How To Set Image as Link in GridView

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

I can’t seem to find out how to link a thumbnail image in GridView to a view page.

On my model, I have the following method:







public function getThumbnailUrl()

    {

        

        return Url::to($this->marketing_thumb_path, true);

        

    }

And in the view I have:







 [

           	'label' => 'Thumb',

           	'format' => 'image',

           	'value' => function ($model) { 

                              return $model->getThumbnailUrl(); 

                          },

         	],

And this works perfectly for displaying the thumbnail image, but I can’t figure out how to make that a clickable link to the view page. ‘format’ => ‘image’ wraps the value in an image tag, so if I do anything inside the closure, like using Html::a, the image tags end up in the wrong place.

There is probably an obvious and simple solution to this, but I’m just missing it. Can anyone help? I would appreciate it, thanks.

pretty straight forward here you go




<?php


public function getThumb()

    {

        $image = \yii\helpers\Html::img('path/to/image.jpg');

        return \yii\helpers\Html::a($image, 'site/index');

    }


// in your gridview you can just simply do like so

'thumb:html',
