Yii2 how to set custom value for checkbox in gridview widget

In Yii2, while you use gridview widget to display your table data, for performing any operation on the record by selecting the checkbox, gridview assign the value of the first column retrieved from your the result set.

But you need to set some different value to the checkbox, so to do that you can use the below code

GridView::widget([
	'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
	'filterModel' => $searchModel,
	'columns' => [
		['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
		[
			'class' => '\kartik\grid\CheckboxColumn',
			'checkboxOptions' => function($model, $key, $index, $widget) {
				return ["value" => $model['id']]; // this can be substituted with any column value of your result data
			},
		],
		'name',
		['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
	],
]);

instead of the default one

GridView::widget([
	'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
	'filterModel' => $searchModel,
	'columns' => [
		['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
		[
			'class' => '\kartik\grid\CheckboxColumn',
			'mergeHeader'=>false
		],
		'name',
		['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
	],
]);

issue with submit form in ajax success response

Usually when we try to submit the form after ajax call on success response, the form does not’t get submitted.

Like for example in below code:-

$.ajax({
type : “POST”,
url : “to/some/url”,
data : {
userName:userName,
mobileNumber:mobileNumber,
otp:otp
},
dataType : “json”,
success : function(data)
{
if(data.result == true) {
jQuery(“#form_id”).submit();
}else {
return false;
}
}
});

Now why this occur. Since you are calling the submit function from the ajax response, you need to remove the “submit” handler before submitting the form again. I.E. You need to submit the form without doing the ajax call again. Refer below:-

$.ajax({
type : “POST”,
url : “to/some/url”,
data : {
userName:userName,
mobileNumber:mobileNumber,
otp:otp
},
dataType : “json”,
success : function(data)
{
if(data.result == true) {
// Submit this form without doing the ajax call again
jQuery(“#form_id”).unbind().submit();
}else {
return false;
}
}
});
