How to perform search in yii? - search

Question

I have a manage quotations page. I need a search based on quotation name and project customer in drop down. With respect to quotation name, I got right search. But drop down user search is not working correctly. The drop down is using another model. The code I followed is given below:-
manageprojects.php
<?php echo CHtml::link('Advanced Search','#',array('class'=>'search-button')); ?>
<div class="search-form">
<?php $this->renderPartial('_search',array(
'model'=>$bots,
'modell'=>$model,
)); ?>
</div>
_search.php
<?php
/* #var $this QuotationsController */
/* #var $model Aquotations */
/* #var $form CActiveForm */
?>
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'action'=>Yii::app()->createUrl($this->route),
'method'=>'get',
)); ?>
<style>
.row1{width:auto; overflow:hidden;}
.row20{width:20%;display:inline-block;}
</style>
<div class="row1">
<div class="row20">
<?php echo $form->label($model,'Quotation Serial No'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'serial_no'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row20">
<?php echo $form->label($model,'Project'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'project_id',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255,'id' =>'projectsid','onkeyup' => "searchcprojects()")); ?>
<div id="searchresult" style="background:#90EE90;"></div>
</div>
<div class="row20">
<?php echo $form->label($model,'Select User'); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('user_id', $model->id, CHtml::listData($model::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'name')), 'id', 'name'), array('empty' => 'Select User', 'class' => 'span12')); ?>
</div>
<div class="row20">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Search', array("class" => "btn btn-danger")); ?>
</div>
</div><!--row1-->
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
project Controller
$model = new Acustomers();
$bot=new Aquotations('search');
$bot->unsetAttributes(); // clear any default values
if(isset($_GET['Aquotations'])){
$bot->attributes=$_GET['Aquotations'];
}
$this->render('managequotations',array(
'bots' => $bot,
'model' => $model,

Answer 1

You need to use the activeDropDownList not the dropDownList:
<?php echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model, 'user_id',
CHtml::listData(User::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'name')),'id','name'),
array('empty' => 'Select User', 'class' => 'span12'));
?>
