Got a members model with the following attributes,
id,
name,
introduced_by
introduced_by attribute refers to the id and is the old member who introduced the new member.
In detailview the following gives the new members name instead of the introducer
[
'attribute'=>'introduced_by',
'value' => $model->name,
],
How can i get the Old members name referred by introduced_by
Add a "introducedBy" relation in "Member" model, such as:
public function getIntroducedBy()
{
return $this->hasOne(Member::className(), ['id' => 'introduced_by']);
}
and then in detail view:
[
'attribute'=>'introduced_by',
'value' => ($model->introducedBy!=null)?$model->introducedBy->name:null,
],
Just FYI you do not need to set the value and you can use dot notation
[
'introducedBy.name',
//or
['attribute'=>'indroducedBy.name']
]
Fabrizio Caldarelli - didnt work. will try other option by skworden
public function getIntroducedBy()
{
return $this->hasOne(Member::className(), ['id' => 'introduced_by']);
}
and then in detail view:
[
'attribute'=>'introduced_by',
'value' => ($model->introducedBy!=null)?$model->introducedBy->name:null,
],
