How do i display data in table format using CGridView.

I have already changed view.php as follows


$dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('Expense');

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

    'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,

));

now what should i have in _view.php to display it in Tabluar format.

Also is there a way to provide default values in $form->textfield

I’m just starting with Yii. Help appreciated

Thanks

You need to tell the widget which columns you want the table to have:




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

    'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,

    'columns'=>array(

        'modelProperty1',

        'modelProperty2',

        'modelProperty3',

    ),

))

For the form, you can have it display the value that’s currently set in the model by using the CActiveForm widget for the $form.




	<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'modelProperty1'); ?>

	<?php echo $form->textField($model,'modelProperty1'); ?>

	<?php echo $form->error($model,'modelProperty1'); ?>

I believe there are some good examples of how to use the CActiveForm widget in the Cookbook section.
