I'm working on the Admin view in Yii for my Project model.
One of the columns with a filter is user (owner) of the project.
I can do something like this:
'filter'=> CHtml::dropDownList('Project[user_id]', $model->user_id,
CHtml::listData(User::model()->orderAsc()->findAll(),
'id','username'),array('empty'=>'(select)')),
Which gives me a list of all users in the user table, but I'd like to create something that pulls the distinct users who own a project (I've got 200 users, but only a handful tend to create projects).
Project and User are related via:
'user' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'user_id')
I've tried a bunch of option in the findAll() method, but none worked, I'm not trying to do something with a scope.
So far I've tried this:
'filter'=> CHtml::dropDownList('Project[user_id]', $model->user_id,
CHtml::listData(Project::model()->with('user')->ownerUsernames()->
findAll(), 'id','username'),array('empty'=>'(select)')),
and my Scope is defined as:
'ownerUsernames' => array(
'with' => 'user.username',
'select' => 'user.username',
'distinct' => true,
),
I've tried so many iterations of the above I've lost count 'with'=>'username' 'select'=>'username' etc., but just can't seem to get it to work.
I've tried replace Project::model() with $model just because I thought it might have something to do with it, but no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated. Very new to Yii, but this seems like something it can do.
