lets say i have a table named
cars{
'id','name','brand_id',
}
and another table
brand{
'id','brand_name',
}
I have a situation that i want to generate an Excel report with the following attributes.
'name','brand_name'
i.e. SELECT cars.name, brand.brand_name FROM cars INNER JOIN on brand WHERE cars.brand_id = brand.id
So i created a dataprovider like this:
$sql = "SELECT cars.name, brand.brand_name FROM cars INNER JOIN brand on cars.brand_id = brand.id";
$result = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql)->queryAll();
$this->render('doc', array('dataprovider' => $result));
Now i want to generate Excel file with result as a dataProvider
so i write the following code:
// lets say i am doing this in view page named doc.php
$factory = new CWidgetFactory();
Yii::import('ext.eexcelview.EExcelView',true);
$widget = $factory->createWidget($this,'EExcelView', array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataprovider->search(),
'grid_mode'=>'export',
'title'=>'Title',
'creator'=>'TNC',
'autoWidth'=>false,
'filename'=>'Report.xlsx',
'stream'=>false,
'disablePaging'=>false,
'exportType'=>'Excel2007',
'columns'=>array(
'name',
'brand_name',),
'showTableOnEmpty' => false,
));
$widget->init();
$widget->run();
I have included all the extensions that i have to.. This code is working when i fed the dataProvider
field with a single table entry .
But the situation arises when i include multiple tables.
These lines don't actually make a dataprovider:
$result = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql)->queryAll();
$this->render('doc', array('dataprovider' => $result));
You'll want to do something like the following:
$dataprovider = new CSqlDataProvider($sql, array(
'pagination'=>false,
);
$this->render('doc', array('dataprovider' => $dataprover);
