Tips for Yii. Chapter 8.

1. CMaskedTextField.

   We will use a CMaskedTextField widget for a convenient and demonstrative input of the value in a field.

   For example, for input of a phone number.

   

   Write in the view:

   1. <div class="rowold">    
   2.     <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'phone'); ?>    
   3.     <?php    
   4.         $this->widget('CMaskedTextField', array(    
   5.             'model' => $model,    
   6.             'attribute' => 'phone',    
   7.             'mask' => '+7-999-999-9999',    
   8.             'placeholder' => '*',    
   9.         ));    
   10.         ?>    
   11.     <?php echo $form->error($model,'phone'); ?>    
   12. </div>   

   A 'mask' is a mask for an input of the value.

   A 'placeholder' are the symbols before an input of the values by the user, it is '*' in our example.

   We will check the correctness of the inputted in the model value according to the regular expressions:

   1. array('phone', 'match', 'pattern' => '/^((\+?7)(-?\d{3})-?)?(\d{3})(-?\d{4})$/', 'message' => 'Incorrect field {attribute}'),  

   By the way, http://regexlib.com is a website with regular expressions for all occasions.

    

2. statePersister.

   Sometimes it is necessary to store the state (value) of a variable, but you are lazy to create a separate table for it in the database or to write it into a file.

   A statePersiste will help you.

   It is very convenient and easy to use. Let's see the example:

   1. $data = Yii::app()->statePersister->load(); // get value    
   2. if (isset($data['count']))    
   3.     $data['count']++;    
   4. else    
   5.     $data['count'] = 1;    
   6.     
   7. Yii::app()->statePersister->save($data); // set value   
   >

   Values are saved in a protected/runtime/state.bin file.

    

3. CListView.

   Let's see different "delicacies" of a widget CListView.

   We have a usual block:

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.     'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.     'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.     'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.     'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.     'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),    
   7. ));  

   

   Change the template of an output:

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.     'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.     'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.     'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.     'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.     'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),  
   7.     'template' => '{pager} {sorter} {items} {sorter} {pager}',            
   8. ));   

   

   Change the text "Sort by" -> "Sorting":

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.             'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.             'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.             'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.             'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.             'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),  
   7.             'template' => '{pager} {sorter} {items} {sorter} {pager}',            
   8.             'sorterHeader' => 'Sorting:',   
   9.         ));  

   

   Add the displaying of a short information:

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.             'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.             'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.             'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.             'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.             'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),  
   7.             'template' => '{summary} {pager} {sorter} {items} {sorter} {pager}',              
   8.             'sorterHeader' => 'Sorting:',   
   9.         ));   

   

   Change the output of a short information:

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.             'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.             'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.             'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.             'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.             'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),  
   7.             'template' => '{summary} {pager} {sorter} {items} {sorter} {pager}',              
   8.             'sorterHeader' => 'Sorting:',  
   9.             'summaryText' => 'Show: {start} - {end}, total: {count}',             
   10.         ));  

   

   Change the text, if a table is blank or nothing is found by the given criteria:

   1. $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(    
   2.             'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,    
   3.             'itemView'=>'_view',    
   4.             'itemsTagName' => 'ol',    
   5.             'itemsCssClass' => 'advertising-blocks',    
   6.             'sortableAttributes'=>array('id'),  
   7.             'template' => '{summary} {pager} {sorter} {items} {sorter} {pager}',              
   8.             'sorterHeader' => 'Sorting:',  
   9.             'summaryText' => 'Show: {start} - {end}, total: {count}',             
   10.             'emptyText' => 'No found',  
   11.         ));
