Index as a Table¶

Defining Columns¶

By default, all fields are displayed on the index page. To display an attribute or a method on a record, you can use the scaffold.fields config option.

$action = $this->Crud->action();
$action->setConfig('scaffold.fields', ['id', 'title']);

To specify the title used in the pagination header, you need to set scaffold.fields to an associative array and use the title parameter:

$action = $this->Crud->action();
$action->setConfig('scaffold.fields', [
  'author_id' => ['title' => 'Author Name'],
]);

Index Action Elements¶

All the CrudView templates are built from several elements that can be overridden by creating them in your own templates/element folder. The following sections will list all the elements that can be overridden for each type of action.

In general, if you want to override a template, it is a good idea to copy the original implementation from vendor/friendsofcake/crud-view/templates/element

search

Create templates/element/search.ctp for having full control over how the search filters are displayed in your pagination table. You can expect the $searchInputs and $searchOptions variables to be available

index/table

Create templates/element/index/table.ctp To implement your own table.

index/pagination

Create templates/element/index/pagination.ctp To implement your own pagination links and counter.

index/bulk_actions/table

Create templates/element/index/bulk_actions/table.ctp for changing how the bulk action inputs for the whole table. You can expect the $bulkActions, $primaryKey and $singularVar variables to be available.

index/bulk_actions/record

Create templates/element/index/bulk_actions/record.ctp for changing how the bulk action inputs for each row are displayed. You can expect the $bulkActions, $primaryKey and $singularVar variables to be available.

index/bulk_actions/form_start

Create templates/element/index/bulk_actions/form_start.ctp To customize the Form create call for bulk actions

index/bulk_actions/form_end

Create templates/element/index/bulk_actions/form_end.ctp To customize the Form end call for bulk actions
