如何在yii中使用CActiveForm制作动态文本区域

Question

I want to make text area in cactiveform in yii dynamically. but I am getting error i.e. "Property "Verse.translation" is not defined"

I have translation_text field, not translation field in my db. Secondly $trans['translation_text'] display the verse translation but when i keep it in textArea it is giving error. as i have described.

I have a code.

<?php foreach($model->verseTranslations as $trans) { ?>
<?php $model->translation = $trans['translation_text']; ?>
<?php echo $form->textArea($model,'translation',array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50)); ?>
<?php } ?>

But i do not know how to keep value $trans['translation_text'] in textArea.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Do it like this :

<?php foreach($model->verseTranslations as $trans) { ?>
<?php echo $form->textArea($model,'translation',array('value'=>$trans['translation_text'],'rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50)); ?>
<?php } ?>

And in your model as RobM said earlier, but don't forget to add a validator in you Verse class for 'translation' attribute ! :

class Verse extends CActiveRecord
{
    public $translation;
    public function rules()
    {
        return array(   
                   array(
                           'translation',
                           'safe',
                           'on'=>'',
                    ),
                    //others validators here
                );
     }
}
