Question

I have grid

<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbGridView',array(
    'id'=>'products-grid',
    'htmlOptions'=>array('class'=>'grid-view table-striped',),
    'dataProvider'=>$model->search(),
    'columns'=>$columns,
)); ?>

$model->search()

return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
            'criteria' => $criteria,
            'pagination' => array('pageSize' => 50)
        ));

And I need to limit length of every column. For example, if column 1 has value

“Hello World”

and config variable for first column is 7, then I need to render

“Hello W…”

I think, that i can solve my problem with behaviours, am I right? Please, help me!

Answer 1

CDataColumn value option helps me

foreach($columns as &$column)
{
    if($column['name'] == 'number')
    {
         $column['value'] = 'strlen($data->number) > 14 ? substr($data->number, 0, 14)."..." : $data->number';
    }
}
