Question

I have been facing this problem all day long.

I have 2 tables Service and Log. Each Service can have many Logs and each Log belongs to a Service.
I managed to generate the CRUD functionality for both.
Here is what I got:

app/models/Log.php

/**
 * @return array relational rules.
 */
public function relations()
{
    // NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
    // class name for the relations automatically generated below.
    return array
    (
        'services' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Service', 'sv_ident_nr'),
    );
}

app/models/Service.php

/**
 * @return array relational rules.
 */
public function relations()
{
    // NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
    // class name for the relations automatically generated below.
    return array
    (
        'logs' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Log', 'sv_ident_nr'),
    );
}

app/controlelrs/ServiceController.php

/**
 * Displays a particular model.
 * @param integer $id the ID of the model to be displayed
 */
public function actionView($id)
{
    $this->render('view', array
    (
        'model' => $this->loadModel($id),
    ));
}

app/views/service/view.php

<h1>Service: <?php echo $model->ident_nr; ?></h1>
<table class="dataGrid">
<tr>
    <th class="label"><?php echo CHtml::encode($model->getAttributeLabel('proj_nr')); ?></th>
    <td><?php echo CHtml::encode($model->proj_nr); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <th class="label"><?php echo CHtml::encode($model->getAttributeLabel('customer')); ?></th>
    <td><?php echo CHtml::encode($model->customer); ?></td>
</tr>

<h1>Comments</h1>
<?php foreach ($model->logs as $log): ?>
<div class="comment" id="c<?php echo $log->id; ?>">
    <div class="actions">
        <?php 
            echo CHtml::link('View',array($this->createUrl('../log/view', array('id'=>$log['id']))));
            echo('&nbsp');
            echo CHtml::link('Update',array($this->createUrl('../log/update', array('id'=>$log['id']))));
            echo('&nbsp');
            echo CHtml::link('Delete',array($this->createUrl('../log/delete', array('id'=>$log['id']))));
        ?>
    </div>
    <div class="author">
        <?php 
            echo $log->logger;
        ?>
    </div>
    <div class="time">
        <?php echo date('j F Y \a\t h:i a', $log->created_at); ?>
    </div>

    <div class="content">
        <?php echo nl2br(CHtml::encode($log->comment)); ?>
    </div>

</div><!-- comment -->
<?php endforeach; ?>

The question is : How do I go about paginating the results in the ‘foreach loop’?
Thanks

Instead of a CGridView, look at the docs for CListView. It allows you to do paging, Ajax retrieval, etc while also using your own template for the data. It’s well worth your time …
