itemView in CListView

[fiesh]

Hi,

I’m running into a probably stupid problem, but I cannot find a nice solution for it.

I have widgets/someWidget.php, having a class SomeWidget, that calls

$this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView, array(..., 'itemView' => 'something'));

Now CListView uses CWidget’s getViewPath() to figure out that the view path is ‘/path/to/project/protected/widgets/views’ because it was called from ‘/path/to/project/protected/widgets/someWidget.php’. I don’t understand the logic behind this, and I don’t want it since my view resides in ‘/path/to/project/protected/views/something.php’.

For some reason viewPath is read-only, so I cannot escape the jail that CListView sets up for me…

Is there some decent solution without extending CListView?

Thanks!

Try this:

$this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(..., 'itemView' => 'application.rest.of.path.to.view'));

This from here:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CWidget#getViewFile-detail

Looks for the view script file according to the view name. This method will look for the view under the widget’s viewPath. The view script file is named as “ViewName.php”. A localized view file may be returned if internationalization is needed. See CApplication::findLocalizedFile for more details. The view name can also refer to a path alias if it contains dot characters.

I can’t believe I did not see that all these times I read the documentation and the source. Thanks you very much!
