Yii2 Kartik-v Editable Column update multiple table cells - php

Question

I set up editable column for the GridView in Yii2 with Kartik Editable extension. The problem I am facing is that I cannot find a way to update multiple table cell from one editable column.
The things I did:
GridView column
[
'class' => 'kartik\grid\EditableColumn',
'attribute'=>'post_title',
'editableOptions'=> function ($model, $key, $index) {
return [
'inputType' => \kartik\editable\Editable::INPUT_TEXT,
'size'=>'sm',
'afterInput'=>function ($form, $widget) use ($model, $index) {
return $form->field($model, 'post_description')->textInput(['placeholder'=>'Enter post title']);
}
];
}
],
By clicking edit post title column it shows edit fields for title and description
PostsController action
public function actionIndex()
{
$searchModel = new PostsSearch();
$dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
if (Yii::$app->request->post('hasEditable')) {
$postId = Yii::$app->request->post('editableKey');
$model = Posts::findOne($postId);
$out = Json::encode(['output'=>'', 'message'=>'']);
$post = [];
$posted = current($_POST['Posts']);
$post['Posts'] = $posted;
if ($model->load($post)) {
$output = '';
$out = Json::encode(['output'=>$output, 'message'=>'']);
$model->save();
}
echo $out;
return;
}
return $this->render('index', [
'searchModel' => $searchModel,
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
]);
}
So, when I edit post title and description only post title is saved into database.
I think it is because current saves only one value
$posted = current($_POST['Posts']);
What is the proper way to save both
$model->post_title and $model->post_description ?

Answer 1

This is an Ajax editable column. At a time only one value would be sent to the controller.
So the class of post_title and post_description column must be editable in the view.
This should work everytime you edit those columns.
Also change this
if ($model->load($post)) {
if (isset($model->post_title)){
// here you can format the value of the attribute
and display on the screen
$output = $model->post_title;
}
if (isset($model->post_description)){
$output = $model->post_description;
}
$model->save();
// Here you send a message that the value has been saved
$out = Json::encode(['output'=>$output, 'message'=>'Saved']);
}
