CActiveDataProvider doesnt give selected columns - php

Question

$criteria->select = 't.*,count(business_unit.id) as TotalBusinessUnits,count(users.id) as TotalUsers ,count(positions.id) as TotalPositions, count(skills.id) as TotalSkills , users.first_name , users.last_name, count(question_bank.id) as TotalQuestions';
$criteria->condition = "`t`.status = '1'";
$criteria->group = 't.id';
$criteria->order = 'created DESC';
$criteria->join = " inner join users on users.company_id = `t`.id";
$criteria->join .= " left join business_unit on business_unit.company_id = `t`.id";
$criteria->join .= " left join billingdetails on billingdetails.company_id = `t`.id";
$criteria->join .= " left join positions on positions.company_id = `t`.id";
$criteria->join .= " left join skills on skills.company_id = `t`.id";
$criteria->join .= " left join question_bank on question_bank.company_id = `t`.id";
It works fine and get all columns which I select.
But when I pass it in CActiveDataProvider it gets only this attributes.
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria'=>$criteria,
'pagination' => $pages
));
How I select all columns?

In Yii if you are using as for sql, it needs a public variable to store the value in.
add all your custom column names as public variables on the model and all should be dandy.
so if you have $criteria->select = 't.*,count(business_unit.id) as TotalBusinessUnits, this will create the corresponding sql . but Yii does not recognise TotalBusinessUnits as a valid column on the table.
So if you add public $TotalBusinessUnits; in your model Yii has a place to store this value.
Also you should then add TotalBusinessUnits to your safe attributes rule so that Yii knows it safe to fetch.
public $TotalBusinessUnits;
public function rules(){
return array(
// your rules
array('TotalBusinessUnits','safe'),
);
}
public function search(){
$criteria->select = 't.*,count(business_unit.id) as TotalBusinessUnits';
// your criteria
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria' => $criteria,
));
}
