Get the absolute row number in a grid

Question

In yii's CGridView I can get the current row number by using $row. But this returns the row index within the current page only. What I really need is to get the absolute row number among all pages.

I am using yii, so my dreams should come true "easily", so I expect the answer should not guide me to add a special field to the data provider or access the pager and get the current page number and then multiply numbers bla bla bla.

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you solved this? If not, I offer you the following solution

$this->widget(
  'zii.widgets.grid.CGridView',
  array(
    'columns'=>array(
      array(
        'header'=>'No.',
        'value'=>'$this->grid->dataProvider->pagination->currentPage * $this->grid->dataProvider->pagination->pageSize + ($row+1)',
      ),
    ),
  ));

basically you can access the currentpage and pagesize variables from the dataprovider and you use it to calculate the 'row number' for the whole data. Why the $row + 1? because $row starts from 0. Hope this helps :D

Answer 2

Maybe this will help: CDataProvider has a property "totalItemCount" which can be used:

Ex: $this->grid->dataProvider->getTotalItemCount();
