YII Client side form validation error doesn't prevent form submit To get this behavior you just need to add 'clientOptions' => array('validateOnSubmit'=>true), to your configuration so it would look like this: $form=$this->beginWidget( 'CActiveForm', array( 'id'=>'member-form', 'enableAjaxValidation'=>false, 'enableClientValidation'=>true, 'clientOptions' => array('validateOnSubmit'=>true), ) );

Yii cgridview make custom drop down filters, Yii cgridview set row color based on a condition, Yii cgridview add time picker in filter, Yii cgridview add drop down in colum values Here is an example how you can make custom drop down filters in YII cgridview: $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array( 'id' => 'card-applications-grid', 'dataProvider' => $model->search(), 'filter' => $model, 'afterAjaxUpdate' => 'reinstallDatePicker', 'rowCssClassExpression'=>'($data->is_updated==1)?"application_updated":"application_not_updated"', 'columns' => array( array( 'name'=>'applicant_id', 'value'=>'$data->applicant_id', 'filter'=> CHtml::listData($model->findAll(), 'applicant_id', 'applicant_id')

Belows is how you can use CGridView  'rowCssClassExpression'  to change row color based on a column's value: $this -> widget ( 'zii.widgets.grid.CGridView' , array ( 'dataProvider' => $dataProvider , 'rowCssClassExpression' => '($data->column_name==0)?"new":"old"' , 'columns' => array ( ... ), )); You can also call a custom php function, and pass the $data variable to it. That function should return the class name for the given row :)
