yii DropDown for pageSize in CGridView

A convenient drop down to select page size and save in User state.

Step 1: On top of my controller action for the gridview (if you used CRUD, this isactionAdmin() ) i added:

1	// page size drop down changed

2	if (isset($_GET['pageSize'])) {

3	Yii::app()->user->setState('pageSize',(int)$_GET['pageSize']);

4	unset($_GET['pageSize']);  // would interfere with pager and repetitive page size change

5

}

 

Step2:  In the model (e.g. model/User.php) the data provider in search() is configured like:

1	return new CActiveDataProvider(get_class($this),array(

2	'pagination'=>array(

3	'pageSize'=> Yii::app()->user->getState('pageSize',Yii::app()->params['defaultPageSize']),

4

),

5	'criteria'=>$criteria,

6

));

 

Step 3:  Now the view (e.g. views/user/admin.php) :

01

<?php

02	// put this somewhere on top

03	$pageSize=Yii::app()->user->getState('pageSize',Yii::app()->params['defaultPageSize']); ?>

04

05

<?php

06	// we use header of button column for the drop down

07	// so change the CButtonColumn in columns array like this:

08

...

09

array(

10	'class'=>'CButtonColumn',

11	'header'=>CHtml::dropDownList('pageSize',$pageSize,array(20=>20,50=>50,100=>100),array(

12	// change 'user-grid' to the actual id of your grid!!

13	'onchange'=>"$.fn.yiiGridView.update('user-grid',{ data:{pageSize: $(this).val() }})",

14

)),

15

),

 

Step 4: And finally the application parameter

1	// Accessable with Yii::app()->params['paramName']

2	'params'=>array (

3

4	'defaultPageSize'=>20,
