Search using zii widget

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hello guys. I am using zii.widgets.grid.CGridView for search purpose. Which Gii crud creates automatically. see the below auto generated code




<?php

$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(

    'id' => 'projects-grid',

    'dataProvider' => $model->search(),

    'filter' => $model,

    'columns' => array(

        'name',

        'project_id',

        'project_type',

        'actual_start_date',

        'actual_end_date',

        array(

            'class' => 'CButtonColumn',

        ),

    ),

));

?>

No if we want to remove filtering/searching form here we just remove filter option. But question is, is there any possibility that we can separate our filter/search property from listing and place it anywhere else at same page.

like at many forms in left column we have a quick search box and in right column we have a listing view. user type in text box in left, and searched material is displayed in right grid…

any idea how we can separate filter option??

You can use Advanced Search generated by Gii, and move it’s code to anywhere you wish. Or make you own search form and pass data from search()->criteria. Take a look this.
