How to display delete, edit icons?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

What is the easiest way to display the delete (X) and edit (pencil) icons outside of the CGridView widget?

2

What do you mean by "outside"? And what would be the behavior of these icons? Just images? Or something would happen when clicking them?

3

How many rows are you displaying in the grid?

If it’s just 1 it would be relatively easy, otherwise you would need to create a usable interface that lines up the icons with each row, in which case they might as well be in the grid where they are.

Could you explain the use case?

4

They would be images that, when clicked, would pop up a Jquery dialog box.

I plan on putting these images in draggable list elements on the page. I want to be able to edit and delete the contents of the list elements.

5

Sorry, I’m still confused… would they interact with the grid rows at all or do you just want the images?

6

I just want the images. I’m not even using CGridView.

7

Ah, ok no worries :)

You’ll find them here:

framework/zii/widgets/assets/gridview

So I guess I should just copy them to a public images folder and link to them. Is that the easiest way to display them?

9

Yes, that would be fine:

With images folder at root it would look something like below:


<a href="#your-action"><img src="<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/images/delete.png" alt="Delete" /></a>

That works. Thanks for your help!
