YII2 Insert records selected from one grid to another - php

Question

i'm new in Yii2, previously i use self-made-mvc-php + extjs 4.2
So i working on Yii2 now, i'm starting to get the hang of it for simple CRUD, my pobrem starts when i need to make entry form for parent-child tables.
I have 3 tables
commission
commission_id
commission_name
commission_amount
commission_percent
commission_scheme
cscheme_id
cscheme_name
cscheme_amount
cscheme_percent
cscheme_bonus
cscheme_description
commission_scheme_detail
cscheme_detail_id
commission_id
cscheme_id
The entry form is for commission_scheme and commission_scheme_detail.
I have generated all the crud using gii
i modify _form.php, add a gridview of commission_scheme_detail after the active form
i also add modal containing selection grid from commission
this is _form.php
gridview
<?php Pjax::begin(['id' => 'pjaxCschemedetail',
'timeout' => false,
'enablePushState' => false,
'clientOptions' => ['method' => 'POST']
]);
echo GridView::widget([
'id' => 'gridCschemedetail',
'dataProvider' => $detailData,
'columns' => [
['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
'CSCHEME_DETAIL_ID',
'CSCHEME_ID',
'COMMISSION_ID',
[
'class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn',
'buttons' => [
'update' => function ($url, $model) {
return Html::a('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil"></span>', Yii::$app->urlManager->createUrl(['commission-scheme-detail/view','id' => $model->CSCHEME_DETAIL_ID,'edit'=>'t']), [
'title' => Yii::t('yii', 'Edit'),
]);}
],
],
],
'responsive'=>true,
'hover'=>true,
'condensed'=>true,
'floatHeader'=>true,
'panel' => [
'type'=>'info',
'before'=>
'after'=>Html::a('<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-repeat"></i> Reset List', ['index'], ['class' => 'btn btn-info']),
Html::button('Add', [
'id' => 'addDetailButton',
'class' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-plus btn btn-success btn-ajax-modal',
'value' => Url::to('#web/commission/listselect'),
'data-target' => '#modal_cschemedetail',
]),
'showFooter'=>false
],
]); Pjax::end();
Modal
Modal::begin([
'id' => 'modal_cschemedetail',
'header' => '<h4>Category</h4>',
]);
echo '<div id="modal-content"></div>';
echo Html::button('Add Selected', [
'id' => 'addCommissionsButton',
'class' => 'btn btn-success btn-ajax-modal'
]);
Modal::end();
?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="box-body">
</div>
</div>
selection grid
<?php Pjax::begin(); echo GridView::widget([
'id' => 'gridCommissionSelection',
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'filterModel' => $searchModel,
'columns' => [
['class' => 'yii\grid\CheckboxColumn'],
['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
[
'attribute' => 'COMMISSION_ID',
'visible' => false
],
'COMMISSION_NAME',
[
'attribute' => 'TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID',
'value' => 'transactionTypeName'
],
'COMMISSION_DESC:ntext',
'COMMISSION_AMOUNT',
]
'responsive'=>true,
'hover'=>true,
'condensed'=>true,
'floatHeader'=>true,
]); Pjax::end(); ?>
Is it possible to insert the selected records from the modal to the detail gridview, then after user click the create button, the form and the inserted records in gridview saved to respective tables?
How can i insert the selected records to gridview (not to db table, it will be done after user click create)?

Answer 1

I suggest you to simplify your flow. You can easily save your models (performing an insert/update) at Modal and then refresh the page or call the $.pjax.reload('#gridCommissionSelection') to redraw the grid-view with new entries.
Another way is to append new lines with JS and then save them via AJAX request. It will be rather dirty and unclear solution, I guess :)
