Generate Form With Drop Down Using Gii Crud Generator

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I am new to yii…

I want to create model and form using Gii,

In my database table i used enum data type for specific values to select by user.

than i generate model and crude using Gii but it doesn’t create drop-down list in form for that enum field.

for create that drop-down using Gii what should i have to do. or change templates of Gii.

please help me. Thanks in advance…

As far as I’m aware, Gii doesn’t attempt to read the options in enumerations, probably because lots of DBMSs don’t support that structure.

I normally handle it by creating a static method within the model called getXOptions(), where X is the field name. For example:




    public static function getStatusOptions()

    {

        return array(

            'pending'=>'Pending',

            'in-progress'=>'In Progress',

            'complete'=>'Complete',

            'cancelled'=>'Cancelled',

        );

    }

You can use this in your rules too, if you want to ensure that only valid options are provided:




    public function rules()

    {

        return array(

            ...

            array('status', 'in', 'range'=>array_keys(self::getStatusOptions())),

            ...

        );

    }
