I have a model class, and i use it in many views.

class Translations extends CActiveRecord
{
...
    public function attributeLabels()
    {
        return array(
            'row_id' => 'Row',
            'locale' => 'Locale',
            'short_title' => 'Short Title',
            'title' => 'Title',
            'sub_title' => 'Sub Title',
            'description' => 'Description',
            'content1' => 'Content1',
            'content2' => 'Content2',
            'com_text1' => 'Com Text1',
            'com_text2' => 'Com Text2',
            'com_text3' => 'Com Text3',
            'com_text4' => 'Com Text4',
            'com_text5' => 'Com Text5',
            'com_text6' => 'Com Text6',         
        );
    }
...
}

Can i change model attributes labels value for each view?

Answer 1

You could declare a scenario for the model depending on which view you are going to use and define the params according to the scenario? Lets say your different views are for different people:

public function attributeLabels()
{
    switch($this->scenario)
    {
        case 'PersonA':
            $labels = array(
                ...
                'myField' => 'My Label for PersonA',
               ...
            );
            break;
        case 'PersonB':
            $labels = array(
                ...
                'myField' => 'My Label for PersonB',
               ...
            );
            break;
        case 'PersonC':
            $labels = array(
                ...
                'myField' => 'My Label for PersonC',
               ...
            );
            break;
    }
    return $labels;
}

Then in your controller for each person you can define the scenario, eg;

$this->scenario = 'PersonA';

Then in the view after declaring ‘PersonA’ as the scenario you’d see the label for myField as ‘My Label for PersonA’
