.
I am not sure of what parts of the original article are now part of the extension and which not, so I get all kind of clashes.
Can someone send me (or post) a zip file with a completed example: model, controller and views?
Hi,
The first version of the extension was kind of the article just made for everyones convenience as the extension. The second version was a big step forward and almost the complete rewrite, so usage is a lot different from the first version.
But theory is kind of the same, only usage and features changed, so I you read through the extension docs I’m sure you will be able to figure how to use
I’ve started several times from scratch with the extensions docs:
In views/admin.php I add:
$this->widget( 'ext.EUpdateDialog.EUpdateDialog' );
In my controller:
change function: loadModel()
(also need to declare a "private $_model" class variable, not in docs)
add function setFlash().
this does NOTHING in the controller:
public function actions()
{
die("bug"); //NOTICE DIE here! this NEVER gets executed!!!!
return array(
'view' => 'application.actions.CreateAction',
);
}
If I modify actionUpdate,actionCreate, etc as in the article it kind of works (validations fails, delete does not delete anything, etc).
Any chance of getting any sample files for version 2
I just found the sample files from version 1.
Starting from scratch again and using those sample files, I have gotten:
Update works great!!!
Create works, but it inserts TWO records each time!
Both View and Delete throw and error: 500 (Internal Server Error)!!!!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Hey all, Good plugin… Small problem UpdateAction working ViewAction not.

Basically same problem as @komannder
My solution was this:
Line 22 in ViewAction.php
public $ajaxView = '_view';
Change to
public $ajaxView = 'view';
This will resolve the 500 error on the view. Link for the admin view.
Actually you can change this in ‘actions’ method, this property allows to render different view for ajax method.
No I know but it wasn’t documented and it was the guy above me problem. The 500 errors where related to the wrong view.
