Property Details

a javascript function that will be invoked after a successful AJAX response is received. The function signature is function(id, data) where 'id' refers to the ID of the grid view 'data' the received ajax response data.

the ID of the container whose content may be updated with an AJAX response. Defaults to null, meaning the container for this grid view instance. If it is set false, it means sorting and pagination will be performed in normal page requests instead of AJAX requests. If the sorting and pagination should trigger the update of multiple containers' content in AJAX fashion, these container IDs may be listed here (separated with comma).

the name of the GET variable that indicates the request is an AJAX request triggered by this widget. Defaults to 'ajax'. This is effective only when ajaxUpdate is not false.

the base script URL for all grid view resources (e.g. javascript, CSS file, images). Defaults to null, meaning using the integrated grid view resources (which are published as assets).

a javascript function that will be invoked before an AJAX update occurs. The function signature is function(id) where 'id' refers to the ID of the grid view.

grid column configuration. Each array element represents the configuration for one particular grid column which can be either a string or an array.

When a column is specified as a string, it should be in the format of "name:type:header", where "type" and "header" are optional. A CDataColumn instance will be created in this case, whose CDataColumn::name, CDataColumn::type and CDataColumn::header properties will be initialized accordingly.

When a column is specified as an array, it will be used to create a grid column instance, where the 'class' element specifies the column class name (defaults to CDataColumn if absent). Currently, these official column classes are provided: CDataColumn, CLinkColumn, CButtonColumn and CCheckBoxColumn.

the URL of the CSS file used by this grid view. Defaults to null, meaning using the integrated CSS file. If this is set false, you are responsible to explicitly include the necessary CSS file in your page.

the model instance that keeps the user-entered filter data. When this property is set, the grid view will enable column-based filtering. Each data column by default will display a text field at the top that users can fill in to filter the data.

the CSS class name for the table row element containing all filter input fields. Defaults to 'filters'.

whether the filters should be displayed in the grid view. Valid values include:

• header: the filters will be displayed on top of each column's header cell.
• body: the filters will be displayed right below each column's header cell.
• footer: the filters will be displayed below each column's footer cell.

the formatter instance. Defaults to the 'format' application component.

whether the table should render a footer. This is true if any of the columns has a true CGridColumn::hasFooter value.

whether to hide the header cells of the grid. When this is true, header cells will not be rendered, which means the grid cannot be sorted anymore since the sort links are located in the header. Defaults to false.

the text to be displayed in a data cell when a data value is null. This property will NOT be HTML-encoded when rendering. Defaults to an HTML blank.

the CSS class names for the table body rows. If multiple CSS class names are given, they will be assigned to the rows sequentially and repeatedly. This property is ignored if rowCssClassExpression is set. Defaults to array('odd', 'even').

a PHP expression that is evaluated for every table body row and whose result is used as the CSS class name for the row. In this expression, the variable $row stands for the row number (zero-based), $data is the data model associated with the row, and $this is the grid object.

the number of table body rows that can be selected. If 0, it means rows cannot be selected. If 1, only one row can be selected. If 2 or any other number, it means multiple rows can be selected. A selected row will have a CSS class named 'selected'. You may also call the JavaScript function $.fn.yiiGridView.getSelection(containerID) to retrieve the key values of the selected rows.

a javascript function that will be invoked after the row selection is changed. The function signature is function(id) where 'id' refers to the ID of the grid view. In this function, you may use $.fn.yiiGridView.getSelection(id) to get the key values of the currently selected rows.

whether to display the table even when there is no data. Defaults to true. The emptyText will be displayed to indicate there is no data.
