How can I replace whitespace [ ] by [<br>] on label

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi :rolleyes:

My table contient some fields with camel2words like : priceItem

On my label this is like as : Price Item

I would change this by Price<br>Item : single line break

Can I ?

On Yii [color="#FF0000"]2.0[/color] I tried with BaseInflector.php [… mysite\vendor\yiisoft\yii2\helpers]

I changed ’ ', by ‘<br>’,


    public static function camel2words($name, $ucwords = true)

    {

        $label = trim(strtolower(str_replace([

            '-',

            '_',

            '.',

        ], '<br>', preg_replace('/(?<![A-Z])[A-Z]/', ' \0', $name))));


        return $ucwords ? ucwords($label) : $label;

    }

and


    public static function humanize($word, $ucAll = false)

    {

        $word = str_replace('_', '<br>', preg_replace('/_id$/', '', $word));


        return $ucAll ? ucwords($word) : ucfirst($word);

    }

but there aren’t any change :unsure:

always it is like this : Price Item

Thanks

While I’m trying to understand the search pattern :) you may try change the space before the replacement

preg_replace(’/(?<![A-Z])[A-Z]/’, ’ \0’, $name)

(It’s not recommended to make changes to the framework code. Can’t tell exactly how to override.)

camel2words() is called from several places. The result may not be what you expected.

You may try overiding generateAttributeLabel

Thank Tri,

My goal : the labels are in two lines

So I don’t know how can I :

I thought to replace whitespace [ ] by single line break [<br>]

So I tried :


 public static function camel2words($name, $ucwords = true)

    {

        /*

		$label = trim(strtolower(str_replace([

            '-',

            '_',

            '.',

        ], ' ', preg_replace('/(?<![A-Z])[A-Z]/', ' \0', $name))));

		*/

		$label = trim(strtolower(str_replace([

            '-',

            '_',

            '.',

        ], '<br>', $name)));


        return $ucwords ? ucwords($label) : $label;

    }

and


    public static function humanize($word, $ucAll = false)

    {

        /*

		$word = str_replace('_', ' ', preg_replace('/_id$/', '', $word));

		*/

		$word = str_replace('_', '<br>', $word)


        return $ucAll ? ucwords($word) : ucfirst($word);

    }

but it doesn’t work.

You say :

So do you have another idea to put the label on two lines, instead of a single line ?

OK I’m going to search other place on api…

Did you try inserting <br> where I suggested (in boldface)?. Worth a temp try.

And look for generateAttributeLabel() here

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-base-model.html

Should be possible to override in any kind of model e.g an ActiveRecord.

Example from a Yii 1.x AR model, may be same for 2.0 (still learning)




/**

 * @return array customized attribute labels (name=>label)

 */

public function attributeLabels()

{

    return array(

        'UserId' => 'User',

        // ...

        'LastLogin' => 'Last Login',

    );

}

Now found the 2.0 documentation section

Hi Tri

Yes it is : :)

in models\product.php

I can put [<br />]


public function attributeLabels()

    {

        return [

            'id' => 'ID',

            'priceItem' => 'Price<br />Item',

            'titleItem' => 'Title<br> Item',

but <br> (or <br />) does not function like code html so I have not it

I see this :

±---------------------+

| Price<br/>Item |

±---------------------+

instead of :

±--------+

| Pric e |

| It e m |

±--------+

So I must find another solution

I found the solution with CSS


.grid-view th {

    white-space: normal!important;

}

thanks
