hello ?? :)

Do you mean generate CRUD from CFormModel?

4

in Gii there is facilities to convert the model. whether it only refers to CActiveRecord alone or usual also to CFormModel?

5

You can not generate a CFormModel model using Gii.

"Model Generator" is only meant for a CActiveRecord model, because it is a tool to convert a database table structure to a model class code.

"CRUD Generator" also assumes that the target model is a CActiveRecord model.

  • Create a new php file in models directory with the same name as the model class.

  • Write:




class MyFormModel extends CFormModel

{


}

  • Add attributes and validation rules. Don’t forget to add “safe” rule to attributes that doesn’t require validation.

  • Done :)
